5 steps to make to make your own music video

1.    Get an idea...

First & foremost you must get an idea of making a video song in mind. It’s like the first living cell that resulted into Dinosaurs, mammoth or human being. 

Without it you won’t reach anywhere.

  

2.    Get a song...

An idea will never make a video but a song will, so get a song. Decide your style, genre & emotion you want to convey.

Don’t hesitate to use old or new song. If possible take help of friends, family & colleagues to make new song, right from lyrics to composition to singing.

3.    Get answers to 4 W’s...

It is believed that video first shows then tells, so get answers on what to show, where to show, on whom to show and when to show.

This is the stage where you either win it or lose it.

4.    Shoot it...

Got an idea? Got a song? Got answers to all your W’s? It’s time to hit encounter ground. Take the best camera (gun), put fully charged battery (magazine) and memory card (bullets) into it.         

               Be Brutal, Creatively fast and on killing spree.    

5.    Get it on table...

Once the video has been shot, get it on editing table, giving colour correction, effects & few transitions to polish your final product.

 This is the time you check your imagined video with what has been made.

At last you video is result of all your hard work, determination, planning, honesty, positivity and patience. Then come the last but not least but most important step, Get it trending. It’s of no use if nobody is watching it.

You  may wonder why I had chosen only 5 steps to guide you make YOUR OWN MUSIC VIDEO,  coz no matter how many steps I keep, it’s always about keeping it simple yet attractive. Those who are worried about whether we can pull it as said then my simple answer is just go and watch our song “Meri jaan ki kahani” on youtube or on our facebook page. Believe me guys it’s not that difficult, forget the word impossible.

You don’t need a hi-fi camera, or most techno savvy crew or most famous faces to start your dream run, just you, your belief, an idea to make it and the will to walk till end.

All the very best for your song and do share your experiences, we will be grateful to hear your success story.

BOLLYWOOD CALLING, CAMERA ROLLING & ACTION !!!

“OH MY GOD!!! It’s real, isn’t it? I am at the sets of Hindi Feature Film.” This was my first reaction when I went to the sets of Film. Everyone out there was busy, engaged in their assigned work. We (students of workshop), however, were confused, nervous & anxious. I tried to relax & stayed close to those with whom I feel comfortable. The thoughts and excitement settled down. I gripped my nerves & was ready to rock n roll.

I was given the work to maintain the Continuity Sheet (by the Director!). I was glad to work, to be part of film and be able to do something than standing idly like live audience. I cleared my doubts and was ready to work, to experience the whole new world inside & outside me.  Inside I was curious about each & everything, there were so many Whys and Hows nagging me. Outside it was like every day job. Actors rehearsing, Technicians checking their settings and other staff doing their work dedicatedly. Director came with his final instructions to all. He looked deadly serious. To be honest I could not identify with him, seen him earlier. Once the scene was ready to shoot, he called for Silence. “Camera Rolling”? He asked. “Camera Rolling” was reply from all Cinematographers. “Action”, were his final word. Now this was time when my inner wanna be director peek outside, examining the performances of Actors. I wasn’t happy from what I saw. I looked for Directors decision. He called for retake. I was jumping inside with his decision matching mine.

Fortunately & luckily the shoot was of one scene only. So it was wrapped within 2 hours with small appearance of rain. I had got enough for day/evening and had enough queries to be answered. After we pack up, I felt little experienced. Now I was more comfortable relaxed & at my ease with cast & crew. My workshop colleagues were also happy with experience. We were in car, leaving for flat. This was the time for my unanswered queries to get answers & explanations. My doubts were easy to answer, quite obvious for first timer. Director explained me everything with proper examples.

Then it was time for celebrations, to celebrate my first shoot, my first feel of being part of Hindi Film Industry (Bollywood). I bought Ice-cream, family pack for everyone- my three flatmates including the Director, Cinematographer & Art Director.

I had two thoughts in my mind when i crashed on my bed at late night: Well begun is half done & all well that’s end well- sweet & cold.

