Film meets Art

Film Meets Art

When cinema was introduced initially it was not considered as an element of 'Art'. Our cinema world is inspired by various kind of paintings, statues, etc. which we use as a composition in the celluloid making it look creative, as well as appealing on screen with the on going action. Different artistic work has helped cinema in painting the screen, and also helping us position every element in front of the frame. With the help of different kind of lighting and editing techniques including the camera work it makes the situation look artistic. The difference between a painting is that the situation which is put on the paper or a canvas is still, and in the film it moves with the mood, somewhere conveying the same vibes, or meaning as well. Art directors decorate the screen also with the help of different art works that is painting, with the director and camera man bringing it to live. The characters which the director have imagined can also be explained through different artistic works, it can make the job of a film maker easier by deciding the costume, color, and the posture as well. Even it can help in the architectural design when it comes to building the sets, with the help of improvisation. This was mostly applied in the old times, but today people believe in innovating their own ideas. Film today is also an art, which is still very unique in it's nature capturing people into it's world.

Acting - Self sacrificing yourself

Acting - Self sacrificing yourself

Who's an actor? Now we all know that an actor is the one who gulps in the character which the director gives him/her to perform for the film. But that is not the only thing necessary for an actor. Every writer, and director is clear about what they want from their cast, and make sure that whatever role they have imagined for the characters will come out from them. An actor plays various roles in different kind of films, and most of the characters which is given to them are very distinct from their real life personality, and it's their responsibility for portraying something in nearly a perfect manner, in the reel life, and enthral the audience with their performance, giving justice to the screenplay, and the director's visualization as well. The job of an actor is also to add his/her imagination in between the scenario given to them, and you never know that it might be better than it was written. The actor should very well have the presence of mind, and know what is their character, how does the character live, eat, background and so on. Stanislavsky had given this world of acting which is known to be 'Method acting', where the actor behaves the same way their character is out of the reel life. This helps an actor a lot when it comes in understanding their character. Acting is not just getting into the character and delivering the dialogues, as it's futile in just doing that. It's a technique, which is very detailed. You have to understand what you have to portray, the way you'll stand, or sit, the diction, and you're voice modulation with the pauses as well in between, and also most importantly be very expressive as well. Sometimes even the script is poor, the acting enhances the story as well. Being a presentable actor, and just being an actor is very different. If an actor abstains their hard work then it'll not just harm their part of the film but the entire film as well. Picking up challenging roles will also help in you're career, as you'll overcome the challenges. Sometimes an actor just sticks to do what the director wants them, and this helps it making them look different in every kind of role, even avoiding being stereotype. And some actors are left so free that they can portray just what they have imagined regarding that particular situation, and even there is a balance between both. Exorbitant hard work will surely make people remember the role given to you for a very long time. The actor is the face of the film, and also it helps to augment the market of the film. An actor also should know how the frame is set, and to understand the key words used on set, because knowing what kind of lighting, frame, and so on is set will surely effect the look and scenario as well.
Acting is surely is to self sacrifice yourself, as you most of the time portray a character which you're not, and imbibe as much of the screenplay as you can by adding you're own creative ability. At the end of the day, and actor is the one who takes the story to different phases.

The Job of a Film Producer

The Job of a Film Producer

What can make a good producer? By just investing all his/her money into the film, and provide almost everything which a director wants to input onscreen? In my point of view the quality of a film is also very much depended upon the producer. The script will decide your budget, and it will be given from the producer. If a film director is provided with a producer who ensures that whatever requirements will be needed in a film will help in completing it without fail, will help the director as well, for example, a specific location which a director wishes to shoot a song sequence, which might be tough to arrange, the efforts of the producer should be seen in making the wish of the director granted as well. Not only that, a film producer also should be very witty in selecting a script. But usually many film producers also help in enhancing the script by following the star system, and helps it reach the mass market. Now that also depends. If the film is low budget then according to that particular budget things will be arranged by the producer. Producers can be independent or they can also be a production company as well. If you're film producer is cooperative then it will be easy to ask for anything as well. It's essential for the producer to stay awake in all the stages of the film, and especially in the distribution part as well, when it comes for inviting you're audience to watch the film. The job of a producer can also help turning a film into a profitable one, and arranging the suitable cast and crew. Having a business mind, and to know how to deal with people as well is another very important quality for a film producer. A producer with no knowledge of finance is just like a film without a proper script. The film producer is also the one who ensures that the shoot will go smoothly without any fail as well. A film producer simultaneously understand the vision of the director, and also get to know how he/she will help in executing the story, and manage the finance in different departments by being frugal. If the producer will fail the quality of the film will too, and it's essential for the producer to bolster the director. If the producer is evasive then making the film will also be difficult as well. 
So hence, the film producer should not be eccentric and always be there for the director in achieving what is his/her need without any complains, and make the film look just the way the script demands.
