About cinema
The word "cinema" does not have a full form like some acronyms. It is derived from the term "cinematograph," which itself is a combination of two Greek words, "kínēma" (meaning "movement") and "gráphō" (meaning "I write" or "I record").
Cinematography is the illusion of movement by the recording and subsequent rapid projection of many still photographic pictures on a screen.