Next day...and The Next Day

Hey friends...this blog is in continuation to my previous blog, so please read "Atlast It Begins" first if you have not read it yet.

Next day, 

                  I woke to realise previous night was not a dream sequence. I did my morning/noon stuffs and waited for Dad to tell me more about that Producer and Mom to have little more conversation on what we have discussed earlier night. But for some reason, they were not keen to resume the talk from where it was paused or stopped (I was in doubt).

Noon became evening and evening turn dark but my Mom’s daily household works were not even near to finish line. Dad was out for whole day except for evening tea and returned with Balika Vadhu(She ‘s on reel, He was in real).

                    All the excitement, nervousness & anxiety turns pale. Nothing helped me to hide or dilute my disappointment, except 30 mins of TWO & HALF MEN serial. And the worst part was that nobody bothered. It was a lesson for me that if you over think about anything don’t mean it will happen your way. So my much awaited next day was short, unfruitful & painful.

The Next Day, 

                    “Why you are not ready?” “We are supposed to meet Mr. Moreshwar Meshramji(that Producer) at 12 pm”, my Dad said to me when i was having my morning tea at 11:45 am. “But you never told me anything about meeting”, I replied putting my cup down & searching for shirt. “Oh.. I might have forgotten, I met him yesterday (i.e. Next Day of “that” night) and took appointment for today (i.e., the Next Day of “next Day”) ”. “Might have Forgotten!!!” I exclaimed (Under the Rule of Manners & Education I can’t shout at him.) Nothing screws you like such excuses.

                  We were 15 min late & in waiting queue to meet him. It took another 1and half hour to enter his cabin. Then it was three of us. He seemed happy from his morning, tea & work. I missed most of my morning, had little tea & no work. He knew my name & qualification. So he directly jumped to point. What you want to do & what you expect from me?” were his simple questions. I said I want to become writer –director and want you to give me some work for experience. And our conversation started. For next 10-15 mins, it was like only two of us existed there inside his cabin.

He told me about his elder son, who is directing a Hindi feature film & has organised workshop on Cinematography & Editing. The participants will be given chance to work in that Film as trainee or Assistant. These were the words that made my day, I reached the location & movie set in my fantasies, but in real it was long way to go.

                  It was said “Don’t Trust people at first meet” but Me & Dad has always skipped this thought and we trusted him. While leaving his office thought came to my mind- “We had a dream, We have a path & We will succeed in future”.

At last...It Begins

At last It Begins…

Have you ever imagined the day It will start. It means your dream run, your first step towards what you have been dreaming consciously & sub consciously, if yes then let me tell you it won’t happen that way. It never happened that way to anyone and you are not an exception.

I was doing usual facebook, twitter & checking my mails when log onto Quickr.com & searched for jobs a script writer (this may shock many). I find some interesting jobs and replied to few of them. To my surprise I got a call from some producer who wanted to go through my story, but the call was answered by my mom. She was shocked and asked for explanation over my day dreaming. I guessed it was time to reveal my dreams to parents, so I told them everything about my dreams to make it into HINDI Film industry.

They were stunned or numbed I don’t know exactly but there was silence for few minutes. Out of curiosity I asked them what happened? Asked my mom if she thinks I can do this? Asked my Dad what he thinks of all this? I was anxious, nervous & scared. It was longest few seconds of my life and then “Nothing is impossible and you can do this” were words my mom said. They were not just words then. “But you must work hard” she added. I was into another world. To be honest I was taken aback by her boldness & confidence on me. “My friend knows a producer, would you like to meet him & talk” my dad asked. I was still in glorifying effect of mom’s word and Dad bombed me. I was stunned & numbed. Both. For a moment I thought they misunderstood me, because no parents has ever said this words when their son says what I said. OMG!!!

And then the moment passed. I was still lingering into their words. It was an inexplicable feeling. I was happy for sure but at a same time anxious, scared & out of world. Whole night the scene was playing before my yes. That night I understood how important it is for you to have someone who believes in your belief. That night I loved my parents little more, respect them more, adore them more, idealize them more, owe them more.

