How Films Are Made . . .



Hey guys, leo nimeona niongelee kidogo kuhusiana na jinsi gani wenzetu wanavotengeneza na kukamilisha Movie. Tofauti na huku, wenzetu mpaka movie kukamilika inaweza kuchukua hadi mwaka na nyingine mfano Avatar tunaambiwa idea ilikuwepo toka 1995.

Picha huanza pale ambapo Producer (au wakati mwingine Creator) anakuwa na idea ya movie fulani. Idea inaweza kuwa toka kwenye Games, series, movie ya zamani au hata ikawa idea yake mwenyewe ameitunga. Kisha atamtafuta mtu wa kuandika idea yake, Screenwriter. Yeye ataandaa script nzima ya movie na kuboresha jinsi gani maongezi yatakavyokuwa (hatua ambayo inaweza kuchukua hata mwaka). Baada ya hapo hawa majamaa watatengeneza kitu kimoja kinaitwa Film Pitch au Treatment ambapo wataipeleka kwa wadhamini (wanaweza kuwa Studio Productions, investors) ambako kama wakiridhika basi hatua hizi hufuata ;

i) PRE-PRODUCTION
Hii ndo stage ya kwanza kabisa ambako sasa maandalizi ya movie yanaandaliwa. Idea ya movie imetengenezwa, movie rights zimeshachukuliwa, production budget pia inatengenezwa, film crew pamoja na cast wanaajiriwa, location inatafutwa au kama ni set pia inatengenezwa.


  •  The director yeye ni primarily responsible for the storytelling, creative decisions and acting of the film.
  •  The assistant director (AD) Anamsaidia Director kwa kuandaa shooting schedule and logistics of the production, among other tasks.
  •  The casting director Huyu ndo ambaye huandaa audition za kutafuta watu wanaofaa kuigiza katika movie hiyo.
  •  The location manager Yeye hutafuta na kumanage film locations. Ikumbukwe kuwa, most pictures are shot in the controllable environment of a studio sound stage but occasionally, outdoor sequences call for filming on location.
  •  The production manager manages the production budget and production schedule. They also report, on behalf of the production office, to the studio executives or financiers of the film.
  •  The director of photography (DoP) is the cinematographer who supervises the photography of the entire film
  •  The director of audiography (DoA) is the audiographer who supervises the audiography of the entire film. 
  •  The production sound mixer is the head of the sound department during the production stage of filmmaking. They record and mix the audio on set - dialogue, presence and sound effects in mono and ambience in stereo.
  •  The sound designer creates the aural conception of the film, working with the supervising sound editor. 
  •  The composer creates new music for the film. (usually not until post-production)
  •  The production designer creates the visual conception of the film, working with the art director.
  •  The art director manages the art department, which makes production sets
  •  The costume designer creates the clothing for the characters in the film working closely with the actors, as well as other departments.
  •  The make up and hair designer works closely with the costume designer in addition to create a certain look for a character.
  •  The storyboard artist creates visual images to help the director and production designer communicate their ideas to the production team.
  •  The choreographer creates and coordinates the movement and dance - typically for musicals. Some films also credit a fight choreographer



ii)PRODUCTION
Hatua hii inahusu sasa utengenezaji kabisa wa movie. Waigizaji ambao wakuwa tayari wameshafanya mazoezi ( rehearsal) wanapelekwa sasa kwenye actual location au mara nyingi stage with the help of 'Green Curtain Effect' kuigiza mpaka pale Director atakaporidhika na footage ambazo wameshoot siku hiyo.

iii) POST-PRODUCTION
Hii ni stage ya mwisho ambako sasa Film Editor anahusika kwa kiasi kikubwa. Yeye ataenda kuedit movie nzima lakini pia pale ambako patahitajika kuingiza Sound Effects mtu anayehusika pia atashiriki. Baada ya movie kukamilika na kila kitu kuwaridhisha executive producers, basi movie hii hupelekwa kwa Film Distributors ambao wao sasa watahusika na Launch parties, advertisements (including websites), press conference na premier ya hiyo movie.

Movie Qout #01

''Just because you don't believe in the devil does not mean he doesn't exist" Anthony Hopkins 



Friday, May 11, 2012

Wajue Hawa Kwanza. . .

