AUDIENCES & PRODUCTS WEEK 6 - PRODUCTION PROCESS


Any film goes through 3 stages in its creation. Pre-production, production and post-production. 


Pre-Production-  The Pre - production is the process of any film which they have to do big planning like which casts they want to choose to act in there film and the director has the most biggest responsibility because he or she is the one who have to name the film and the crew have to listen very carefully whats the film is about then the first thing the writer writes the film script then when the script is finished they take to the person who writes the story board and that person who draws the story board they have to keep reffing to the script just to see if that art work is drawn on the board so the script writer and the story board will actually match together . 


Also when story board and script is done they taken it the director of the film then he and she will say yes this is the correct story i'm looking for then the budget business starts and if they got a lot money from that company they start bringing all the props and building the sets .       


Production - When the Pre- Production is done they start actually making the film and bringing the characters alive so first when the actors come in to the set first they go in the dressing room to get dressed into there costumes then the actors get to read their own scripts the character they are acting then is the real acting starts. The amount scenes they will have to make depends how big is the story board as the director is finishing making the film and the crew who help the director to make the film and hopefully they would get an award. 


During when the actors and crew are off set the director will say that the script and the storyboard needs to match to the production and if we made any film no matter what genre it is we are actually being supported by the company and that's any company.            


Post-Production- When the all of the scenes have been recorded no matter how many cameras they used and which angle they have been recorded then is time to put all soundtracks, sound effects and special effects need to be edit . 


The way they do all of this is if your scene was rerecorded in the studio lets say is about school and they built the set of a classroom and it's got windows and next to it is an green screen which you want to put like a sky or make a 3D model on CGI of the school block building so thats called background effects and if anyone is doing that in every scene the whether is different so which scene it could be running or snowing depending whats the script and storyboard says . 

Then one team will be putting the soundtracks in every scene and lets say if is an emotional scene then the soundtrack will be slow and upsetting because the soundtrack spouse to keep the audience watching the film, and on one side that time will be the sound effects if the actors are fighting like punches and kicks then the sound people will find a object to use so it matches together.

When the sound and special etc is done then is time to edit the whole film and if the film is not in order then the editor will be using the storyboard which scene come first which are in the middle and the ending of the film then when everything is been done then is the picture quality is the most important . Then last thing is the marketing like the stars comes in first they will talking about the film story and how they feel working in that film . 

Afterwards the audiences go and watch the film in the cinema by watching the trailer and never no that film could be an Oscar winner .

The popular Bollywood film Tiger Zinda Hai was made by the company Yash Raj Films and the story behind the production is that it was called Ek Tha Tiger was similar to Tiger Zinda Hai, but the characters had the same names.

So the Film director called 'Ail Abbas Zafar' wanted to make the film in one country so they chosen morocco to film , as I found a clip on youtube behind the scenes it tells me that who was involved to make this action film and they had some of the crew from America to help to make the film. 


Behind the scenes it shows that they used a lot of props and they did a lot of planning to make this film. The best thing is people in morocco they love Tiger Zinda Hai and they said "that you chosen the right cast".


 Also when they stared making this film the cast first had training with the weapons because through out of this film they would be using just the guns so they had couple of months training to do so they get use to using the weapons and every member of the cast had training, but the popular clip I watched on youtube was Katrina Kaif who is acting has (Zoya) and that video it showed that how the correct pose to hold the guns like if you are a police officer or you are working in the James Bond films . 


Even the action director had called a lot of crew member the ones who had the qualifications to help out they were all involved, even Katrina Kaif had tutorials with different types of stuntman one with how to use the gun and how to fight with fits and legs which the whole choreography was being produced and the sequence was to put the whole film has one big action film . 


The other thing is that the actors have to be sporty and athletic just to see the characters actually comes to life . When all the scenes was finish of making the thing that it needed to be done is all the sound effects so the audience thinks they used a lot sound effects and action films does have lots of sound effects and even the different types of music like soundtracks. The most important thing was the special effects because the film has got a lot of effects like fire when the big exploration happens is got a lot of fire so they edit that into the film and the flames. When the bullets are firing from the barrel so all of the special effects was edit. 


Then when all of the special effects , soundtracks and sound effects was edit the editing had the most hardest job to do , to edit the whole film in a way from the start of the film all the way to the end and he or she had to check that there isn't any cuts left over or any silly mistake. Even they had to use effects for the whole picture so the colour reminds the same and every few second they would have to keep playing the film forward and backgrounds just to get the film sequence.  


When the audience went to the cinema they never noticed a cut because with modern technology they can use the type of software which allows them to edit and put a bit of glow so the picture quality stands out . Even the important thing the picture Quality should be good because that's the main thing that the audience goes to the cinema just to judge if the picture is good so they can tell other people like why this new action is worth seeing it .

'Products & Audiences: Content Analysis'



What happens in the scene is that the actor (Tiger) comes outside slowly with the gun  then at the target point he starts firing. He sprays bullets side to side so he can kill as many terrorists as possible.

The terrorists were wearing black which covered them from head to feet apart from there eyes. They are using machine guns and they are shooting back just try and kill Tiger. Also the terrorists is trying to kill tiger but they failed to because tiger gun it's big which it can install as many bullets it can and he is firing 100mph as he is firing 100mph then near to the middle of the scene is slow motion and that is showing the audience that what part of the body the bullet it hits.

