What is the difference between a digital movie and a motion picture?

A motion picture is a story told with words, music and action, usually by actors. A digital movie is one way of distributing a motion picture. Initially all motion pictures were recorded, distributed and exhibited on film. Then it became possible to convert the many still images that make up a motion picture on film into a digital file that can be played by computers. Then motion pictures could be distributed on CDs and DVDs, which are digital recording media. But film was still being used to display a motion picture to large groups in theaters. More recently it has been possible to use digital cameras to record the actors telling the story, so now in addition to DVD distribution, the motion pictures can be displayed to large audience in theaters using digital technology.
