Found footage 8mm

 

Found footage is a cinematic technique and film genre in which all or a substantial part of the work is presented as if it were film or video recordings recorded by characters in the story, and later "found" and presented to the audience. The events on screen are typically seen through the camera of one or more of the characters involved, often accompanied by their real-time off-camera commentary. For added realism, the cinematography may be done by the actors themselves as they perform, and shaky camera work, improvisation and naturalistic acting are routinely employed. The footage may be presented as if it were "raw" and complete or as if it had been edited into a narrative by those who "found" it.

Camera's: all over

 

 

 The deployment of this technology has facilitated significant growth in state surveillance, a substantial rise in the methods of advanced social monitoring and control, and a host of crime prevention measures throughout the world. Though surveillance of the public using CCTV cameras is common in many areas around the world, video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public

. A lot of shots, made in haphazard fashion, fail to hold the interest. A good scenic is as difficult to create, edit and cut as a dramatic story. Perhaps more so. The outstanding point of merit in almost all the contest films is the photography. Amateurs are getting some amazing effects, particularly with their sixteen millimeter cameras. Fade-outs, dissolves, moving camera effects, angle shots and striking shadow effects predominate. Amateurs know their cameras.

Wildhorses

 

 

Nature documentaries have been criticized for leaving viewers with the impression that wild animals survived and thrived after encounters with predators, even when they sustain potentially life-threatening injuries. They also cut away from particularly violent encounters, or attempt to downplay the suffering endured by the individual animal, by appealing to concepts such as the "balance of nature" and "the good of the herd".

Slander is the bad talk about another. Specifically, it refers to lying slanderer that aims to harm someone in his honor, his good name or his prestige to others. There is then character murder.

Nostalgia: early sound

 

2000: Introduction of the USB stick, with the first version containing 8 MB of memory. The MP3 player makes its debut. This effectively renders the physical audio medium obsolete, as the music is stored within the device itself rather than on a separate audio medium. 2001: Apple launches the first iPod media player. These feature a hard drive and can store much more data than the MP3 players of that era. 2006: Sony releases the last MiniDisc device to date. 2008: Sony and EMI announce they will cease production of CD singles in the coming year. 

 The Future Because the music industry was late in realizing that the future of the audio medium lies in downloading or streaming music, it has suffered significant losses and fallen behind in recent years. MP3 files, in particular, are widely available on the internet. It is expected that in the coming years, the physical audio medium as we know it today will be further displaced by these online technologies.

 Film theory is a set of scholarly approaches within the academic discipline of film or cinema studies that began in the 1920s by questioning the formal essential attributes of motion pictures; and that now provides conceptual frameworks for understanding film's relationship to reality, the other arts, individual viewers, and society at large

Dutch Light

'HOLLANDS LICHT is a documentary film about myth and reality of Dutch light. A film about light that has become famous thanks to painting. This can be found in the painted landscapes of painters such as Van Goyen and Van Ruisdael, in interiors and still lifes by Vermeer, Saenredam and Heda, and later in the work of artists such as Weissenbruch, Roelofs, Gabriël and Mondriaan. The myth is deeply rooted and wants light and perception to be the basis of a visual culture that is said to have emerged in the 17th century. But according to the German artist Joseph Beuys, that culture of looking would have come to an end in the middle of the 20th century. But is it????.
