I will also comment on how bollywood is an independent filmmaker and how it has now become mainstream opposed to Blair witch project and what their intentions are.
In the Blair witch project it shows poor quality of graphics and camera techniques throughout the entire film, as this automatically responds to the audience by commenting on the low budget film as there is no proper equipment being used in the film. During the film, the camera constantly films the floor with quick jerking movements when the students run and mess about or argue which do not capture the full effects of what or the plot to the film.
The Blair Witch Project displays great deals of realism just how it displays the poor imagery and shooting, so unprofessional even though the film was an unintended blockbuster, the editing could have been better and the fact that they chose a public environment doesn’t capture the mood of the film and I can imagine how low quality this film would be if they just used the footage that the students caught and had no editing whatsoever.
The realism in this film is displayed with the way the students live their lives, how moody heather is and how childish they all act, what with the arguing and the shouting and fighting with each other. The explicit language and the binge drinking shows that this movie was not made by experts and only the footage that was found had been altered and turned into a film.
A major contrast from Hollywood films.
The film shows poor editing techniques as the entire film is recorded through free hand movement or physical movement instead of appropriate Tripod equipment.
The best thing about Bollywood is that it has its own aspects and tendencies to make really cheesy low budget films and manage to pull them off as successful, appealing stories.
The film Asoka was produced and burned onto DVD in 2003 and when it came out in 2004 it attracted the eyes of many people and is one of bollywoods greatest films.
The atmosphere in the film was enthralling and new to me even though it was very low budget and foreign, just goes to show that bollywood is the only filmmaking industry that can rip a cheesy film with low budget and hardy any techniques and still be able to make a profit from them.
In the film Asoka the bollywood industry is recognised as an independent filmmaker although the professionalism presented within the film has major parody with Hollywood as bollywood uses similar techniques to present to the audience of which bollywood has now become successful and mainstream as Hollywood now has the same ambitions to make money even though the differences between Blair witch and Asoka is their ideas around major successes for their films.
Asoka fulfils expectations for bollywood because they use good props, soundtracks that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, great camera shots and really nice scenery or settings. This is both compulsory and satisfactory for the audiences really.
Lastly the sound that had been recorded in Blair witch wasn’t in good quality as I could hear whispering and laughing and shouting and wind and allsorts of unwanted noises, this contrasts from Hollywood expectations and makes the film look lower budget than anything.
In conclusion Blair witch project presents poor quality film and doesn’t cater to the specifications of Hollywood films but differentiates between bollywood significantly despite them both being independent filmmakers.
Their intentions are completely different as Hollywood and bollywood have ambitions of making money by fulfilling the audiences expectations whereas Blair witch project only has the ambition of producing the film of which no professionalism is shown within the film is shown but realism is shown as it exposes how the cast and crew choose to accommodate themselves the environment they live in and their responses towards each other.
In general Hollywood filmmakers are more successful as their ambitions are mainly focussed on money of which they strive to provide satisfactory and high standards of filming in order to meet the requirements and present to the audiences expectations, a real masterpiece.