Given a chance to write this scene as fiction, even then I could not have make it happen this way. It was above all. Some one has rightly said “Truth is always stranger than fiction”

So at last it began, my dream run. One day this blog will go into my biopic or stays here just as another blogs. Time will tell what prevails. Stay connected to know what happens next day.

Song for All Moods Of Love!!!

It was around 7:00 pm in the evening. Radio Mirchi 98.3 fm was playing a remix songs from album. One particular song was sung by the girls of these 4 coupes at different places but at same time.

Here is what happened, particularly during this song & Who sang What for Whom & How….

Raj & Rupali were in Canteen when Radio played the song & Rupali couldn’t stop herself from singing few lines for Raj & she sang holding his hand & expressing her emotions through words of song

Tum jo mil gaye ho

To yeh lagta hai

Ke jahan mil gaya

Ke jahan mil gaya

 Ek bhatke huye rahi ko

Caravan mil gaya

Karan & shruti were in autorickshaw, they just had their usual fight. Both were neither talking nor looking in same direction, he to the left she to the right.shruti was to words of song playing on auto’s radio & suddenly she thought over that & repeat the words again, this time she meant each & every word

Baitho na door humse

Dekho khafa na ho

Baitho na door humse

Dekho khafa na ho

Kismat se mil gaye ho

Milke jooda na ho

Kismat se mil gaye ho

Milke jooda na ho

Meri kya khata hai

Hota hai yeh bhi

Ke zamee se bhi kabhi

Aasama mil gaya

Ke jahan mil gaya 

Gauri sang for Vijay and he listened her carefully holding her hands, walking slowly

Tum kya jaano tum kya ho

Ek soorila nagma ho

Bheegi raaton me masti

Tapte din me saaya ho

Tum kya jaano tum kya ho

Aab jo aa gaye ho

Jaane na doonga

Ke mujhe ek hasin

Mehrabaan mil gaya

Ke jahan mil gaya

Tum jo mil gaye ho

To yeh lagta hai

Ke jahan mil gaya

Ke jahan mil gaya

Deepak was playing Table Tennis in Sports Hall, Ashwini entered the hall listening radio on her mobile. Both exchange glances & continue their communication through thoughts. Ashwini felt the words she was listening to & humm

Tum bhi the khoye khoye

Mein bhi boojha boojha

Tum bhi the khoye khoye

Mein bhi boojha boojha

Tha ajnabi zamana

Apna koi na tha

Tha ajnabi zamana

Apna koi na tha

Dil ko jo mil gaya hai tera sahara

Ek nayi zindagi ka nishan mil gaya

This remix song is sung by Suman Shridhar (Bartender mix)...Those who haven't listen this song yet they must  listen it and after reading this post please you too listen it again, this time you will picture all these couples & know what i meant to say.

Moods Of Love

Chap # 2

7.00 am

“Wake up You Ass, its 7:00 am. Brush your teeth and rush towards canteen”, Shruti yells at Karan.

“You were supposed to wake me at 6 and don’t call me thaaaaatt”, Karan yawns as he get up from bed.

“Oh really…Idiot I called you at 6 but you were busy in snoring and fantasizing girls”, Shruti answered brushing her hairs & clutching them in bow.

“How am I supposed wake up early after sleeping at 3 and that too you dancing over my head for whole night”, Karan said putting his brush into mouth.

“As if I had the best time of my life with you”, Shruti said sarcastically.

“Now finish your stuff and reach their A.S.A.P”, Shruti has final words.

                                      They never greet each other with formal “Good morning” they find it waste of time but never missed their breakfast too. The one who comes late pays the bill is their deal. No prize for guessing who paid most of bills. (Karan being gentleman never let lady pay bill.)

7:00 am

“Goooooddd Mooorrninnggg!!!” Rupali greeted Raj, adding her cheerful laugh.

