Boats building

 

 

pre-production process for selecting a certain type of actor, dancer, singer, or extra to land the role of a character in a script, screenplay, or teleplay. This process may be used for a motion picture, television program, documentary film, music video, play, or advertisement intended for an audience.

VOC ships

 

 

 From the year the VOC was founded in 1602 until 1700, an estimated 317,000 people of international descent sailed on VOC vessels. Between 1700 and 1795, this number amounted to approximately 655,000 sailors. Of these, roughly one in three sailors returned. Some remained in the Dutch East Indies. Due to diseases (such as scurvy), epidemics, shipwrecks, and hostilities, an estimated 5 to 10 percent of all crew members died on the outward or return 

voyage.

Early photographs in the late 19th and early to mid 20th centuries were often developed in black and white, as an alternative to sepia due to limitations in film available at the time. Black and white was also prevalent in early television broadcasts, which were displayed by changing the intensity of monochrome phosphurs on the inside of the screen, before the introduction of colour from the 1950s onwards. 

Black and white continues to be used in certain sections of the modern arts field, either stylistically or to invoke the perception of a historic work or setting.

Monique vd Ven

 

 

 Van de Ven's film debut as an actress was in the Paul Verhoeven film Turkish Delight in 1973. This film was an immediate breakthrough for her acting career. It was nominated for an Academy Award and was chosen as the best Dutch film of the century. Thirteen years later, she starred in The Assault, which won the 1986 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Apart from acting in feature films, she also performs in Dutch television series and commercials.

Labubu insanity

"Labubu craze" refers to the global hype surrounding toy figures of the character Labubu, a sharp-toothed "elf" with a mischievous smile, which gained popularity primarily through the influence of social media and sales in blind box packaging. The trend, which originated in Asia and also spread to the Netherlands, led to significant attention on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and significant growth for the company that produces the figures, Pop Mart.

Drawing heavily from the theories of literary-genre criticism, film genres are usually delineated by "conventions, iconography, settings, narratives, characters and actors". One can also classify films by the tone, theme/topic, mood, format, target audience, or budget. These characteristics are most evident in genre films, which are "commercial feature films [that], through repetition and variation, tell familiar stories with familiar characters and familiar situations" in a given genre.

The action film is a film genre that predominantly features chase sequences, fights, shootouts, explosions, and stunt work. The specifics of what constitutes an action film has been in scholarly debate since the 1980s. While some scholars such as David Bordwell suggested they were films that favor spectacle to storytelling, others such as Geoff King stated they allow the scenes of spectacle to be attuned to storytelling

Alex van Warmerdam

 

Van Warmerdam has further developed into an established filmmaker with a recognizable signature of alienation, dark humor, and picturesque design. Characteristically, the filmmaker also acts in most of his films. Another idiosyncratic characteristic is that Van Warmerdam often chooses not to film in existing locations, but to design and build his cinemas himself.

Editing examples

 

Editing is one of the most important tools a filmmaker has to express themselves and/or tell a story. Existing images can take on a completely different meaning through editing—the way they are placed together or "arranged"—for example, by allowing the images to flow smoothly together, or by creating excessive contrast, effectively determines the viewer's final feeling once the film is finished. A key element of editing is sound (music, background noise, speech). This allows for different versions of the same images to be told. Sound can enhance the impact of the images.

Killing your darlings

 

The expression "Kill your darlings" is often attributed to British author Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, who advised, in a lecture series on style and writing, to "Murder your darlings." This advice simply means that as a writer, you sometimes have to say goodbye to beloved sentences, characters, or passages if they don't contribute to the overall impact. This term was later popularized by writers like William Faulkner and Stephen King, who emphasized the importance of critically examining your own work and eliminating unnecessary elements, no matter how beautiful they may be.

Chronophotography is a photographic technique from the Victorian era which captures a number of phases of movements. The best known chronophotography works were mostly intended for the scientific study of locomotion, to discover practical information for animal handlers and/or as reference material for artists. Although many results were not intended to be exhibited as moving pictures, there is much overlap with the more or less simultaneous quest to register and exhibit photographic motion pictures.

The film industry or motion picture industry comprises the technological and commercial institutions of filmmaking, i.e., film production companies, film studios, cinematography, animation, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post-production, film festivals, distribution, and actors. Though the expense involved in making film almost immediately led film production to concentrate under the auspices of standing production companies, advances in affordable filmmaking equipment, as well as an expansion of opportunities to acquire investment capital from outside the film industry itself, have allowed independent film production to evolve.

Collage made from photographs, or parts of photographs, is called photomontage. Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. The same method is accomplished today using image-editing software. The technique is referred to by professionals as compositing.

Dance demos

 

Dance moves or dance steps (more complex dance moves are called dance patterns, dance figures, dance movements, or dance variations) are usually isolated, defined, and organized so that beginning dancers can learn and use them independently of each other. However, more complex movements are influenced by musicality and lyrical relevance to express emotions or refer to a message. Dance moves tend to emphasize the concepts of lead and follow and connection. In most cases, dance moves by themselves are independent of musicality, which is the appropriateness of a move to the music (for a notable exception, see Bharatanatyam). Generally, they are memorized in sets of eight counts. Also there are two different movements: concrete and abstract. These two movements show time, space, relationship, quality and focus. For example, relationship could describe the movement of two or more different dancers. The names of moves may be somewhat arbitrary and vary from person to person and city to city.

RIP Rob Houwer

 Upon his return to the Netherlands in 1971, he frequently collaborated with Paul Verhoeven and produced most of his Dutch films. Turkish Delight (1973), based on the novel by Jan Wolkers, became the most frequently visited film in Dutch cinema and still holds that place today. In 1973, Turkish Delight was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the 46th Academy Awards. Soldier of Orange received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Film in 1979

] and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.

Authenticity

 

  Modern art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the styles and philosophies of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency away from the narrative, which was characteristic of the traditional arts, toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art. More recent artistic production is often called contemporary art or Postmodern art.

 Many artistic disciplines such as performing arts, conceptual art, and textile arts, also involve aspects of the visual arts, as well as arts of other types. Within the visual arts, the applied arts, such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design, and decorative art are also included. Current usage of the term "visual arts" includes fine art as well as applied or decorative arts and crafts, but this was not always the case.

Location shooting has several advantages over filming on a studio set. First and foremost is that real-world locations often offer rich "authenticity" which would be very expensive to duplicate elsewhere. Unless the actual location "has fallen into disrepair", it will always look better than a set.

Den Bosch

In the current era of history, film criticism is rich in having digital devices that allow films to be analyzed through visual and auditory methods that involve critical strategies of creativity that allow people to become immersed in film criticism.[6] Film criticism is also associated with the cultural type of criticism, which is also referred to as academic criticism, and academic criticism is able to primarily make interpretations of films from the viewpoint of directors while the interpretations place emphasis on parallels that films have with previous works that were deemed to be of high quality

Birth of a radio

 

Radio receivers are essential components of all systems based on radio technology. The information produced by the receiver may be in the form of sound, video (television), or digital data. A radio receiver may be a separate piece of electronic equipment, or an electronic circuit within another device. The most familiar type of radio receiver for most people is a broadcast radio receiver, which reproduces sound transmitted by radio broadcasting stations, historically the first mass-market radio application. A broadcast receiver is commonly called a "radio". However radio receivers are very widely used in other areas of modern technology, in televisions, cell phones, wireless modems, radio clocks and other components of communications, remote control, and wireless networking systems.
