10th episode Machachari

The programe stars with graphics which introduces the children dancing. In most cases a medium shot is used to introduce the actors of the programe. It all commences with a longshot showing Baha, Govi and their sister Stella planning on how to visit Almasi and his siter Joy. A panning is performed from left to right showing Baha and siblings walking in the slums. The next scene opens with joy’s house being zoomed in to an extreme close up. All these camera movements are performed to bring a certain effect. Some like extreme close-up are used to show or reveal the details to the viewer. Another scene opens with a long shot where Almasi, Joy and their maid speak about moving out of the house. From far Baha and Govi can be seen coming towards Almasi’s house (long shot) while on the other side Almasi is given a close up staring. He is zoomed in to extreme close-up and one can tell that for sure he is not pleased on seeing Baha and his brother pay them a visit. This kind of a shot is used to show the emotions that Almasi is filled with. Finally, Baha gets Almasi and he convinces him to leave home with the bike which they want to ride. A tilt shot is performed from the sky to the ground showing Baha holding a bike in the garage from where they want it repaired. A tilt shot is used to create an impression of the activity that is taking place. Before long, Almasi’s father arrives in the garage for a car wash and they take this chance to escape ( a panning is performed from right to left and shows them move while covering themselves with a carpet. At last, Almasi manage to get home before his dad (longshot) walking to the house and finally enters and sleeps on the sofa set (long shot). He is zoomed in to extreme close-up as his dad enters the house and asks what’s wrong with him but he hesitates to answer. The programe ends with nice instrumental music as the names of the credits run up the screen.

Again watching this programe has been wonderful despite the fact that it has consumed a lot of my time. The camera movements were interesting and gave it a nice touch which left me wanting some more. About the sound and sound effects I think the people involved did a good job and that their work is worth compared to other local programes in other TV stations. My words to the people who are aspiring to work in film and production industry: one should always be prepared to face different tasks and so this calls for dynamism. Don’t ever think of limiting yourself to a single task and I can assure you that all will be fine.