“Goood Moorningggg, Dear!!!” Raj responds with much energy & charm.

“So you didn’t went for gym??”Rupali throws a taunt.

“I thought I am strong enough to protect you & I don’t need to impress anyone else”, Raj replied.

Both laugh as their morning ritual.

                                      They both knew how to start a day. They always manage to sound cheerful, lively and energetic. Most important thing for them is to see other happier, blissful and far away from sorrows.

***

7:00 am

“Heyyy Good Morning Hottie”,Vijay wished Gauri as he hugs her little tightly.

“Same to you Darling”, Gauri replies taking his cheeks in palms.

“I missed you so much, it’s like I haven’t seen you for year”, Vijay says holding her palm.

“For me labor pain could be milder than this longing misery”, Gauri utters as they start jogging. “But now that you are here and we are together my new day has actually begun”, Gauri adds as they jog holding hands.

                                      Every morning they meet as they haven’t seen each other for ages. They greet each other, walk, jog and play basketball together just to make sure they don’t miss a bit of each other.

***

7:00 am

Deepak wakes up alarmingly, looks at watch. “Oh shit…I am late”, he utters banging fist on bed.

He jumps out of his bed, put brush into mouth & then realizes he forgot to put paste on it but continues anyway.

“Holy shit, How can I sleep like a donkey, she must have reached their, she never comes late and today I will miss her glimpse when she comes to canteen”, Deepak abuses himself while brushing teeth & washing mouth. He then rushes towards canteen.

“Why he is not here yet? He never comes late? Oh god today I will miss his first glimpse of morning”, Ashwini talked to herself standing at porch of canteen.

Deepak enters canteen with hairs messed up, two different slippers in both legs and little puppy following him. Everyone starts laughing but AShwini felt embarrassed so she just smiles to accompany others.

“Wowww…she is laughing and looking so beautiful”, Deepak thought as he realizes his situation. “I could do anything just to keep her laughing & happy”.

“He is looking so cute with those hairs and so charming on those slippers, I wish I could do anything like that for him, to make him laugh & keep happy”, Ashwini talked to herself.

Moods Of Love...

MOODS OF LOVE

11.30 PM

It’s Over!!! He exclaimed, anger garnishing his words.

Good. Good for me, I was fed up of you, she replied with an equally irritated voice.

He was perplexed.” Even i couldn’t bear you anymore”, he said on the spur of the moment.

Fine. You Ass, she said.

Fine. And don’t you dare you dare to call me that again, he added.

Both hang up.

                                       This was their usual call of routine nights. Sharing similar feelings were always the main characteristic of their relationship. To overshadow each other, to prove other wrong, to have same passion made their chemistry sparkle.

Karan and Shruti were together since their jr. college days. They knew each other more than they knew themselves. However they never said they Love each other. Well, they don’t have to.

Playful

Chap# 1
 

11.30 pm

“Hey... listen, it’s too late you must go to sleep now, i don’t want to see dark circles around your beautiful eyes”, he requested.

“Okay, but first you go to sleep, you have to wake up early for gym”, she replied.

“No...First you hang up the phone”, he insisted.

“Noooo... you first”, she said obstinately faint smile embraces her face.

“Ok...ok...we both hang up on count of 3”, he suggests.

“Done”, she affirms.

He starts counting”One  Twooo Threeee ”, he looks at mobile screen to check if she hanged up.

“You there???” he asks.

“Yeah...”she answered.

Both Laughs.

                                 This is just the beginning of their late night conversations. Smile connects people, in their case Smile connected & Laughter held them. They are Raj & Rupali, their playfulness defines their relation. They have had any fights or disagreements or even misunderstandings. They have only laughter and innocence and playfulness.

Fevicol Jodi

Chap# 1
 

11.30pm

Their palms kissing, hands hugging and eyes interlocked. He holds her hand near his chest, near his heart. Both are walking snail’s way.

“I hate this place where I have to leave you”, he said with little disappointment.

“It will be for few hours, Honey”, she says soothing him.

