WoAh!!!! our first day was MAD!
I had to wake up early aswell which was not happening! (but luckly i had alarm clock Neelema! who ended up coming late herself :) )
i personally learnt some things:

1. firstly when recording make sure the tape in. LOL
2. secondly make sure the battery is fully charged. (ZEB came to the rescue!!)
3. thirdly because we went to the park it was well MUDDY! (so i shouldn't have worn ma boots) but our DIVA actress got her sari muddy (guess whos gotta pay for the dry cleaning??)
4. THE WEATHER was cold and wet and slightly sunny lol. so the shooting didn't last long cause we was freezing( especially naziya bless her running round in a sari) :)
5. but i pesonally learnt that to work effectly and to the best of abilty we should really not be messing but having a camera around you just can't help it LOL. don't worry we had neelema the grown up who told us off and we have footage of it HE HE !
6. i also learnt that the camera is not a mirror and is for working purposes only LOL!
7. FINALLY i learnt that the when shooting on locations to be aware of the surroundings like trucks and people in the shots.

I REGRET that i should have took my digital camera which would have been useful for putting on the blog and otha stuff.

This was the first day of shooting...We were all ready to get going as we had Naziya ready in a sari and she looked fantastic. We were all very excited to start we pressed the record button and nothing seemed to happen..by this time we were getting annoyed so we called zainab as we relised that our battery was low as well and thanks to ere she brought her battery. As is was really cold we decided to go get some hot chocolate and coffee yup it felt as if we were on a BOLLYWOOD SET!! Then me and Anjali got a call from Kiran saying that we didnt even put the tape in so no wonder it didnt record lololol i knw everyone is laughin o well we got there in the end and we got some great shots once we got into it we were having a laugh as well as getting some work done!!!

Bollywood films are often long - three hours, with an intermission.

Bollywood films are full of musical dance sequences, colorful costumes and creative choreography.

Romance and love are important elements in Bollywood cinema. However, kissing is almost never shown on screen.

About 14 million Indian people go to the cinema everyday, and 4 billion cinema tickets are sold each year for Bollywood films (compared to 3 billion for Hollywood.)

Bollywood is a nickname referring to the Indian film industry. The 'B' comes from Bombay (now 'Mumbai') - a large city in India, and a base for the film industry.

Bollywood is the largest film industry in the world, making more than 1000 films each year - twice as many as Hollywood

What is Bollywood??

Bollywood produces a load of films each year. They are very dramatic and colourful. The storylines are often very similar, though are still very interesting. To gat an insight on Bollywood movies just go onto www.youtube.com and view some trailers.

Bollywood trailers are much different to Hollywood. The differences are the music. In Bollywood movies the music sells the movie-hence the music being sold before the movie comes out. This is to give people a taster of what the film is about, and if people are interested in the songs and enjoy them, they will watch the movie to see exactly how the songs fit in and what they mean.

We chose to do a Bollywood trailer because it is different and seems challenging. Hope you lot wll enjoy it :)

This is a short preview to what bollywood is all about, it summarises bollwood tradition and what we are trying to achieve. It is clear to see how much dance and love dominates bollwood and how important it is. Obviously we can't get the great big settings they have, effecting the standards of the trailer but we are working around it to make our production as good, traditional and as unique as we can through finding the best locations in London and make it look as 'bollywood' as we can.

This film is an example of a very successful bollywood film. The storyline is very similar to ours, it is about two best friends who share a very close relationship until a new girl arrives at school and the boy falls in love wuth her. His friend then realises that she loves him and walks away becuase she can't them being together. Later they are reunited and fall in love agian.

We are hoping to produce a trailer which would appeal to the audince as well as 'kuch kuch hota hai' did.

SHAHRUKH IS BUFF!!!!! X X X

The genre of this film is romance which is also the same genre as our Bollywood trailer; as there is an image of a rose which connotes love and passion. The two protangonist show that they love each other as they are holding each other tightly with security and compassion. There facial expressions.
Fate is the main theme which runs in our film which is, similar to this narrative as the tagline is 'its fate.'
Anjali & Neelema x x x nils said peace out!!!

This image is hard hitting and there is friction between the guys. We can infer from this picture that the female is a central character and both the male actors are fighting for her love. This relates to our narrative. Also. this particular image represents that women are portrayed as seductive characters. As the image of the female actress is larger than the male actors this demonstrates that the film is not dominated by men.

Introduction...

we are doiing a bollywood trailer called 'Kismat' (Fate). The story is based on a love triangle. this is following the conventions of a Bollywood movie. The trailor would include typical conventions such as:
-dance
-colour
-music directors, artist
Dance and music tend to dominate the trailers and sell the film, for exmaple the trailer of 'Aitraaz' is just playing all the different songs of the film
