Clapboard. It is used to record on camera the scene and take as well as to create and audio/visual synch point. That's why it is snapped shut, to make an audio and visual reference.

That's the action board. Every movie is shot in a series of scenes and each is numbered. When they do a scene over, it's "take two" or "take three" or however many it takes to get it right. So much of the incredible talent of putting a movie together is in the editing room where they put all the scenes together into a seamless story.

Its called a "clap board" and is used to mark where to synchronize the sound. They are now much more sophisticated and can be digitally linked to computers that keep track of all kinds of information.
