प्रश्न
What connection does the author draw between filmmaking and conjuring?
उत्तर
The author says that filmmaking and Conjuring are of the same dice because both require the deception of a human eye. Most of the time the viewer is caught between the frames of a movie. Cause whatever emotion or situation is shown in it is false or enacted. But with the help of certain filming instruments, the film seems to be a real-life event and people express real emotions while watching it.
