Establishing a Home Cinema
For many folk the idea of having a cinema in your own home is the ultimate in luxury and high living. But many don't perhaps realise how achievable this dream actually is these days. This article covers the basics of how you should go about setting up a home cinema using the latest HD projector as the source of the image. The process is comparatively simple and provided you make adequate preparation should not take too long to set up.
External light can make the projected image appear faded and difficult to see. As a result you really should make sure that you are able to control the amount of external light entering the room you select to be your viewing arena. This is often a basement, but can be any largish room, provided you have blinds or some form of blackout capability over the windows.
The equipment you need to purchase include an HD projector, of course, a screen that is able to be erected flat and wrinkle free and a DVD player or games console that is capable of playing DVD's such as the Xbox 360. The advantage of such a games console is that you can use the projector to project the games you are playing which will enhance your sense of being immersed within the game considerably.
You should also give some consideration to purchasing a sound system capable of producing surround sound. This aspect is often overlooked, but is in many ways at least as important as the HD projector itself. The lack of decent sound can significantly impair your enjoyment of a movie, perhaps more so than even a poor picture and since you are attempting to replicate a cinema type environment great sound is essential.
Once you have established the room and purchased the equipment the rest can be as complicated or straightforward as you like. In simple terms you need a stand, or stable location for the HD projector and DVD player to sit. It should be square onto the projecting surface to avoid any distortion. You need to set up your projection screen in a suitable location that is not in the path of everyday household traffic. You must optimise the distance between the HD projector and the screen to ensure the displayed image is suitable for both viewing pleasure and the room size.
Lastly arrange seating, put on a DVD and enjoy the film. Refinements would include building in the HD projector stand, hiding wires and housing the screen, but these are not essential for use and largely depend upon your inclination and budget.

Home Movies
Home movie (with professional narration) of Bonnie and Clyde death scene (1934).
The development of home movie-making has depended critically on availability of equipment and media formats (film, videotape, etc.) at prices affordable to consumers.
Development of film formats suitable for amateur hobbyists began early in the history of cinematography. For example, the 17.5 mm "Birtac" format was patented by Birt Acres in 1898. This format split the standard 35 mm film into two strips half as wide and was able to be loaded into the camera in daylight. Since the frames were also half the height of 35 mm frames, the Birtac format used only 25% of the amount of film stock used by 35 mm. Since the camera doubled as a printer and projector, equipment costs were also reduced.
Safety film and the 16 mm film format
Another breakthrough in making film practical for home users was the introduction of safety film in the 1920s. Earlier "nitrate film" required special handling and storage, even after it was exposed and developed, since it is extremely flammable and has even been known to spontaneously catch fire as it gets older.
Many competing film formats were introduced in the early decades until 16 mm safety film was introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1923 and became a standard in the non-professional market. Although 16 mm had the advantage of users not being tied to one equipment manufacturer and there were obvious cost advantages compared to standard 35 mm, it was never able to eliminate smaller formats and it eventually was relegated to professional users, particularly in the education market.
8 mm film format and color

In 1932, Kodak introduced another new format, 8 mm (now known as "Regular 8" or "Straight 8"), by slitting 16 mm film in half, again reducing by 75% the amount of film stock used per frame. This was the point at which home movies finally came within reach of the average family, and the smaller format allowed for much smaller and more portable cameras and projectors.
The introduction of Kodachrome color reversal film for 16 mm in 1935, and for 8 mm in 1936, facilitated home color cinematography. The availability of reversal film (Kodachrome was not the first) was very important to the home movie-making market, since it avoided the expense of separate negatives and positive prints.
Super 8 and Single-8 film formats
Although developments in fine-grained film made Regular 8 mm film practical, it was largely superseded shortly after Kodak's 1965 introduction of Super 8 film. The Super 8 format used the same film width as Regular 8, but the perforations were smaller, allowing for a larger frame size yielding frames with less grain. In addition, Super 8 film came in cartridges for easier loading into the camera. A competing format from Fujifilm (Single-8) was also introduced in 1965 and used similar film, but in a different type of cartridge.
Home video-making
The introduction of the Beta VCR in 1975 and VHS in 1976 heralded a revolution in the making of home movies. Videocassettes were extremely inexpensive compared to film and they could even be erased. It took a few years before home video cameras and portable VCRs were introduced, and later combined to create camcorders, but by that time, many consumers already had the playback equipment in their homes.
Omnipresence and controversy

Portability and small size of digital home movie equipment, such as camera phones and PDAs with video capabilities, has led to the banning of such devices from various places, due to privacy and security concerns.
Pornographic movies of celebrities have been rumoured to exist for many years, but the ease of creating home movies on video has resulted in several celebrity sex tapes becoming available to the public, often without the permission of participants. The honeymoon video of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee from 1998 was the first highly publicized example.
Portability of digital equipment helps fuel other controversies as well, such as the incident on November 17, 2006 in which comedian Michael Richards got into a racist war of words with an audience member during his comedy club act. Large parts of the incident were captured on the camera phone of another audience member and broadcast widely.
Home movies have played important roles in controversial police investigations, a prime example being the Zapruder film of the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy shot using an 8 mm home movie camera on Kodachrome II 8 mm safety film. This film was published and broadcast extensively and became official evidence for the Warren Commission, which was established to investigate the assassination. November 22nd. 1963.
