Vivek Pun- Progress Report

This week we have gotten the most amount of work done so far. Myself and Daljit went to Des Pardes publishing co. and managed to get contact details for Heera, Channi from Alap, and Bahara Panjab diyan. All of the artists listed above have been confirmed for interviews, and the misce-en-scene being used is perfect, as we will be interviewing all of the artists in their studios. Due to the artists confirmed we definetely have a high amount of information regarding the history of Bhangra. We also aim to definetely get hold of 1 or 2 more modern Bhangra artists along with DJ H to include in our documentary which we aim to complete for this week. Me and Daljit have already made a draft of the questions we will be using for the interviews and all the answers will provide the audience with a high amount of information regarding the history of Bhangra. Daljit, myself and Karandeep will be conducting the interviews throughout the week, and we also will attempt to get into contact with artists to arrange even more interviews to add to the documentary. We will also be interviewing normal Indians about Bhangra, and also our secondary audience the white middle class as we aim to see how much they know about the Genre.

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.