Siku hizi kuna series nyingi sana zilizotengenezwa na zile zinazoendelea kutengenezwa kwa wenzetu. Zipo ambazo bahati mbaya zimekuwa cancelled (ntakuja kutoa article yake) lakini zipo ambazo bado zinatamba. . Now these guys are the ones who are behind them . . . I tried to list series ambazo me mweneyewe naziangalia na najua wengine pia wanaziangalia pamoja na kujua who are behind them. . .

1. J.J Abrams
Huyu jamaa ni most famous producer, writer,composer bila kusahau director. Ni one of my fav linapokuja swala la series au hata movies. Vitu vyake vinakuwa vya ukweli akiwa pamoja na kampuni yake ya BAD ROBOT (kama utakuwa unafuatilia Fringe utakuwa ushaiona, NB; vile visauti vinavyosema bad robot  ni sauti za watoto wake):
i) Alias (Creator)
ii) Lost (Creator)
iii) Fringe (Creator and composer wa ule wimbo mule ndani)
iv) Person of Interest (Producer)
v) Alcatraz (Producer and Composer)
vi) Undercovers (Producer)
But he also directed and produces lots of massive hollywood blockbusters such as Cloverfield, Mission Impossible 3, Super 8, Star Trek etc

2.Chuck Lorre
Naweza kuthubutu kusema huyu jamaa ni genius when it comes to Comedy series. He is also the producer, composer, production manager, writer and ofcoz director.
i) The Big Bang Theory (Creator and Producer)
ii) Two and a Half Men (Creator and Producer)
iii) Mike & Molly (executive producer)

3. McG
Au kwajina lake halisi ni Joseph McGnty Nichol huyu yupo kwenye vitu vingi sana from music videos where he started to movies mpaka kwenye series. Na kusema ukweli jamaa hakosei series zake ni za ukweli wala si zakukosa.

i) The O.C (Producer)
ii) Nikita (Producer)
iii) Supernatural (Producer)
iv) Human Target (Producer)
v) Chuck (Director and Producer)

4.Mike Kelley
Huyu jamaa bado mdogo kwenye hii tasnia ila anazo series ambazo ni za ukweli and worthy a watch
i) Revenge
ii) One Tree Hill
iii) The O.C
iv) Swingtown

5.Stephen Levitan and Christopher Llyod
The writers, producers, directors and most importantly creators of Modern Family. The best comedy series out there and these two genius are behind it . . .

Well thats it for today my friends hope mmeenjoy.

Good Copy Vs Bad Copy

Mara nyingi tunapenda kudownload movie kwenye Torrents lakini kitu kimoja wengi ambacho hawakijui it takes time until the clean copy of that movie its out. Kwa marekani haya makampuni yanayotengeneza movie baada ya kurelease movie kwenye theaters it takes them 6 up to 8 weeks mpaka kurelease DVD version ya hiyo movie. Now usiwe muhanga tena wa kudownload kitu afu unakuta copy ni mbaya kiasi cha kwamba hata picha haionekani vizuri . .

GOOD COPY
Ukiwa unataka movie yoyote hakikisha UNADOWNLOAD kama imeandikwa haya kwenye jina la movie;-


DVDRip (copy inakuwa safi both picture and sound and size ni ndogo pia)
R5 (copy inakuwa clean pia ila sound kidogo quality siyo nzuri sana na size pia inakuwa ndogo pia)
DVDScreen, ( Both sound and picture zipo in good quality sema kidogo size ipo kubwa)
BluRay ( both sound and picture zipo clean kichizi very clean like HD ila size ndo inakuwa kubwa sana)

Note kitu hapa ukikuta movie yoyote imeishiwa na neno Rip (BDRip, HDRip, DVDRip) those are GOOD COPY

BAD COPY

Okey movie ikitoka kule kwa wenzetu kitu cha kwanza ni inazinduliwa kwenye kumbi za sinema kwanza coz huko ndipo wanapopata faida . . It takes time hata zaidi ya miezi mitatu mpaka DVD version yake kutoka. So ukiona movie imeishiwa na hizi USIDOWNLOAD:-


CAM ( worst copy ever both sauti na picha coz wengi wanakuwa wameshoot kutoka theater)
TS (nayo copy inakuwa mbaya kweli yaani full giza)
XVid (hii kidogo picha inaweza kuwa nzuri ila giza bado lipo na utaona watu wakipitapita coz ni ya theater)

So wadau hata kama movie tunahamu nayo vipi ni bora kwenda tu kuangalia theater au kusubiri copy nzuri yake itoke. Now you know . .
