To night in Town

 

Generative artificial intelligence, also known as generative AI or GenAI, is a subfield of artificial intelligence that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
The prevalence of generative AI tools has increased significantly since the AI boom in the 2020s. This boom was made possible by improvements in deep neural networks, particularly large language models (LLMs), which are based on the transformer architecture.

Olympics history

 
 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. 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. Sources disagree on the first sports film. Short reels depicting unscripted matches were publicly shown as early as 1894, while scripted shorts depicting sports were shown by the end of the decade. The first feature-length sports films would not come until later. Many of the earliest sports films are considered lost.

 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.

Sacred Cow

 

It [the movie art form] combines so many other art forms, as do theater and opera, but the essence of cinema is editing. It's the combination of what can be extraordinary images, images of people during emotional moments, or just images in a general sense, but put together in a kind of alchemy. A number of images put together a certain way become something quite above and beyond what any of them are individually.

Move around music

 

 
 Videomixage by antonwithagen

While musical short films were popular as soon as recorded sound was introduced to theatrical film screenings in the 1920s, promotional music videos started becoming popular into the 1960s and the music video rose to prominence in the 1980s when American TV channel MTV based its format around the medium. Music videos use a wide range of styles and contemporary video-making techniques, including animation, live-action, documentary, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Combining these styles and techniques has become more popular due to the variety for the audience. Many music videos interpret images and scenes from the song's lyrics, while others take a more thematic approach.

For Ever Fun

 

 
 Many theories exist about what humour is and what social function it serves. The prevailing types of theories attempting to account for the existence of humour include psychological theories, the vast majority of which consider humour-induced behaviour to be very healthy. The benign-violation theory,attempts to explain humour's existence. The theory says "humour only occurs when something seems wrong, unsettling, or threatening, but simultaneously seems okay, acceptable or safe." Humour can be used as a method to easily engage in social interaction by taking away that awkward, uncomfortable, or uneasy feeling of social interactions.

Picasso Art

 

 
 In filmmaking, video production, animation, and related fields, a frame is one of the many still images which compose the complete moving picture. The term is derived from the historical development of film stock, in which the sequentially recorded single images look like a framed picture when examined individually. The term may also be used more generally as a noun or verb to refer to the edges of the image as seen in a camera viewfinder or projected on a screen. Thus, the camera operator can be said to keep a car in frame by panning with it as it speeds past

Back to the future (music)

 

 
 A soundtrack is the music of a movie, TV series or computer game. In the case of film music, the music album is often released in the same period as the film in question premieres. Sometimes such a soundtrack also contains one or two songs that become a hit and make extra advertising for the movie or game. Originally, the soundtrack was the sound track of a movie, with the dialogues, the background sounds, the sound effects and the film music.

Pigeon search

 

 
 What has now become a feature film began five years ago as an idea during the coronavirus pandemic. Lisanne was only ten years old when she started writing. "Each time, a better version of the script emerged," she says. "I really started working on it seriously when I was thirteen." "The ending of the film is truly moving." "Duivinder" tells the story of two children who want to help their lonely grandfather after the loss of his grandmother. They try to find a new love for him through pigeon racing. The idea arose when Lisanne saw elderly people feeling lonely during the pandemic. "I saw many elderly people who feel lonely," she says. "They attach great value to their pets, just like I do." Lisanne herself is crazy about racing pigeons. Her own pigeon, Dik, even plays a small role.

Filming with miniatures


 
 The use of scale models in the creation of visual effects by the entertainment industry dates back to the earliest days of cinema. Models and miniatures are copies of people, animals, buildings, settings, and objects. Miniatures or models are used to represent things that do not really exist, or that are too expensive or difficult to film in reality, such as explosions, floods, or fires.

Dreamtime

 

 
 The human dream experience and what to make of it has undergone sizable shifts over the course of history. Long ago, according to writings from Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, dreams dictated post-dream behaviors to an extent that was sharply reduced in later millennia.These ancient writings about dreams highlight visitation dreams, where a dream figure, usually a deity or a prominent forebear, commands the dreamer to take specific actions, and which may predict future events

Most beautiful shots in film

 

 
 Cinema, as an artistic language defined by a distortion of perception and fabrication of reality, was a natural attraction for the avant-garde art of the 20th century. Inspired by early Dada experimental films and the feverish works of German Expressionism, film allowed the surrealists to create pure, tangible dreams. Though there aren’t that many de facto surrealist films, surrealism was formative to cinema history when the medium was still quite young. Denying logic, narrative, and even meaning, surrealist cinema opened pathways as to what a movie could be and pushed the audiovisual language to its farther boundaries. We’re going to look at a few of these bold surrealist films, as well as some movies that were influenced by surrealism over the last one hundred years.

Life at the castle

 

 
 Live-action is a film and video technique that uses real people, animals or objects instead of animation or drawn images. These images are filmed in real locations and show realistic actions. The term is often used in contrast to animation, as in Disney's live-action remakes.

A.I. filmillutions

 

 
 An illusion is an apparent reality or a misinterpretation of reality. The image that a person has of reality is based on his perceptions through the senses and processing of these signals in the brain. Illusions are therefore based on erroneous perceptions of real external stimuli, as opposed to hallucinations. Illusions cannot exist without sensory perception, they are a wrong interpretation of them. Dreams and hallucinations are perceptions without an external stimulus underlying them. They are only apparently coming from a sense. Drugs can also cause hallucinations. A dream is actually a kind of processing of visual images by the brain

 A film format is a technical definition of a set of standard characteristics regarding image capture on photographic film for still images or film stock for filmmaking. In the case of motion picture film, the format sometimes includes audio parameters. Other characteristics usually include the film gauge, pulldown method, lens anamorphosis (or lack thereof), and film gate or projector aperture dimensions, all of which need to be defined for photography as well as projection, as they may differ.

 Actuality film is a non-fiction film genre that uses footage of real events, places, and things (essentially B-roll), a predecessor to documentary film. Unlike documentaries, actuality films are not structured into a larger narrative or coherent whole. During the era of early cinema, actualities—usually lasting no more than a minute or two and usually assembled together into a program by an exhibitor—were just as popular and prominent as their fictional counterparts

 Much comedy contains variations on the elements of surprise, incongruity, conflict, repetitiveness, and the effect of opposite expectations, but there are many recognized genres of comedy. Satire and political satire use ironic comedy used to portray persons or social institutions as ridiculous or corrupt, thus alienating their audience from the object of humor