“I wish we live together forever”, he continues kissing her hand.

“We will”, she laughs.

“Amen”, both said & he cuddles her.

Watchman blows whistle, signals him to leave. He takes his mobile & dial a number. He chooses “video call”

“Hey... Hi!!! See I am already missing you”, he says touching her cheeks on his mobile screen.

“Oh, Vijay, How sweet of you???” she replied.

“Much lesser than you, Gauri”, he adds.

                                    “Fevicol jodi” is their name in college because they find it too difficult to stay away from each other. It’s not his lust or her being nymphomaniac but just their way of sharing love & loving each other.

Silence…

Chap# 1
 

11.30 pm

He is reading a novel; no he is blankly at page no 29-30.

“She must be reading this novel with specs which make her look even more beautiful.” Deepak has pictured Ashwini in his thoughts. He knew every single thing about her.

“He must be reading this novel”, Ashwini said to herself gazing at page no 29-30 of same novel which she is holding in hands with specs over nose & mind towards Deepak.

“Is she thinking of me?? Has she thought of me?? Will she ever think about me??” Deepak asks his daily question to himself.

“Is he thinking of me?? Has he thought of me?? Will he think of me, ever??” Ashwini asks this question to herself every night since she has seen him.

Both keep thinking & talking to themselves.

                                        They are classmates. They love each other a lot. But he too shy to express his feelings & she is too scared of saying anything, so they choose silence for communication. They don’t need words to express feelings or emotions. They communicate with eyes & through self talk. By no means they are connected but by every mean they are made for each other & love each other.

                                      

All I want is ma Sutta...

All I want is ma Sutta…

 (dedicated to all my Smokers Friends!!!)

All I want Is ma Sutta, chahe duniya kahe mujhe Kutta

Be it killing frustration or Die hard Celebration

All I want Is ma Sutta, chahe duniya kahe mujhe Kutta

But all I want Is ma Sutta…

(For gals who hate us)

You ask me reason, It’s ma Passion

You ask to quit, I will leave you witch

You can cry I don’t care, you may leave its ma Pleasure

All I want Is ma Sutta, chahe duniya kahe mujhe Kutta

But all I want Is ma Sutta…

Review: Agneepath (movie)

Adaptation of Original Agneepath(1990), this film gives you good story with power pack performances.

This is a story of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (Hrithik) and his revenge from Kancha China(Sanjay Dutt).

Mr.Dinanath is a teacher in school of Mandva, who wants to develop this village; but Thakur wants to stop him so he called his Son Kancha to stop Dinanath. Kancha who is evil minded, wants to start his business of drugs killed Dinanath & set his home on fire leaving no other choice for 12 years old Vijay & his pregnant mother but to escape. Now young Vijay only wants his revenge and village back from Kancha. Vijay moved to Mumbai city where he meets Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor) who is master of Mumbai Underworld. Rauf didn’t allow Kancha to setup his business in Mumbai, and meanwhile Vijay manages to enter Rauf’s gang. After 15 years Vijay has planned how he will re-enter Mandva & take his Revenge. Vijay becomes head of Rauf’s gang and make an agreement with Kancha to allow him to start his business in Mumbai. Kancha wants to kill Asst. Commissioner Mr.Gaitonde (Om Puri) before capturing Mumbai and ask Vijay to kill him, but Vijay didn’t kill Gaitonde. Eventually Kancha knows about Vijay and why he wants Mandva. At the end Vijay enters Mandva to finish things & take his Revenge.

This remake has lots new things which brings freshness and lacks few things. Sanjay Dutt as Kancha and Rishi Kapoor as Rauf Lala are best part. Sanjay did scare you with his Bald look and Evil laugh. Hrithik fails to impress as Vijay. 2^nd half could have been better, especially Climax. Priyanka has no significant role but adds glamour. Action scenes are better but emotional scenes bores you and appear unnecessary.

In short it’s a good movie of recent time, Must watch & treat for Sanjay Dutt’s fan. He has given his best performance of recent time.