When the slow motion scene was finished then it was quick scene near to the end. The plot near to the end of the film is when tiger mange to kill the terrorist that's the film is called Tiger Zinda Hai which means in English translated Tiger Is alive .

How the camera worked in angles is that is recorded near to the big gun what tiger was holding then it's recorded where the bullets are falling on the floor and when is someone is being shot the film maker puts it on slow motion mode or they would used effect then when the quick scene came on they would of made a cut and carry on recording the rest. Even they would of done cuts but you can't notice that in an action movie .

The way it's edited is in one piece and in slow motion the film maker has done really well editing the quick scenes and the slow motion scene .

The sound in this seen is very diagetic which means that there lots sounds going off in one time like mainly is the firing of the guns the terrorists guns and tigers gun and in the slow motion scene is the falling of the bullet one floor and the sound of bullets sounds like penny dropping on the floor . Even the music is slow which it actually fits into the slow motion and that tells it might be the last slow motion scene in the film .

As the music is calm which is edit in the slow motion scene that effect shows us that Tiger slowly fires his gun then the bullet hits the terrorist very carefully and slowly  and calm music is showing that the audience gets to see and hear that the terrorist gets shot and falling on the ground slowly and the keeps us audience focused so they know whats going to happen next. 

The special effects has been used in this scene is fire which they have used on CGI just to make the scene look like an proper Bollywood action Hindi film the part of the film where there is special effects the flame on the barrel but you see flame coming from the barrel only the gun Tiger is holding and in the quick scene mode the flame is kept firing in full speed then in the slow motion mode the flame comes out very slowly from the barrel which is eye catching.

Also the guns the terrorist is holding you can see effects but not has much from Tiger . The effects in this scene is all CGI all visual and there is no claymation, but it does have bloodbags which there is bloodbags on the right and side of Tigers forehead and this shows that he does have black dried blood wound but he carry's on fighting so he can get the job done .

'Products And Audiences - Content & Meaning - Denotation & Connotation - Learning Outcome 1'

Image result for tiger zinda hai.

The film Tiger Zinda Hai is the most popular Bollywood film which it came out on the 22nd December 2017 which they made a huge hit .

DENOTATION

In the image there are two people a man and a woman, who are holding guns . There is the title of the film and the date which you can go and see it.


CONNOTATION

The poster description shows that it makes you want to go to the cinema because on the poster on the left hand side it's got the film company, which is big in the film industry and is called Yash Raj Films . Also it shows the actors names above their heads and because I know who they are it persuades me to go to see the film.

On this image is got two well known actors, one male and one female who are agents. In their hands they are both holding guns .The guns are firing which shows that the flames are coming from the barrel of the guns . This infers that they are fighting against the bad people . The actors are both wearing similar brown trousers and green T- shirts this infers that they look like soldiers .

In the background it shows a helicopter , it's at an angle which looks as if it's about to crash. The whole picture appears as if  they are in the war zone .

The title of the film shows that is an a big font and capitals. The colour of the writing is white but the background is dark brown . So they chose these colours which makes the title stand out and seems more dramatic. In the word 'HAI' within  the 'A' it shows a small version of the actor in a shadow .

Below the title it has the rest of the actors which it has listed and the writing is smaller . This makes me think that actors are involved but not as popular as the main actors .Underneath this is the date of the release that film will actually come out on the 22nd December .

There is a strapline at the very bottom of the image saying ' THIS CHRISTMAS THERE WILL BE PEACE'. This makes me think that they won't be any fighting and the war will be finished .

GENRE

Image result for what genre is tiger zinda hai

The type of genre tiger Zinda Hai is a action,spy,adventure thriller and drama film also all the media product as been put in to making this film is when people saw the poster of the film it shows that is an action thriller because the two agents are holding guns .

When the audiences actually came to see the film the visual they could see from their eyes was very real because through out of the whole film is full of actions and when I saw this type of genre film their are only little bit of a calm scene but most of it was action.

Even in the film is a spy film because the character called tiger his ex boss Shenoy is tracking and spying on tiger because in Iraq there was terrorism going on and over there Indian nurses needed help so Shenoy was spying on tiger and when he got the hold of tiger he explained to tiger that this would be an adventure so the word adventure links into the film genre because tiger goes on an adventure just to find out how bad these terrorists are. This is typical in a spy film.

Then their is a bit of drama and that scene is that tiger wife which her name is Zoya and she is telling him you cant go to Iraq because you are father and that our son will find out that both of his parents are agents then he explain to his wife saying don't worry I will be fine and he said that I will bring our Indian nurses back to India so they feel safe . This is typical in a drama film.

In later in the film thriller scenes starts to appear in a way that zoya is a agent as well but she is not Indian she is Pakistani and she has bring her agents from Pakistan , so what happens is the Indian agents and the Indian agents they start having sort of competition saying India is the no Pakistan is the best . This is typical in a thriller film.

Then what happens is Tiger explains that I know the both countries don't have a good relationship but tiger is saying that we all adults and sometime s when we don't want to work with someone but you have to sometimes and that scene is bit educated . Then later in the film near to they ending the two counties are working together to kill all the terrorist and there is a lot of action .
