MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION JOURNAL






















FEATURE FILM IN HINDI AND ENGLISH

The story is set in a small township which is located in a vast landscape with a backdrop of blue hills. This township is in the heart of Nature and the wilderness..There is a thick forest with tall trees very close to the town where probably cutting and logging of wood goes on..

There is a gurgling river flowing through the forest and there are also beautiful natural ponds and lakes in the jungle. Farming is the most important activity here. Vast open fields abound all around where a small cycle can cut through the rough tracks between the fields...

The township is connected to the city through a train line running through the fields and agricultural lands...

The township has different kinds of people...not only the poor agricultural farmers, labourers’ and workers, but also some retired city people, a few rich families and some government employees and even occasional visitors.

OUR LOCATION SKETCH

1. A Small Town/Suburban/Rural train station–the railway line should be traversing through large agricultural lands and green fields.

2. An Old House/A Bungalow- a two storied old bungalow (not modern day constructions) on plain ground enveloped by few tall trees. The Bungalow has big windows, a wooden front door, stairs from inside and two separate floors connected by a staircase. The Bungalow is old –from the outside it is rundown and aging. Upper floor has a hall –a study, and another room or two maybe. Ground floor has a big hall with windows.

3. A Very Small House/A small shack-just one room but windows on all 4 sides-and doors on front and back. The Shack maybe made of tin metal/stone –it’s in an isolated landscape and having large fields or open landscape around it…there are wood logs around this house. There may be a broken wooden or bamboo boundary around this house.

4. An Old Upper Class/ Zamindar’s House- A bungalow like the old British Bungalows –the bungalow is in the woods or is covered by trees and is old from outside. The Bungalow can be made of stone or wood or even concrete but it should look old –it may also be covered by moss and creepers –and should have the feeling of aging. The Bungalow may look like an old British mansion or an old Haveli. Interior should have very good furniture and should be very well furnished. Large well ventilated rooms-big windows and good furniture –antique and old.

5. Government Office structure - a small concrete or mud or stone structure like a village house with sloping roof which functions as a small government office. An office with 2-3 small rooms-with good wooden windows and doors-there is some old furniture- tables and chairs-bureaus. This office is located close to green fields. On opening any of the windows one sees lush green fields.

6. A Dairy Farm- the house can be made of mud or stone –with sloping roof and windows-where there are 2-3 sections-a cowshed for the cows and other animals, a small house and maybe another shed for storing hay etc.. It should be in an isolated area. The house may have some trees around. The house should be on plain ground.

7. Lush Green fields on plain land with a backdrop of hills. The grass should be tall and wavy.

8. Village Houses-made of mud or stone.

9. A Small Town with tiny gullies, streets and many lanes and bi-lanes-with small shops.

10. A Flowing River in a jungle or through a mountain-the river bank should have tall trees and the depth of water should be at least 5-7 feet deep. The water should be clear and transparent-for one or two underwater shots.

11. A Thick Forest with tall –thick trees –creepers and lot of undergrowth between trees.

12. A lake in a jungle with water at least 4-5 feet deep-surrounded by trees.

13. An old Factory
