So here’s the real deal, straight from logic. Seen enough actors/ producers/ directors escape from their ONE primary responsibility in cinema; to make films that sell tickets. Yes independent cinema, yes cinema as art, yes cinema for festivals, yes cinema that has a voice, yes brave new cinema, yes noir, yes abstract…. Why not yes cinema that sells tickets? Because all of them of this generation know the theory of cinema and anybody can be a maker or actor without the one BASIC qualification: knowledge of the audience! They don’t buy tickets, why should their audience buy them?Why not straightforward entertainment? Why not understand what made Manmohan Desai and Raj Kapoor tick? Why not great music? Because everyone is evading the real reason for the collapse, enough tickets are not being sold. OTT is free. Seeing cinema on gadgets is free. Let’s wake up and smell the coffee! Look at how we made hits with only 100 prints and tickets at less than 10/-.

The enduring power of humour in advertising only delivers sales efficacy when it's woven into a strong product pay off. Humour for humour's sake often leaves people remembering the ad, but confusing who it's for. Or what the product even was. This example from Coffee Mate is a wonderful combo of how to do both. It's irreverent enough to capture attention, but the irreverence builds towards the produt pay off. At the end of the ad, the abiding message in my mind was how creamy that coffee must taste to break the "coffee mate, coffee mate? Coffee, mate" vortex. The humour is part of the strategy and narrative for the product, not an add-on. Nicely done, Courage Inc #humour #advertising #strategy

For e.g. if its a film score, remind yourself of the film’s tone - spend time building your connection with the characters, plot and storyline. 2. Write down what you want your music to sound like - scripting our intentions can help realign us and even manifest some incredible results! 3. Allocate a short burts of time compose...anything! Clearing out our brain from all the creative residue and scraps creates space for an idea that eventually sticks!

Background music or BGM is one of the key elements used to communicate the mood of a film to the viewer. I always focus on the core feel of the story and the colour of the visuals I have shot during the scoring of my films, paying extra attention to detail at the music production stage. Here's the theme for my antagonist, Rakshit, from our previous film, Fidelity: https://lnkd.in/d6NkqHg9

Today, I'd like to share a few thoughts on film scoring: Through my years of experience as a film composer, I've come to a realization about how composing music for films operates: Scoring a film isn't merely about crafting a piece of music to accompany the visuals, but rather about aiding in 'solving the puzzle' of the film's narrative through music. I'm curious to hear what do you filmmakers think about this perspective. https://lnkd.in/d6cRPsXU

...🎥🎨👩🎤...VideoArt...creating art with sound and color...a collection of low budget videos...What is Video Art? 👇 "Video art is an art form which relies on using video technology as a visual and audio medium. Video art emerged during the late 1960s as new consumer video technology such as video tape recorders became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms. One of the key differences between video art and theatrical cinema is that video art does not necessarily rely on many of the conventions that define theatrical cinema." #art #sound #color #music #passion #rose #butterfly #sandclock

FOLEY - Foley is the recreation of common sound effects used in post-production to improve audio quality in movies, videos, and other media. Named after sound-effects artist Jack Foley, the art is used to enhance the auditory experience of a video. So here’s my attempt at making some Foley sound effects. #talentshowcase #rrd #rrdstrong #rrdgocreative #foleysounds #foleyrecording
