Sometimes, independent films are made with considerably lower budgets than major studio films

Cruyff: the goals

 

 

 A sports film is a film genre in which any particular sport plays a prominent role in the film's plot or acts as its central theme. It is a production in which a sport or a sports-related topic is prominently featured or is a focus of the plot. Despite this, sport is ultimately rarely the central concern of such films and sport performs primarily an allegorical role.[1] Furthermore, sports fans are not necessarily the target demographic in such movies, but sports fans tend to maintain a high following and esteem for such movies.

Fantasy films are films that belong to the fantasy genre with fantastic themes, usually magic, supernatural events, mythology, folklore, or exotic fantasy worlds. The genre is considered a form of speculative fiction alongside science fiction films and horror films, although the genres do overlap. Fantasy films often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, escapism, and the extraordinary.

History of the car

 

 

 The first company to focus exclusively on the production of cars was the French Panhard et Levassor in 1889. They were quickly followed by Peugeot 2 years later. In the United States, Duryea was the first in 1892. The Benz Velo and the Duryea Motor Wagon are seen as the first standardized cars. This gave birth to the car industry. In a few years, hundreds of producers were founded to build steam cars, electric cars and fuel cars. Around the turn of the century, there were more than a thousand factories in the Alsace region alone, between Germany and France, engaged in the production of cars.

 

Steam Again

 

 

 In the film industry, a "first-look deal" is an agreement where a writer and an independent production company—or a production company and a film studio—arrange for the potential buyer (usually a producer or studio) to pay a development fee in exchange for the exclusive right to preview a script or project in development before it’s shown to others. This gives the buyer the first opportunity to purchase, distribute, or move forward with pre-agreed terms

Metropolis coloured

 

 

 Undeniably one of the great operatic epics yet made, "Metropolis" is Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction film, revered for its special effects and inventive montages. Metropolis has influenced just about every major movie that has come after it. Among those who have quoted it: Tim Burton, Bong Joon-Ho, Stanley Kubrick, and Guillermo del Toro. Metropolis is about a futuristic city that's divided by a glitzy, rich upper-class world and a brutal lower-class society of machine-workers. It's a parable of social and economic divides. Can these divides be resolved by politics, religious faith, science, or something else? The movie is going to ask and try to answer that question!

 A film screening is the displaying of a motion picture or film, generally referring to a special showing as part of a film's production and release cycle. To show the film to best advantage, special screenings may take place in plush, low seat-count theaters with very high quality (sometimes especially certified) projection and sound equipment, and can be accompanied by food and drink and spoken remarks by producers, writers, or actors. Special screenings typically occur outside normal theatrical showing hours. The different types of screenings are presented here in their order within a film's development.

Gerrit van Dijk animator

 

 

 Gerrit van Dijk studied as a fifteen-year-old boy at the academy in Tilburg. He was not very satisfied about the school. "You only learn technique. The creativity you learn is no creativity at all. You know exactly what colour socks you should wear and what your hair should look like, but not how to put something on paper." After finishing his study, he initially became a teacher. His painting career ended abruptly when he saw Norman McLaren's films and bought a double-eight camera. He made his first film It's Good in Heaven, seeing his shift to film as a logical continuation of his work as a painter, and considered his films moving paintings. Over time, Dijk moved away from classic filmmaking, instead creating collages combining photographs and image-by-image technique. He also experimented with various techniques, including cels, cut-outs, rotoscope, pixilation, and live action combined with animation. I move, so I am

 

Letters of Van Gogh

 

 

 Vincent van Gogh was an avid letter writer. He had a great need to share his ideas and feelings. After he and his siblings had left home, they wrote to each other and their parents regularly. Many of Vincent's letters were preserved, and sometimes the answers to them. The correspondence consists of a total of 903 letters, of which 820 from Van Gogh and 83 to him. Most of the letters are addressed to his brother Theo, his best friend and confidant. Theo kept Vincent's letters carefully. Vincent was less precise – many letters were thrown away or burned by him. Van Gogh wrote many more letters, in total he probably wrote more than 2,000. We can calculate that based on comments in the letters such as 'I wrote to today...', and 'I just received a letter from...'.

Nigerians

 

 

 Filmmaking in Colonial Nigeria generally refers to an era in Nigerian cinema, usually spanning the 1900s through to the 1950s, when film production and exhibition or distribution were controlled by the British colonial Government. The history of cinema in Nigeria dates back to as early as the history of film itself; notably in the late 19th century, with the use of peephole viewing of motion picture devices. These were soon replaced in the early 20th century with improved motion picture exhibition devices, with the first set of films screened at the Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos from 12 to 22 August 1903.

 Digital recording and reproduction converts the analog sound signal picked up by the microphone to a digital form by the process of sampling. This lets the audio data be stored and transmitted by a wider variety of media. Digital recording stores audio as a series of binary numbers (zeros and ones) representing samples of the amplitude of the audio signal at equal time intervals, at a sample rate high enough to convey all sounds capable of being heard. A digital audio signal must be reconverted to analog form during playback before it is amplified and connected to a loudspeaker to produce sound

Jaques Tati

 

 

 Tati as director 

In early 1946, Jacques Tati and Fred Orain founded the production company Cady-Films, which would produce Tati's first three films. With the exception of his first and last films, Tati played the gauche and socially inept lead character, Monsieur Hulot. With his trademark raincoat, umbrella and pipe, Hulot is among the most memorable comic characters in cinema. Several themes recur in Tati's work, most notably in Mon Oncle, Playtime, and Trafic. They include Western society's obsession with material goods, particularly American-style consumerism, the pressure-cooker environment of modern society, the superficiality of relationships among France's various social classes, and the cold and often impractical nature of space-age technology and design.

Technicolor is a family of color motion picture processes. The first version, Process 1, was introduced in 1916, and improved versions followed over several decades.

Definitive Technicolor movies using three black-and-white films running through a special camera (Three-strip Technicolor or Process 4) started in the early 1930s and continued through to the mid-1950s, when the three-strip camera was replaced by a standard camera loaded with single-strip "monopack" color negative film. Technicolor Laboratories were still able to produce Technicolor prints by creating three black-and-white matrices from the Eastmancolor negative (Process 5).
