Is movies or eyeglasses examples of applied science?

Answer 1

Eyeglasses are a more immediate example of applied science - in this case applying the sciences of optics (light passing through the lens is bent) and physiology (determining what the defects in the lens of the eye are that need the lens of the eyeglasses to correct).

Movies are a combination of many, many scientific principles which are pulled together and applied to create the movie. The lighting is one are, the recording of the sound is another. The digital manipulations of the signals is another. Film cameras use optics, chemistry, and mechanics - not to mention electronic components. The costumes use mechanics for the weaving of the fabrics and chemistry for the dyes. The list goes on and on.
