RECO’s

A 'RECO' stands for (a special form of) cinematic reconstruction.

A video film reconstruction is in front of cameras staging again one or more events that historically have taken place.

At the moment that such a film becomes enriched with education about 'lessons learned' by means of Science Fiction, this film reconstruction story is named a 'reco'.

RECO’s are about historical events having taken place, that are related to a single item, of which the content of the message is already up to date for a longer time.
With fictional characters, history is reenacted by actors, which is reflected in short feature films.

RECO's aim at 'the knowledge of lessons learned from the past' on an entertainment-way to please a (maximal volume) viewing audience.

The format is always recognizable by an image mask and the recognition tunes, and the especially hilarious and spectacular stories.
Each RECO is basically created in the Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish languages.
Other languages are subtitled, or production is sold through licenses after the requested language by the creator (Casting International) and producer (Casting International Second Unit) for the buyer is manufactured.

According to the format, in 5 years’ time, there are at least 240 (in terms of script available) film-reconstructions to produce via conveyor belt production procedures, and introduced as original-innovative and creative* product in the Audio-Visual distribution market(s).
Think of series about:
entrepreneurship, bureaucracy, terrorism (also from your neighbor), art thefts, women trafficking, water, miracles-oracles, humorous incidents, norms and values; social security, morbid stories, Human Rights, refugees, youth care, parenting support, etc., etc..
You decide what has priority.

Reco's aim to give the viewer a short bright view in the denouement of historical realities that were during the incident(s) often obscure.

There are 3 main types of reconstructions:

• 'lessons learned': instruction movies to improve economic and social gaps by means of trade
  (This kind of Reco's belong to the Faction genre;
  IE: focus on "outside" causes and consequences);
• Short edutainment featurefilms, within each field of knowledge of history cases
  (This kind of Reco's belong to the abduction* genre;
  IE: focus on "inner" causes and consequences);
• Media plan feature films per nation, for example Mediaplan Uganda
  (This kind of Reco's belong to the Science-Fiction genre;
  IE: focus on "inside and outside" the causes and consequences).

RECO-TV

RECO-TV is an internet TV station that teaches about the phenomenon of 'the self'.
(RTPK channel 1 sub-menu: 'the 5 media-channels').

In our society the priority is on matter, but attention for consciousness and awareness about the functioning of the mind* is neglected.

Ignorance* in this area results in selfishness*, indifference, discontent and violence*.
People run from one stimulus to another stimulus.
In daily life, everyone is more or less in contact with this kind of neglected issues (.. ).
There is presently no medium* that is able to give continuous, individual instruction in this area.

Viewers and users (subscribers)

The 1st internet channel of the Reality-TV station shows all kinds of 'RECO' programs.
All viewers can find here free of costs entertainment;
The user, subscriber, can in addition from his/her/their education* motif, create own film-scenes-programs in 5 European languages of your choice. This makes RECO-TV interactive and crowdsourching.
Channel 1 of RTPK has for its subscribers an encyclopedic* database as knowledge centre, which share knowledge about the relationship 'consciousness' and 'the fate of co-incidents*", by (blocks and scenes of) reconstructions*.

A subscription has a low financial threshold.
The thought behind is that the consumer wants to choose from our encyclopedias* because it's a relaxing way of learning about yourself.

The interaction teaches in eg. What is 'self', 'yourself', ‘effortless', and 'identification'.
FOR EXAMPLE:
How consciousness works;
what emotions are (energy in motion),
and how to deal with emotions if they confuse or frustrate you...;
and thoughts, how better to focus (concentrate);
and how you can integrate Human Rights for yourself,
and love, instead of losing your self,
and compassion, how to transcend 'suffering',
and inner peace, that forwards outer peace.

RECO-TV provides a social need for knowledge sharing about happiness.
It's interactive entertainment and education by a separate 'Search&Find'-engine that works as an encyclopedia by visualized (film) explanation about the working of your own mind.

This online TV station is not comparable to existing TV broadcasters and/or channels.
RECO-TV use a recognizable mask with a lot advertising addressed to the viewers.
Only the subscribers can see commercial advertising-poor* RECO's.

Advertisers from the 5 language areas are surfing on the ratings and obtain a more direct relationship with their consumers as added value.
The business plan is based on the fact that each RECO generates many volume ratings, thus large financial gains by advertisements.

By the rubbernecking* and the ‘’hypnotizing’’ cinematography* RECO-formats are very innovative.

RECO-TV does not need interactive decoder devices. This channel 1 of RTPK is open to everyone and financially-low accessible for subscribers.

Example of subscribers education on RECO-TV:

A subscriber types: 'illusion';
He/she will then receive 2 (visualized) film scenes from RecoPhotoMania-serie '2 friends in the desert';
The education is:

1. (scene 2)
   as empty as the desert is, so empty is the nature of the mind.
   But if you are full of thoughts, like sand in the desert, illusion mislead and confuse you.
2. (scene 4)
   illusion is the ‘hunting of your mind to things’ that do not exist in a way like you think that it exists.
   A fatamorgana is a game of light; an empty shell without substantive value.
   An illusion exists, and at the same time it does not exist.
   The anti-dote of illusion is concentration.
   Now there is ... (finger cut) ... now it's an illusion.

Of course you can then retrieve all e.g. about 'concentration'; type this word in: and you get scenes to choose from other RECO-stories, showing all aspects of concentration.

All RECO films are, before tagged in scenes-parts in our Search&Find-engine, as total film story or as total TV-program distributed on various other entertainment channels.
