RED Camera The Real Independence

By now I am sure that most of you have heard of the new RED camera. It’s an ultra high definition camera produces amazingly high definition quality content with its available options like 2k and 4k and these guys are not just stopping themselves here; they recently planning to launch a 23K.
Red Digital Cinema Camera Company, funded by Oakley sunglasses founder Jim Jannard. This has given lots of opportunity to the independent film makers in USA, London, and even in east Asia- like Singapore to shoot high definition content and save money.
But in India Independent producers are still awaiting for the camera, A Red camera with a 2k resolution is available around in 150000 INR outside of India, but still not available in India. Documentaries which are now accepted by Discovery and National geographic television are only shot with High definition camera. As independent Producer I found it expensive on my pocket.
A Red Camera is fine with a resolution of 4k it allows you to shoot images with the shallow depth of field for which 35mm cameras are known. Saving lots of cost of Raw Stock however there is been a lot of speculation about losing the resolution when you go to post but the kind of work I have seen doesn’t prove this. Many says if you save money on raw stock you will end up spending money in the post even that is not true it will cost you the same as in the case of a film but you won’t be ending up spending more money
And a Red Camera with 2K resolution is great for the content producers aiming towards the Television one can use the film lens to shot the content the camera body has dimensions of 12.02″ long x 6.34″ tall x 5.2″ wide and weighs in around 10 lbs. That makes it light and portable enough for almost all your film making needs.

Cinema and you

Hi I am Abhishek Bhardwaj - Well, i will share the information i have earned during working for the films, production houses in India.

In India there is only one institute which is called- 'National institute of Film and Technology Pune' with only 20 seats available its very hard for the cinema lover to get an admission into this institutes, and unlike western country our university doesn't offer any courses related with film making for an example MA in film making.

Yes there are courses but that have been attached with course like Journalism, now that is very absurd to do a journalism course only because your want to direct or produce a film.

Government and university of India filed to recognize that Film Making is completely different stuff and required different energy,enthusiasm and certainly creative freedom. In the journalism first thing is to compromise, look where the TRP is and then find or create a news or create a show according to the what your creative head suggests

Then there are Many private institution who claims to teach you the film making but fee structure is very high and sometimes its very hard for the cinema lover and people at large to afford their fees.

There is no single guidelines which can take a cinema lover to try his or her hand into the film making, or turn his or her dream into reality. I will share the information i have earned form by working for years in this field.
