Positive Comments:

Cinematography – People commented saying we made a good use of high and low angle shots whilst filming at the gig in particular.

Mise en scene – On the feedback sheets people commented the place where the gig was filmed was a good location but we failed to cover a more lively audience

Lighting – The lighting used whilst interviewing "DJ H" was very good.

Sound – Popular Bhangra music used which was filmed at the gig, which means a more western audience are more likely to recognise them.


Criticism:

Cinematography – Camera not stable whilst filing no tripod used and too many zooms making it look amateur.

Mise en scene – audience at the gig not live enough, not emphasising Bhangra's popularity.

Lighting – Lightings too dark in some bits making it difficult to see clearly.

Sound – difficult to hear whilst doing the interview with DJ-H despite the good questions and highly relevant answers.


What else would you like to see in this production?

People would like to see more professional looking filming i.e. more use of the tripod given to us e.t.c. People would also like to see the clarity of the sound improve and would also like to see different types of shots applied.They would also like to see a range of things relating to the history of the genre.


What would you like to see for the postproduction editing?

People think we should use Voice overs, and film a greater range of gigs with highly lively crowds to emphasise Bhangra's popularity.

Introduction to our production- House of Bhangra- Vivek Pun

In this documentary i will be working in a group of 5, including, Satvinder, Daljit, Karandeep , Anamul and myself. We aim to provide the audience with information about the development of Bhangra, from merely being sung in the villages of Punjab India into becoming a mainstream Genre with rising popularity amongst a broader Western Audience. We aim to give a greater insight into the genre, through showing exclusive interviews with reknown artist aswell as providing inside information into Bhangra Gigs, aswell as interviews with DJ'S. The history of Bhangra will be covered ranging to the modern increase in popularity in Bhangra, examples include collaborations from PMC with Jayz. Most of the places where these interviews and the Gig footage, will be shot will be at Clubs entitled, New Light and Zoo Bar. Potentional Artists to be interviewed will include, Bobby Friction, Juggy D and DJ H from the Caliber Roadshow. All of the artists listed above are fairly well known to Bhangra listeners and Juggy D in particular is known across a more broader western audience. We also aim to interview Artists who have been involved in the Bhangra Movement from the start of its popularisation in the Western Area, such as DJ's in the Paragon Roadshow. Along with this interviews will be conducted with farily well known Dhol players as this is one of the most Key and well known instruments, associated with the Bhangra Genre.
