16 mm film is a historically popular and economical gauge of film. 16 mm refers to the width of the film (about 2⁄3 inch) It also existed as a popular amateur or home movie-making format for several decades, alongside 8 mm film and later Super 8 film. Eastman Kodak released the first 16 mm "outfit" in 1923, consisting of a Ciné-Kodak camera, Kodascope projector, tripod, screen and splicer, for US$335 

 

Funfair today

 

 

 

Film was seen as a pure fairground attraction at the time. People were entertained, often to their great horror, with approaching trains, short comedy films and other material under the motto: as long as it moves. Explanations were given by an explainer. This man told the story with the images (often made up by himself) and was accompanied by a pianist or violinist. In the early days of cinematography, the films were never longer than 20 to 30 seconds.

 An art film, art cinema, or arthouse film is typically an independent film, aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience. It is "intended to be a serious, artistic work, often experimental and not designed for mass appeal", "made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit", and containing "unconventional or highly symbolic content".

Spinoza

 

 

In his most important book – Ethics – Spinoza tries to answer the question of how someone can live a happy life. The answer seems simple. To live a good life, we must think. According to Spinoza, we must therefore acquire knowledge, follow our reason, and not be carried away by emotions. This idea contradicts things like tradition and religion. Because this is very important in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, he receives a lot of criticism. In addition, according to Spinoza, God is not a supernatural being, but coincides with nature. Everything that happens has a natural explanation, says Spinoza. There are no miracles.

 Use of film remained the dominant form of cinematography until the early 21st century when digital formats supplanted the use of film in many applications. This has also led to the replacement of film projectors with digital projection. Despite this, some filmmakers continue to opt for film stock as a medium of choice for aesthetic reasons. Movies produced entirely on photochemical film or with a combination of analog and digital methods are a minority, but maintain a stable presence among both arthouse and mainstream film releases. However, digital formats are sometimes deliberately altered to achieve a film look, such as adding film grain or other noise for artistic effect.

11/11 happening

>11/11 originates from poverty. In the Middle Ages, people also fasted before Christmas, but then out of poverty, because the meat from November (the slaughter month) had to be kept until Christmas and they started with that on November 12. The day before, the non-perishable products were quickly decorated festively. It was already a holiday at the time; namely St. Martin's Day. St. Martin's Day marks the dark period before Christmas. Forty days after the eleventh of the eleventh is December 21, the shortest day of the year. At the end of the St. Martin's Day celebration, St. Martin's Day fasting began. Just as carnival precedes the Lent before Easter, St. Martin's Day precedes the preparation for Christmas.

Continuity editing uses a guideline called the "30-degree rule" to avoid the appearance of jump cuts. The 30-degree rule advises that for consecutive shots to appear seamless and continuous in time, the camera position must vary at least 30 degrees from its previous position. Some schools would call for a change in framing as well (e.g., from a medium shot to a close up). The idea is to convey to the viewer a different point of view on the action but with the timeline of the action being continuous. Generally, if the camera position changes less than 30 degrees, the difference between the two shots is not substantial enough, and the viewer experiences the edit as a jump in the position of the subject rather than a change of point of view, which is jarring.

Stichting Social Film was founded by Jesse van Venrooij based on the conviction that documentaries and other audiovisual productions can contribute to a broader view of the world. Jesse worked as a social worker for almost ten years. In addition, he built up his company FilmMoment where, in addition to paid film assignments, he also worked on socially relevant documentaries. It was time to combine the insights from social work and his experience as a documentary filmmaker in a foundation; with the aim of making an even greater and sustainable positive impact on society. In the spring of 2021, the five board members met for the first time. An expert club of professionals from various sectors and with roots in Tilburg. From the very beginning, documentary filmmaker Eline van der Kaa has also been actively involved in setting up and shaping Stichting Social Film.

;A television film, alternatively known as a television movie, made-for-TV film/movie, telefilm, telemovie or TV film/movie, is a feature-length film that is produced and originally distributed by or to a television network, in contrast to theatrical films made for initial showing in movie theaters, and direct-to-video films made for initial release on home video formats. In certain cases, such films may also be referred to and shown as a miniseries, which typically indicates a film that has been divided into multiple parts or a series that contains a predetermined, limited number of episodes.

