Since you have already made som many films you have a ready showreel. You would have also developed a few contacts. Selling a film to a financier is like making a project report and going to a bank for funding your project. The bank funds depending on your capability to deliver and the comfort zone they have with you. Register your script and then make a great brochure with the story idea including who you plan to have in the cast and credits. Make a detailed break up of your costings and expected recoveries. Your costing should include all details of number of days, locations etc. We are all aware of the corporates like UTV, UFO, Pyramid Saimira, Adlabs, Percept. PVR, etc. Find a contact and talk to them The other way out is make the film, with your own funds, using a cheap DV camcorder like a Pd 170. The cost of production shouldnt be too high, If well planned. If the product is good any of these corporates may fund you to make it again in a better format.

Question Answer
hi this is rakesh here i want to shoot a shortfilm on terrorism but i have a handycam to shoot fr,wll it be suitable fr it.actually iwant to shoot it in the night bt i dont have much lighting equipment thas why to shoot in daylight because of the grains.hw should i make it dark like night so that it looks quite good according to the situation.i want to send it to some shortfilm festival can u sujest any.and lastone hw to put it on you tube.thanks

- RAKESH
Handycams can shoot in ambient light. There is no solution to low light conditions except adding some lighting sources. Why don’t you carry an electric sungun for the shoot. You also have an option of sing a 150w portable light which draws power from the car battery. You can shoot in the day and add a tint to make it look like night in post production. You should consult an editor before you shoot. we feel it might not get the actual night impact one may want.

Subject : TRANSFERING DV SHOT MOVIE TO 16 MM
Question Answer
Hello Sir,rgds,sir i have a lil query and need ur kind suggestion for it..i had made a cd movie shoted by pdf12..i wan to release that on cds but as on ppls reconmendations now i wan it to be shown inn theatre first..is it possible to transfer movie on 16 supr16 or 35mm..plz tel the adresses of persons regarding this and the cost for transfering the movie to atleast 16mm.... regards Tanmay Shrivastava

- TANMAY SHRIVASTAVA
It is possible to do a reverse telecine(blow up to 16 or 35mm) but your quality from CD after blowing up would be very poor and watchable. The reverse telecine obviously depends on the place you do it in. It would cost you about Rs 11000/ minute + cost of sound transfer for a place like Prasad labs in Chennai. The exact costs / packages could be worked out once you know for sure your final project. You could connect with Mr Ramesh Meer, the fx factory, they give great packages. His contact details are as under: Ph : 09869265068 Email : thefxfactory@gmail.com

Question Answer
how can i prepare myself for ftii enterance exame

- ANIL KUMAR
One cannot really study for preparing for FTII. Most of the time, the questions asked their relate to your observation skills. They actually try to guage your passion for cinema. For eg one of the examinees wanted to be a sound recordist. He was from a small place in Punjab. The examiner asked him about what did he find in the fields of Punjab. The examiner expected to know about what he saw as well as what he heard. The best way is to visit the campus, hang around there, meet students there and get an idea of what they went through. You will also get a feel about the place. 1takemedia.com is pleased to announce its 2nd film competition, after the stupendous success of its first film competition in October.

One cannot really study for preparing for FTII or SRFTI. Most of the time, the questions asked their relate to your observation skills. They actually try to guage your passion for cinema. For eg one of the examinees wanted to be a sound recordist. He was from a small place in Punjab. The examiner asked him about what did he find in the fields of Punjab. The examiner expected to know about what he saw as well as what he heard. The best way is to visit the campus, hang around there, meet students there and get an idea of what they went through.

Making films is a full time job and without the right people you may land up losing your money without any serious results at hand. the budget for a regional rajasthani movie could be about Rs 20 lakhs including all costs. There are many things required to make a film. Replying it within a few words would be a mockery of the film making process. See to it that the first person (exec producer/line producer) you choose should be a good administrator and ethical. Choose a person who has good knowledge about the industry and understands your goal. If you feel that your thoughts match, then go about making the rest of the team, with him.

Subject : FUNDS.
Question Answer
as an indipendent film maker, how does someone get funds in india for a film. NFDC dosn't sound promicing, what are the other options for experimental filmmakers to gain funds? thanks.

- YASH
The difference between a film maker and a producer is that a producer is a businessman and a film maker knows how to make films with passion without regard to its financial inputs/outputs. Its more important to be a producer than a film maker though a combination of both is ideal. Selling a film to a financier is like making a project report and going to a bank for funding your project. The bank funds depending on your capability to deliver and the comfort zone they have with you. Register your script and then make a great brochure with the story idea including who you plan to have in the cast and credits. Make a detailed break up of your costings and expected recoveries. Your costing should include all details of number of days, locations etc. We are all aware of the corporates like UTV, UFO, Pyramid Saimira, Adlabs, Percept. PVR, etc. Find a contact and talk to them. The other way out is make the film, with your own funds, using a cheap DV camcorder like a Pd 170. the cost of production shouldnt be too high, if well planned.if the product is godd any of these corportes may fund you to make it again in a better format. All the best
