Live action refers to a filmmaking technique that uses real actors and physical settings instead of animation or computer-generated imagery. This approach captures performances in real time, allowing for a more authentic portrayal of characters and stories. Live action can be found in various genres, including drama, comedy, and action films. In live action productions, filmmakers often utilize locations, props, and costumes to create a believable environment. Popular examples of live action include movies like The Lion King (2019) and Harry Potter series, which blend real performances with visual effects to enhance storytelling while maintaining a tangible connection to reality.
