Morphology
motion-picture + film
The noun is compositional: 'motion-picture' (moving image) modifies 'film' (photographic strip), so the overall meaning 'film used to record moving images' is directly derivable from the parts. This follows a common noun-modifier pattern and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would understand it.
Etymology
Motion-picture film comes from bringing together motion, picture, and film. It names the long strip of photographic material with many tiny pictures that, when moved quickly in a camera or projector, look like 'moving images', so the name refers to the strip used to record movies.
