The american english word for film is - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Hello to everybody

I’m new posting here, but I have been reading this forum for a while. I’m from Spain and I don’t speak english very well, so, please, be patient with me. I’ll try to do my best

I’m writting an essay for an english class assigment and I’ve decided to talk about Sony Corporation.

I want to say that Sony Co. is one of the most important cinema movie/films producers around the world.

Is this sentence correct? Can I use movie or films without any distinction? If there is any difference. ¿Which are they?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Sagoga and welcome,

Movie is American English (AE); I think film is almost exclusively British English (BE). I don’t think you need the cinema.

It should be film producers, except that a film producer is someone who puts up money to make a film. I suspect that Sony are distributors.

I’d also say in the world. Around suggests movement and is associated with verbs like send.

So I’d put:

Sony Co. is one of the most important film/movie distributors in the world. (choose film or movie depending on whether you want BE or AE)

Bear in mind that I speak BE. I can’t give you reliable information on correct AE use.

Saltant, Thomas Thompion thanks a lot for your help. I was really lost about the difference between those two words.
Now, my problem is that I have to choose in «which english» I want to write my essay I need some time for meditation…

Saltant, your spanish is correct but I’m afraid that you must improve your english (obviously, joking )

Thomas Thompion, I was sure that Sony not only distributes but also produces, but now…I think I’m done a little mess. I have to do some research

Thanks a lot for the «in the world» tip, too

PS I wish my english has also been correct in this post

Toadie

In America, the word «film» still greatly exists, but it is more a formal term. It’s something you hear in a review for a movie, mostly. I would use film in that case.

Thomas Thompion, I was sure that Sony not only distributes but also produces, but now…I think I’m done a little mess. I have to do some research

You may well be right about this. Don’t take my word for it.

Toadie, thanks, you have finished with my meditations

Thomas Tompion, ok, then I’ll write both because I don’t think that my teacher will check it. Thanks

On their website, they say their «global operations encompass motion picture production and distribution».

Thanks squidink, I don’t know what I had been doing, but I didn’t find the answer.

Movie is still used in the UK. «Sky Movies» is a major film TV channel, however day to day people still use ‘film’ more often as obviously it’s easier to say!

People in the motion picture industry in the U.S. use the term «film» rather than «movie.»

Outside of the industry, it depends on how close someone is to the industry; people in Los Angeles often use the term «film» rather than «movie,» but in other parts of the country «movie» is the most common term.

Also be aware that «Co.» is the abbreviation for «Company». If the full name of the organization is «Sony Corporation», then you should use «Corp.» as the abbreviation.

I heard once that «movies» stand for «moving pictures»… and that the word comes from the States. Maybe Americans need more pictural not to say more explicit words in their vocabulary.

Dear CalvinMo: What???

As for film/movie … having worked in the field one of the interesting (AE) distinctions that I noticed is that an individual is always refered to as «a movie producer» but a company is always involved in «film production.»

Scott Rudin, the movie producer, has his offices at Paramount, the film production company.

(And as squidink offers, you can’t go wrong with ‘motion picture production company’ either.)

Oh my god! I didn’t think that I would learn so much with this thread about the movies/films stuff

Thanks a lot to everybody for reading my post and trying to help me.

GreenWhiteBlue, thank you for the «Co.» tip.

PS Nice to see how people helps without receiving anything

I heard once that «movies» stand for «moving pictures»… and that the word comes from the States. Maybe Americans need more pictural not to say more explicit words in their vocabulary.

Maybe some genuine etymology would be useful.

Online Etym. Dict.: Film—

Sense of «a thin coat of something» is 1577, extended by 1845 to the coating of chemical gel on photographic plates. By 1895 this also meant the coating plus the paper or celluloid. First used of «motion pictures» in 1905.

movie—

1912 (perhaps 1908), shortened form of moving picture (1896).

I don’t imagine that the average European thinks of chemical gel on a celluloid substrate while
watching one, any more than the average American ponders moving pictures from the 1890s.

Hello,

I want to ask about the difference between **film and movie**

Is the film when we watch it on Tv and Movie is the film which we watch it in the Cenime????

And I would like if you will tell me how we called a series of episodes

Is it a film or a series?

Thanks

Kind Regards

Film usually refers to all the aspects of making movies, the production, direction, and the movie itself. But a film is also a movie. It doesn´t matter if you watch it at home or at the movie theater, you can call it a movie or a film. But movie is more common. Film is usually more artsy, or technical e.g. «a documentary film»
and it’s a series when referring to a TV show
hope that helps!

