Film criticism is the analysis and evaluation of films and the film medium.

In general, film criticism can be divided into two categories: journalistic criticism found regularly in newspapers, magazines and other popular mass-media outlets; and academic criticism by film scholars who are informed by film theory and are published in academic journals.

A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon.

This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession.

The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry.

A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.

Media circus is a colloquial metaphor, or idiom, describing a news event where the level of media coverage - measured by such factors as the number of reporters at the scene and the amount of material broadcast or published - is perceived to be excessive or out of proportion to the event being covered.

Coverage that is sensationalistic can add to the perception the event is the subject of a media circus.

The term is meant to critique the coverage of the event by comparing it to the spectacle and pageantry of a circus.

Usage of the term in this sense became common in the 1970s.

It can also be called a media feeding frenzy or just media frenzy, especially when they cover the media coverage.
