What makes up each picture?
Each picture (or frame) in a video is made of tiny colored dots called pixels. Think of them like little colored blocks that make up a bigger image.
If you zoom in on a video, you can see these pixels, just like looking at a mosaic made of small tiles.
How do the pictures come together?
A video is actually a long line of these frames. When they play one after another, your eyes follow the action, it’s like flipping through pages of a comic book really fast!
Each frame has color and movement, and all of them work together to make the full video feel smooth and real.
So, videos are just lots of pictures working together, and you can watch them on a screen, just like watching a magic show without any real magic!
