I think the advrse effect of this “camera”, the root of all evils in cinema, the basic cause of the rot in Pak films is really overstated.

I must shatter this myth.

Do you know that most of your videos which are made on 35 mm, such as Abrar’s Jatt or the Jami directed Pal do Pal and Duur among many others, were shot on the same, bad, evil, outdated cameras?

There’s much more to film making than cameras. I agree in one respect though, that you might have to work harder with them but ta good end result is still possible. These videos I mentioned are a prime example.

Good cinema is not made by good cameras. A bad film is going to be a bad film, whether it’s made on the caemras they have now or the super-cool-new cameras they get later on. Cameras aside, the outdated labs and the whole technical support structure for 35mm film making needs a major overhaul. It’s not really all about those darned cameras!

A more prudent approach would be to start working on better scripts and stories, which attract the people’s attention and actually draw them to the theatres.

excellent point BRAVO

now I totally understand what u are sayin and I agree wit u 100%, now I am sorry i couldnt type what I xactly wanted to type as I was in a hurry, lekin khair now I will say what I wanted to
buddy u r totally right about cameras I just wanna say what I know, which is nothing, lately its just been that I really wanna go in film production and direction and I have never taken any courses and cant comment about lightning or cameras; one bad thing that I did c once while I was flippin through channels was that I came on prime TV and they showed an add of this movie which was gonna come out in a week or 2 and the quality of the trailer was so dark and horrible that right there and then u dont care about songs, stories, or even people who work in the movie, cuz if u would have watched the trailer (dont remeber the name) u would have seen that none of the characters video came out nice. Now I think whats goin on in Pakistan is dumb people makin dumb movies with laods of skin show to attract the lower class people, while the more knowledge based and thinking people doin the right thing have stepped in drama production giving it the class and quality and dialogues that u would never c in Indian Dramas.
What we need I think and this in no way is a professional opinion is same as u, get good story lines and kickout all these Meer’as and Reshams who claim they have worked in a 1000+ movies and get some good lookin and talented people in. M ovie business doesnot have to be skin show and for that to happen, ur demographics have to be revised so that we the people, stop watching INidan cinema and work with our own industry, sure it will take time, but some1 has to plant the foot in the right direction for others to work in that direction, and truly then quality qould be presented
Overall once agauin I am sorry I talked bout the cameras but u c I have no knowledge bout them and when some1 doesnt have no knowledge and c’s 2 different videos, one abrar’s and the other a paki movie well than obviously that person would be in a state of shock to know that both vids came out with same camera and a movie which has a larger buget had the crappier end of the vision
Thats why I am planning to goto Pakistan this summer and am tryin to get some numbers and email of production houses and just wanna check it out and if I like it InshAllah I will switch my major to film studies, but at the moment I am so into it that I dunno
lets c
