So the movie lovers everywhere are able to get an overview before watching the film itself. And here we provide different things from previous reviews. And we make sure you as the movie lovers will be satisfied with it. High-definition video video higher resolution and quality from standard definition. Although there is no standard meaning for high-definition video images, generally with far more than 480 horizontal lines (North America) or 576 horizontal lines (Europe) are considered high definition. 480 scan lines are generally a minimum although most system greatly exceeded the limit. Standard resolution image captured at a rate much faster than usual (60 frames/second North America, 50 fps Europe), by high speed camera can be considered high-definition in some contexts. Several television series shot in high-definition video that is made to look as if they've been shot on film, a technique that is often known as the filmizing. HDTV broadcast systems associated with three main parameters: Frame size in pixels is defined as the number of pixels horizontal × vertical pixels, for example number of 1280 × 720 or 1920 × 1080. Often times the number of pixels horizontally are implied from context and omitted, as in the case of 720 p and 1080 p. Scanning system is identified with the letter p for progressive scanning or i for interlaced scan. Frame rate is identified as the number of video frames per second. For interlaced systems, the number of frames per second must be specified, but it is not uncommon to see a level playing field which is used instead. Naming of commercial products, frame rate often falls and implied from context (e.g., a television set 1080i). Frame rate can also be specified without a resolution. For example 24 p means 24 progressive scan frames per second, and 50i means 25 interlaced frames per second. There is no standard for HDTV color support. The color is usually broadcast using YUV (10-bit per channel) However, depending on the underlying technology produces an image of the recipient, it is then converted to RGB color spaces that use standard algorithms. When sent directly through the Internet, the colors usually pre-convert to 8-bit RGB channels for additional storage savings with the assumption that it's only viewable only on a computer screen (sRGB). As an added benefit to the original broadcaster, pre-conversion losses are basically making these files is not suitable for professional TV Broadcasting again.

LORD OF TEARS (a.k.a. The Owlman) **** U.K. 2013 Dir: Lawrie Brewster 85 mins

Euan Douglas stars as James Findlay a school teacher who finds out that he has become the sole heir to an estate that his mother left him in her will. The only problem is that this is the childhood home where he was warned never to return to. Going up to the old family home James realises he is not alone, as the mysterious but charming Eve Turner (Alexandra Nicole Hulme) is there to keep him company.
As the time at the home grows so does the affection James has for Eve but it won't be for long as the owlman will soon reveal something that will haunt James even more then his childhood dreams. Written with dread in mind, Sarah Daly brings us a haunting tale of one mans quest for the truth only to realise that life often reveals secrets that should have stayed buried. Besides this feature film the only acting credit Euan Douglas has is in a short film, so maybe his performance here wasn't as good as it could have been to carry the film just that step further. The obvious character in the film that will stick with you throughout is the haunting character of the owlman, who speaks full of dread and is just creepy to look at. The best performance goes to Alexandra Nicole Hulme though as Eve who really holds the film together with her charm. If you want to watch a film that takes you further into the mind of madness and doesn't rely on heavy special effects then this film will be a treat and is destined to become a cult classic. Also keep an eye on the production company behind this film (Hex Media) as they have further projects lined up that will interest even the hardest to please horror fan.
