Live action

Real Movie (English live action movie) called a movie or a television series that has living and real actors. The counterpart to the real film is the animated film or cartoon. From the cartoon, the live-action film differs in that processes events and actions in an image of the real or imaginary real world are initiated by photographically depicted real people playing and talking in front of the camera or staged.

The term live-action film is often used to distinguish cartoon series and their movie adaptations, such as The Flintstones or 101 Dalmatians; well in cinematic hybrid forms such as Mary Poppins or Roger Rabbit. Since the 1990s, a mixing of the stylistic animation or animated and live action increasingly took place, so computer-generated sequences in movies were mostly installed. Examples are matrix, Run Lola Run or Kill Bill. Even in semi-documentary films such as Bowling for Columbine or American Splendor Animation sequences can be used as an additional stylistic devices increasingly.