Monastery

the beginning in the Netherlands Monastic life in the Netherlands began in the fifth century with wandering monks: missionaries who brought the Christian faith here. The first monasteries were founded around 700 by Saint Willibrord in Maastricht, Utrecht and Susteren (a town in Limburg). Early medieval monasteries followed the rule of Benedict. The residents belonged to the small number of people who could read and write. Monks contributed to the development of land and to the development of agriculture and livestock farming.

A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up". High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects. In film, they can make the scene more dramatic. If there is a person at high elevation who is talking to someone below them, this shot is often used. The height required for this shot is low enough to be achieved without flight, thus distinguishing it from a bird's-eye view.

A video tape recorder (VTR) is a tape recorder designed to record and playback video and audio material from magnetic tape. The early VTRs were open-reel devices that record on individual reels of 2-inch-wide (5.08 cm) tape. They were used in television studios, serving as a replacement for motion picture film stock and making recording for television applications cheaper and quicker. 

Beginning in 1963, videotape machines made instant replay during televised sporting events possible. Improved formats, in which the tape was contained inside a videocassette, were introduced around 1969; the machines which play them are called videocassette recorders.

>Europeans were the pioneers of the motion picture industry, with several innovative engineers and artists making an impact especially at the end of the 19th century. Louis Le Prince became famous for his 1888 Roundhay Garden Scene, the first known celluloid film recorded. The Skladanowsky brothers from Berlin used their "Bioscop" to amaze the Wintergarten theatre audience with the first film show ever, from 1 through 31 November 1895. The Lumière brothers established the Cinematograph; which initiated the silent film era, a period where European cinema was a major commercial success. It remained so until the art-hostile environment of World War II. These notable discoveries provide a glimpse of the power of early European cinema and its long-lasting influence on cinema today.

Filmmaking also takes place outside of the mainstream and is commonly called independent filmmaking. Since the introduction of DV technology, the means of production have become more democratized and economically viable. Filmmakers can conceivably shoot and edit a film, create and edit the sound and music, and mix the final cut on a home computer. 

However, while the means of production may be democratized, financing, traditional distribution, and marketing remain difficult to accomplish outside the traditional system

Double 8 spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge as normal 16 mm film; on its first pass through the camera, the film is exposed only along half of its width. When the first pass is complete, the operator opens the camera and flips and swaps the spools (the design of the spool hole ensures that the operator does this properly) and the same film is subsequently exposed along its other edge, the edge left unexposed on the first pass. After the film is developed, the processor splits it down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge. Each frame is half the width and half the height of a 16 mm frame, so there are four times the number of frames in a given film area, which is what makes it cost less. Because of the two passes of the film, the format was sometimes called Double 8. The frame size of regular 8 mm is 4.8 mm × 3.5 mm, and 1 meter of film contains 264 pictures. Normally, Double 8 is filmed at 16 or 18 frames per second.

 A trailer is a product of creative and technical work. Movie trailers have now become popular on DVDs and Blu-ray discs, as well as on the Internet, livestreaming and mobile devices. Of some 10 billion videos watched online annually, film trailers rank third, after news and user-created video.

 The trailer format has been adopted as a promotional tool for television shows, video games, books, and theatrical events/concerts.

Currently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate some realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback.

The traditional first part of the post-production process, non-linear (analog) film editing, has mostly been replaced by digital or video editing software, which operates as a non-linear editing (NLE) system. The advantage of non-linear editing is the ability to edit scenes out of order, thereby making creative changes at will. This flexibility facilitates carefully shaping the film in a thoughtful, meaningful way for emotional effect. Once the production team is satisfied with the picture editing, the editing is said to be locked. At this point the turnover process begins, in which the picture is prepared for lab and color finishing, and the sound is spotted and turned over to the composer and sound designers for sound design, composing, and sound mixing.

A story is a short sequence of images, videos, or other social media content, which can be accompanied by backgrounds, music, text, stickers, animations, filters or emojis. Social media platforms typically advance through the sequence automatically when presenting a story to a viewer. Although the sequential nature of stories can be used to tell a narrative, the pieces of a story can also be unrelated. Social media platforms that offer stories will typically have a primary story for each user which consists of everything the user posted to their story over a certain period of time, usually the most recent 24 hours. Most stories cannot be changed afterwards and are only available for a short time. Stories are almost exclusively created on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computer and are usually displayed vertically
