The Motion pictures where a development of the most important communication tools in the 20th century. Most of the Film which were recorded before the 1930s were without sound. The invention of motion picture films has affected Art, Technology and Politics. A video camera has replaced the Motion Camera's place for private users but professionals still use the Movie Cameras especially for the production of full-feature movies. 

There is also another type of cameras, the Still camera which captures a singe shot at a time where as the Movie camera takes few images at once. The movie camera is able to take few images at once because of the intermittent mechanism. The images are then played back in a movie projector which allows multiple people to see the results, the images were showed at a specific speed which is called the Frame Rate (number of frames per second). A persons eye and brain merge the separate images to create an illusion of Motion