Yes It helps me a lot

I was having wrong idea about films & movies

Thanks for making it clear for me

Best Regards

Arrius

Movie is American and film can be used in England for whichever of the two the Americans use. If I ever use movie it is because some American might be around. Both nations also say picture, but the British go to the pictures whereas the Americans go to a movie or to the movies, when they visit a cinema, or (Amer.) a movie theater.

Film is more usually heard in British English and movie in American English, whether watched on TV or at the cinema.

Something which is shown in episodes (mostly on TV) can be a series or a serial. A serial tells a story and leaves you with a «cliff-hanger» ending to make sure you watch the next episode. A series is a variety of stories involving the same characters. You can watch any single programme in a series without having to watch all of them. If you are hooked on a serial then you need to watch every episode to keep up with the story.

«Film» is probably more European, somehow more serious, I think there’s a magazine called «Le Film», and it’s mainly about how the films are made, the theories behind it, and the way the light and set are arranged to achieve the «art». (in other words, you won’t see big photos of some pretty faces in that magazine)

And «movie» is more, you know, about Hollywood and blockbusters and stuff (to me), when I think about «movies», I think about popcorns and cokes

Serials/series are also called soap operas, I believe.

There are regional differences in the U.S. People in the motion picture industry generally say «film.» As a result, here in Los Angeles, «film» is heard much more often than «movie.» I’ve lived in other parts of the country (Nebraska, New England) where I seldom heard the word «film.»

As an British English speaker, I would agree that film is the usual word for what many Americans would call a movie. However, movie is becoming more commonly used in the UK and would be perfectly understood. If anyone were to correct you and tell you to say film instead, they are just being a snob!

In my opinion, a series is a programme that runs for a fixed duration, for example ten episodes. It could then start again after a break with a new series. A soap opera (or soap for short) is a programme with no fixed end. Their episodes are often shown a few times a week and many (here in England anyway!) have been running non-stop for years. Examples of British soaps would be Eastenders and Coronation Street (there is also the very popular Australian soap Neighbours). Examples of American series (as foreign speakers are more likely to be familiar with them) would be Friends, ER and Sex and the City. Series don’t always have to be dramas though, we would talk about «the new series of Big Brother» too.

Hello,

what is the differnce between a movie and a film?

Thank you for answerring me,
Chouquette.

Nothing, to my knowledge.

«Movie» is a less formal word (in Australia, at least) and is said more conversationally.
«Film» tends to be a more elegant way to say it (not as colloquial).

Aside from that, I find the two to be entirely interchangeable.

Thank you Cropje,

So I can say ‘he did a lot of films drama’ Il a fait beaucoup de films à suspense’ and not movie drama?

Chouquette.

Chouquette.

Actually: he did a lot of drama films. (Or drama movies — less formal)

Or should we say simply: thrillers ? Hmm..

I am not sure about in Oz but «movie» is the most common term in the US whereas «film» is the most common term in Britain. The Americans say «to go to the movies», while the British say, «to go to the cinema» or «to see a film».

«Movies» therefore evokes more Hollywood, and «film» is used more in artsy contexts, though this is a mere nuance of usage for the Brits and not part of the definition.

Can one say «watch a film»?

If it’s correct, what’s the difference between that and «watch a movie»?

Can one say «watch a film»?

Yes, absolutely.

If it’s correct, what’s the difference between that and «watch a movie»?

None, other than whether the speaker is more likely to call the thing a «film» or a «movie». Note that depending on a number of factors, espcially where the speaker is from, a speaker will tend to use one of those two terms far more than the other.

So it would look strange to mix them? If you write a text you should just use one of them?

Loob

Yes, I’d say so, in general. I have the feeling that AmE «movie» is creeping into BrE, though, so you may well see both movie and film in the same BrE article

But would this sound awkward:

«This is for those of us who enjoy watching movies but also feel that we would like to have the opportunity to speak more English.

What we will do is: we meet, watch a film together and then talk about it. Alternatively we watch the film individiually and just meet and talk.»

I understand you can say both, but in the same text..?

There is nothing inherently wrong with using both terms to mean the same thing in the same text, but it is unusual to do so in AE (American English). One usually uses either film or movie consistently.

Hello,

I would like to know the different nuance between ‘movies’ and ‘films’.

No difference, «Movies» is American, «Films» is British. «Films» is present in American-English too, but «Movies» does not exist in British-English, even though everyone knows what it means and some people occasionaly do use it. It still sounds awkward and very obviously American when it’s used in British-English.

