Sound effects (or audio effects) are artificially created or enhanced sounds, or sound processes used to emphasize artistic or other content of films, television shows, live performance, animation, video games, music, or other media. In motion picture and television production, a sound effect is a sound recorded and presented to make a specific storytelling or creative point without the use of dialogue or music. Dialogue and music recordings are never referred to as sound effects, even though the processes applied to them, such as reverberation or flanging effects, often are called "sound effects.

1977 Santa


Amateur films were usually shot on 16 mm film or on 8 mm film (Either Double-8 or Super-8) until the advent of cheap video cameras or digital equipment. The advent of digital video and computer based editing programs greatly expanded the technical quality achievable by the amateur and low-budget filmmaker. Amateur video has now become the choice for the low-budget filmmaker and has boomed into a very watched and even produced industry with the usage of VHS and DVD Digital Video camcorders.

360 degrees camera

Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio. While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama

The Film Heritage department of the Swedish Film Institute in Stockholm has its origins in the foundation of the Swedish Film Society, which was established as early as in 1933, thus making our archive one of the oldest in the world. The collections of the Film Society gained an independent status in 1940, and joined FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives) in 1946. The collections were handed over to the newly established Swedish Film Institute (SFI) in March, 1964. The Film Heritage department, functioning as the national film archive of Sweden, is made up of the Archival Film Collections, the Library (including Stills and Poster Archive), and the SFI Grängesberg Archive for non-professional, non-fiction films.
The Swedish Government assigned the Archival Film Collections of the SFI a mission to acquire, catalogue, preserve and give access to the Swedish film heritage, which is defined as all films that have been shown in theatres. This definition includes Swedish and foreign films, features and shorts, fiction and non-fiction, animation, news-reels, commercials and trailers.

A costume drama or period drama is a period piece in which elaborate costumes, sets and properties are featured in order to capture the ambience of a particular era.

The term is usually used in the context of film and television. It is an informal crossover term that can apply to several genres but is most often heard in the context of historical dramas and romances, adventure films and swashbucklers. The implication is that the audience is attracted as much by the lavish costumes as by the content.

Paul Verhoeven .s HUNK


Spetters is a Dutch film released in 1980 directed by Paul Verhoeven.
Spetters led to protests about the manner in which Verhoeven portrayed gays, Christians, the police, and the press. Although Verhoeven made one more film in the Netherlands, the response to Spetters led him to leave for Hollywood. Despite the large amount of controversy surrounding it, the film proved to be popular with 1,124,162 admissions in the Netherlands alone.
The film, which is violent and sexually graphic, is a high-speed coming of age story which centers on three young men dreaming of an escape from their provincial surroundings by means of a motocross career: young motocross racing champion Rien , another racer who thinks he has the goods, Hans and the son of a Bible thumping Calvinist, the mechanic Eef . Their only escapes are alcohol, drugs, and weekend visits to a local disco nightclub.
The word "spetter" (plural: "spetters") is a (now outdated) word with the same meaning as the English word "hunk". It also means "splatters" and thereby refers to the chips stall where Soutendijk's character works, when she lowers the chips into the frying pan.
