ফিল্ম মেকিং (3 Practicums)

As part of Course Code 2011-223, the two sections of Summer 2025 are instructed to submit the following three Practicums. 

1. 1st Practicum: Each group was given 10 minutes to make a film during BREAK period. Only Section-B could complete the task within time. Section A took excess time, so the screening was cancelled.  
2. 2nd Practicum: Each Section has been divided into 4 groups. Each group will make a Film based on any well-known event in Bangladesh. The process of choosing the topics and scriptwriting has been explained in the class. However, here is a FLOWCHART of the process for clarity.  
3. 3rd Practicum: During the Eid vacation (7 - 12 June), EACH student will make individual films of 5-10 min length. The topics can be anything that is interesting.

Story Plot Thought Character Diction Music Spectacle

These are the 7 most important elements in Film and Theatre. The only difference is that in CINEMA, these elements are RECORDED and REPRODUCABLE. 

There are maybe two types of films. First Type is full of emotion and the audience is filled with emotional outburst and when the film ends there is any thinking that remains for long. This type creates ILLUSION by MESMERISING the audience. 

The Second Type is those films that ask the audience to think, to question, to understand SOCIAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, THEORICAL perspective. The second type makes the audience THINK about the film, long after the film is over. 

While watching a film you must look at the story/plot (they are NOT same), that has three stages of movement. 

1. Opening 2. Middle 3. End

This is a classic STRUCTURE of storytelling. But there can be many variations. 

Also consider the SUBJECTIVE - OBJECTIVE duality of looking and explaining a work of art.  Subjective is orthodox and personal, Objective is impersonal and ANALYTICAL.
