The cinema created its own narrative with the help of the knowledge of pioneer art forms from the end of 19th century until today, and turned into one of the world’s most effective and important narrative arts. As one of the branches of fine arts, it also has the feature of being a commercially creative industry by its being able to reach a wide range of audience because of its audio-visual structure. The cinema, which carried the movement to screen with a technical invention, is a technological field that is developing day by day, which also reveals the cinema-industry relationship.
