Apollo 18 Trailer: It's Paranormal Activity On The Moon

Apollo 18 , after scheduling one ludicrously optimistic release date just six months after they went into production, was at one point set to come out this spring, and is now planned for the death spot of early January. That inauspicious release date might say everything you need to know about the film, which is directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego with Timur Bekmambetov producing. But today the Weinstein Company has released a new trailer to get you excited anyway, and allow me to be the first to tell you that this is Paranormal Activity …. in space. Seriously, I dare you to think of something else while watching this below.



The fact that it's yet another found footage horror movie doesn't necessarily mean it won't be scary-- I'd be freaked out if I were an astronaut on the moon and saw a strange shadow go by my window-- but it doesn't make it seem all that original. It will be released after this fall's Paranormal Activity 3 , which means we might be even more sick of watching things go bump in the night through infrared camera technology. Does the outer space setting switch it up enough for you? Or are you feeling worn out by this horror trend too?

The Magical World of Infrared Photography

The perception of color is a purely psychological and subjective colors, as we see, there are no out objectively, but that originate through the retina, in our inner mental screen. The range of the light spectrum, between 700 and 1,200 nanometers, which captures infrared photography is invisible to the naked eye, and applications ranging from art to science, as we shall see.

All hot objects emit infrared radiation Infrared photography, therefore, need a SLR camera and a film sensitive to the wavelength emitted by objects to be photographed. All hot objects emit a greater or lesser extent, infrared radiation.

The beginnings of infrared photography can be traced back to an implementation in the military system to detect camouflage known through aerial photographs. Although its use is more widespread in the field of astronomy and telescopes by IRTS able to photograph some of that 90% of invisible matter in the universe. It also has application in medicine to detect and diagnose some types of cancer. But today is widely used in the field of artistic photography.

Spectral or Surreal Worlds With the boom of digital photography, the classic technique of infrared photography has been losing popularity. Today, infrared experiment with digital cameras is possible in some cases disabling the filter to these “hot mirror” that protects them from the radiation. With this simple operation can get some digital equipment market, by attaching an infrared filter, get infrared pictures.

Suitable filters are needed to allow only the passage of the infrared spectrum Infrared filters are tasked to suppress ultraviolet radiation and all or most of the visible spectrum, passing through the lens of the camera only the infrared spectrum. Without the IR filter, the film would absorb the entire spectrum and leave the negative unusable.

In the market you can find various types of infrared filter, so as the case or personal criteria, such as those sold by Hoya (R72) or Cokin (P007), for example. They differ in the amount of infrared that leak. The more infrared spectrum, the effect on the film will also be more pronounced.