I am reading a short novel, Coyotes by Andrew Porter. Here is the paragraph where we meet the two words.

«I am curious,» he said. «you think you’d ever like to do something like this for a living?»(He is a father and a failed filmmaker)
«Like what?» I said.
«Like what I do.»
«You mean, make movies?»
«Films,» he said.
«Films.»
«Right.»
«I don’t know,» I said.
He laughed. «Well, I wouldn’t,» he said. «Not if you can help it.»

What I would like to hear your opinions about is that why the father differentiate the two words.

Like Fish I thought that one was British and the other American. However, I recently saw an episode of the Simpsons where Homer said «movies» and then corrected himself by saying «films» and rolling his eyes — which suggested to me that «film» in American English suggests something a bit more pretentious, or at least in some way a bit more «worthy» than your average cinema fodder. I’d also note that «movie» is heard more and more here — but I think that the effect can be the opposite of what I presume «film» can suggest to Americans. Whilst here «film» is the usual, unnuanced, word a «movie», for me, could only be some crowd-pleasing blockbuster. Not a thing of real artistic merit. That said, I can’t imagine using the word «movie» in normal conversation myself — so it’s not a concrete difference.

In a material sense they are the same, but the nuance is that «films» are more artistic (e.g., Fellini—sorry such an old example, I’m not a movie fan). «Movies» are comedies, Westerns, «popular» stuff.

I agree with fish. In NAE movie is the more commonly used word i.e. in casual conversations. Film is a bit more formal and is used in the film or motion picture industry. So in your context in NAE film sounds more legitimate and maybe prestigious.

I agree with timpeac. «Movie» is not part of my active vocabulary, but the word is used by some sections of the UK media, and not just the US-owned ones. In my usage, «film» is an across-the-board term.

I use movie in writing all the time but am still too self-conscious to actually say it out loud.

Hello everyone!
I would like to ask you what’s the difference between film and movie? Is the first one more British? I’m wondering if the second one is more common in America because my British English spell checker always underlines me this word.

the difference between film and movie?

There are many common nouns used for this including, pictures, cinema. I always went to (watch/see) the pictures at at the cinema. These days I watch films on the box (TV). Movie is not in my normal usage.

All these words are/were in common use yonks back… Common parlance uses both.

GF..

Is one person’s answer statistically relevant?

PaulQ

I agree with Marc, who agrees with Fish… In BE, stick with «film».

Is cinema an English word?

It’s more common to say cinema in Britain than in the United States, but any English speaker will know what you’re talking about if you ask, «Want to go to the cinema?» You can also use cinema to talk about the film industry and its history: «This is my favorite film in all of American cinema.» The word was first used …

What do they call a movie theater in England?

It’s the Cinema, not the Movies

Up first is the linguistic usages. They don’t call them ‘movies’ in the UK – they call them films. They also don’t call it a movie theater, they call it a cinema. So, you go see a film at a cinema.

Why is it called movies?

The name «film» originates from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including picture, picture show, moving picture, photoplay, and flick.

What is the difference between movies and cinema?

Movies is slang for a motion picture. … Cinema is from the French cinématographe which comes in part from the greek kinema, meaning movement. So, cinema is really just another word meaning moving picture. It also has come to mean more generally the process of film-making and also the building where films are shown.

В том, что смотреть фильмы на английском полезно для изучения языка, сомневаться не приходится, но если вы хотите обсудить кино с иностранным другом или почитать что-то о фильмах на англоязычных сайтах, придется освоить специальную лексику. Из этой подборки вы узнаете, как называются жанры кино на английском, общие термины, связанные с кинопроизводством, а также слова, которые пригодятся при обсуждении фильма.

Английские слова на тему «Кино»: общая лексика.

Слова и выражения о кино — это один из слоев лексики, в которые проникло много заимствований из других языков. Нередко их можно заменить русскоязычными аналогами, но этого не делают, особенно в профессиональной среде, для экономии времени и простоты выражения мыслей. Как известно, язык всегда стремится к простоте.

Например, вместо «сеттинг» можно сказать «место и время действия», но слово «сеттинг» просто короче. Некоторые слова иностранного происхождения уже прочно вошли в русский язык и не воспринимаются как иностранные, например: актер, монтаж, жанр, вестерн.

