Project 51

Course Code and Name: MSJ11431 Documentary Production

Project Name: Documentary Video

Title: Cinemar Kotha

Project Date: Fall 2021

Project Description: It was anticipated that the students would apply the acquired proficiencies from the instructional sessions towards the development of a documentary film. This constituted the final and singular task for the course. The objective of the present inquiry was to produce a documentary that focused on the performance of a female actor in a cinematic production. The collation of information has been successfully amalgamated and the resultant documentary has been meticulously fashioned in the form of a cogent and captivating narrative.

Project Justification: In this project, students were expected to learn how to use the camera and make compositions practically. In this project I tried to show how Bangladeshi female actor plays vital role in the society.

1.

It usually takes a lot of effort and study to make a documentary. I think I have taken a little extra time to make a documentary than others because the ones I interviewed usually have a hard time getting a schedule, but I believe if I could interview a few more directors and one or two heroes, it would have been better. I think my argument could have been better if I could have interviewed some of the heroines. The central part of my documentary is that it had a lot of information; the most vital point was the synchronization and inserting footage in the right place. Also, I received the answer the way I wanted, which helped me a lot to prove my documentary, and I believe the most vital part of my documentary was the argument I successfully proved.

Pre-Production Production Postproduction

Argument: Cinema is a medium of mass culture which we are misusing. How am I going to prove it?   ● Book Analyse   ● Many types of watching Bangla cinema analyses.   ● Footage of different kinds of mainstream cinema collated.   ● Interview of audience.   ● Interview of two directors and one producer.   ● Interview of actor actress.   ● Interview of a cinema critic.   ● Voice over.   ● Interview of University film students. Characters 1. Two Directors 2. Two Teachers of Film Studies. 3. One Film Student A list of location   ● University, House 56, Rd/ A.Dhanmondi   ● Office. Niketon housing society, road 5, house 2, 3rd      floor   ● shooting spot 20/9, Shershah Suri Road,       Mohammadpur Town Hall, Mohammadpur   ● Chorki- Dhaka, 19 kawran Bazar.   ● Dhanmondi, Madina Masjid.E bangla road.   ● 6. University, Ramchandrapur, Mohammadpur. What modalities are you going to follow? 80 Percent analyse, and 20 percent reveal Who is your audience? The quality of our mainstream cinema Is decreasing, which is an alarming sign as we all know cinema is a mass medium from which people learn and get ideas. And their people are constantly getting the wrong messages from our mainstream cinema The target audience is the young generation Aged 20 to 40. So, basically, my target audience is Young People. Who are the consumers and young filmmakers so that cinema as a medium gets its salvation? To inspire young filmmakers to make good cinema and a young audience to avoid such misleading information given by the cinema. So that young people don’t take the wrong messages from our Mainstream cinema. Each Group member has a role in the production.   1. Director of the Documentary Sifat Nusrat I did all kinds of research work, including book analysis, the book finds out, watching and analyzing various mainstream movies, extracting footage, contacting the people I will interview, fixing the date of their interview, and all the writing work and submitting all assignments. Also, I have done the Production Diary and managed the budget by myself. 2. Cinematographer and Postproduction Gopal Basak He is my only group member and has done the most essential part of the documentary Gopal has handled the Camera along with the cinematography and also the postproduction.	Since my job was not so easy, I had to spend a lot of time in contact with Sir and the director; although I could not interview any actress or actor, I contacted a lot of people like Jaya Ahsan, Bandhan, Rozina, Sabana, Siam, Chanchal Chowdhury etc. However, they all got me, but in the reality of their work, many could not even give me time, but I also interviewed Amitabh Reza Sir, one of the directors, but did not use it because I thought it did not go with my argument, so I have left out the whole footage. In production, I have used One Camera with the required Lens, One Tripod and Lapel, nothing else.	Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe After Effect, Adobe Audition
Interview Mohammad Shazzad Hossain Cinema is a medium of folk culture. What is your opinion on a medium we have misused, which has had a horrible effect on our society? Interview Nandita Tabassum: How do you think the young people in our society have been affected by how we are or have been abusing this medium of cinema? We are getting some big wrong messages like eve teasing from mainstream movies, which is having a significant impact on the young society; what kind of impact do you think it is Having on our young community? Interview: Tanvir Mokammel How do you think the extremes of the 80's movies started and how the effects of how the films abused because of this bust started in society? Interview: GiasUddin Selim: When the golden age of cinema is called, and 52,73,76, we see some movies with the Sabana image, so I think these Sabana image movies have pushed the women of our society back another 50 years; what do you think? Interview Tanvir Mokammel We see in movies that we tend to equip girls with everything, where the tendency is to keep women completely stereotyped. We know from movies. What is your opinion about this misconception about girls and this wrong medium of cinema? Interview Mohammed Farhad Hossain As a future filmmaker, do you think the new generation is getting the wrong message from such mainstream movies? Interview: Nandita Tabassum: The primary purpose of the Lady Action movie is to make a woman self-reliant, but without showing it, all these movies show the dress of the girls and the angle of capturing the camera in a way that gives a bad look to the girls of our society, what do you think about that? Interview: Tanvir Mokammel: Once upon a time, we saw the movie's name was also called Gunda, Mastan, and they took over the whole world of pictures. That is the main reason we see violence and sex scene in the movies. What is your opinion on that? Interview: Giasuddin Selim What do you think has been the effect of making so many fake movies on our nation? Interview: Tanvir Mokammel: What was your opinion on the far-reaching impact of the Cut piece movie on our society, sir? Interview: Giasuddin Selim: How do you guys think people, who have no idea about movies, got into film, started making movies like they did, and started abusing the movie world, sir? Interview: Mohammad Shazzad Hossain At one time, we started making movies only for male viewers. What is your comment on this? Were there only male viewers in the film? Interview: Tanvir Mokammel It ended with some words from Sir. There was no question at the end. I created a budget with full details and started Working on a complete schedule.	We did not use any extra sound and lights for the shoot.

Throughout my journey, I have had many disagreements with my group members. I have got the editing work done again and again with my group member, he has helped me a lot, and he has done the editing job very well. There was no rest in the whole journey. No, I had to communicate a lot for the interview and had to wait, but we managed to finish the documentary in a good way.

Learning and Outcome (Self-Reflection)

I had an opportunity to create a documentary for this class, and as director, I was in charge of overseeing the entire cast and crew. I conducted interviews with my professors and film experts to learn more about the craft of making documentaries. As a result, I learned a lot about the research, pre-production, filming, and post-production phases of making a documentary. As the director, it was my job to oversee every part of the production, from managing the cast and staff to making sure that the documentary's objectives were met. Strong leadership abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and successful teamwork were all required for this.