Жанры кино на английском языке

Ниже приведены общие названия жанров кино на английском языке. Эти слова не всегда используются в чистом виде. При описании фильмов могут встретиться также поджанры и смешанные жанры. Например, жанр action-adventure (приключенческий боевик) или поджанр фильмов о любви (romance) — романтическая комедия (romantic comedie).

Кинопроизводство

Фильм — это результат долгой и слаженной работы большого коллектива профессионалов, производственный цикл фильма делится на основные этапы:

Проектирование (development) — создается проект фильма, сценарий, согласуются основные финансовые вопросы.
Предварительная подготовка (pre-production) — формируется съемочная группа, подбираются актеры, планируются съемки.
Съемки (production) — собственно, снимается фильм.
Пост-производство (post-production) — монтаж, звук, спецэффекты.
Распространение (sale) — то, ради чего все и делается. Бывают случаи, когда именно на этом этапе из-за плохого маркетинга «запарывается» отличный проект.

Чаще всего говорят о этапах pre-production, production и postproduction. Хоть для этих терминов и есть русскоязычные эквиваленты «предварительная подготовка», «съемки» и «пост-производство», но довольно часто говорят просто «препродакшн», «продакшн» и «постпродакшн».

Подобная история со словами sequel, prequel, spin-off, которые можно перевести как предыстория, продолжение и ответвление, но чаще для простоты и удобства мы говорим «сиквел», «приквел» и «спин офф».

What are the differences between going to «the movies», «the cinema», and «the theater/theatre» (ignoring the fact that theaters are also for plays and not just movies)?

Personally, «movies» sounds more American to me, and «cinema» sounds more British, but I really have no idea, it’s just a guess, I have no idea.

Movies is slang for a motion picture. Film is the medium on which motion pictures are fixed. Cinema is from the French cinématographe which comes in part from the greek kinema, meaning movement. So cinema is really just another word meaning moving picture. It also has come to mean more generally the process of film-making and also the building where films are shown. Theater is similar to cinema, in that it can mean the building, or more generally the industry of live performance (i.e. plays, musicals, etc).

Film, movies, and pictures are used interchangeably:

I saw a film. I saw a movie. I saw a
picture.

In context, the theater is the building where movies are shown, but usually people would specify the movie theater to avoid confusion with the live theater.

«Movies» and it’s short-lived companion «talkies» describe in a very simplistic way, what it going on on the screen. Things are moving: movies. People are talking: talkies.

Movies and pictures can be used interchangeably:

I’m going to the movies/pictures.

But pictures is mainly a UK expression.

I don’t know about US, but mostly in UK we go to the cinema to watch a film on the big screen. Sometimes you still hear pictures, or flicks, but they’re getting a bit dated. I don’t think many people would say they went to the theatre without adding something to indicate this was to see a film, since by default it would be assumed the entertainment was something with live performers on stage.

I think we’re less likely than Americans to say, for example, Most Friday nights I go to the movies. In the cause of lingustic globalisation we do go to see a movie, but not so often as we watch a film (but of course, you can also do that at home — in your home cinema if you’ve got one).

Movie/movies is an American word. Theater is the American spelling of theatre. From my experiences as a British person, I can tell you about this.

Americans talk about watching “movies”, going to “the movies”, or watching them in a “movie theater” — which they also abbreviate as just a “theater”.

British people talk about watching “films” or going to “the cinema”. For British people, a theatre (which is the British spelling as opposed to the American spelling) is somewhere to watch a play on stage. It can include musicals. It has this meaning only.

However, in very recent years, the word movie has slowly started to be used here in the UK as well. It is not widespread, but is used by some British people, mainly radio and TV presenters.

«The movies» is chiefly American.
«The cinema» is chiefly British.
«Theater/theatre» is said of places where plays are shown, however if you modify it to «movie theater» then you have a theater where films are shown. «Movie house» can also be used.

The following observations from the UK are from my youth, 40 or 50 years ago. To some degree they still hold, but US expressions are more familiar now than they were then:

The field or subject of cinematography: «cinema» or «film».

An individual creation: «a film». («a movie» and «a picture» would be deliberate Americanisms)

The building: «a cinema» (never «a theatre»)

What you go out to: «the cinema», «the pictures», «the flicks» (in increasing order of informality.

Не секрет, что американский английский отличается от истинного, британского. Если в Англии мы пойдем в shop, то в Америке это уже будет store. Конечно, вас поймут, если вы используете «неродное» слово для этого региона. Но если вы знаете американские аналоги английских слов, то вы будете намного быстрее пониматься все вокруг и отлично ориентироваться на местности.
