Story of Two Friends - Monkey and the Elephant in a Jungle


In a jungle, there lived two friends - the monkey and the elephant. On an
unusual day, a quarrel broke between them about who was be琀琀er. While the
elephant claimed that it was be琀琀er to be strong, the monkey was stubborn
and that being fast and agile was be琀琀er.
Monkey and the Elephant

same ques琀椀on to him. The owl accepted to answer the ques琀椀on provided
these two have to undergo a challenge.
He said that far away across the river, they need to bring a fruit hanging on a
tall tree that is far away across the river. This task was next to impossible, but
the owl would answer the ques琀椀on only once he had the fruit.
The Monkey and the Elephant went Near the River
What happened next was, that the monkey and the elephant ini琀椀ated their
journey to bring the fruit to the intelligent owl. When the monkey reached the
river, he discovered that the river was too deep and tough to go along the
powerful currents of water. The elephant saw his friend and asked the monkey

intelligent owl with that golden fruit.
Monkey climbed up the Tree and got the Golden Fruit
The owl then asked, "who between you both brought the fruit for me? " The
monkey said he did because he climbed the tree and got the fruit and the
elephant said it was possible because he helped his friend to get onto the
other side of the river.
The wise owl at this point interrupted in between the argument and said, "You
both have your abili琀椀es and strengths.

Moral of the story - Is no one is not superior to the other, individually we are
not very e昀昀ec琀椀ve. However, collec琀椀vely as a team, we can achieve the
impossible. All because you used unity at the right 琀椀me to do the right

Pre-Produc琀椀on Overview:
Pre-produc琀椀on, or "pre", is the phase of planning and execu琀椀on that takes
place before the actual shoot. It's a crucial stage that helps ensure that the
project's vision, goals, and logis琀椀cs align from the beginning. Pre-produc琀椀on
typically includes:
Budge琀椀ng: Crea琀椀ng a budget that covers all expenses, including legal fees,
insurance, and con琀椀ngency funds

Pre-visualiza琀椀on, Pre-ligh琀椀ng, and Pre-composi琀椀on.
Every project is di昀昀erent depending on the budget and the size of the
produc琀椀on, but there are some rela琀椀vely universal guidelines to consider. For
example, you should allocate about 10% to 15% of your total budget to pre-
produc琀椀on.
Pre-produc琀椀on is a crucial phase in media produc琀椀on where the founda琀椀on for
a successful project is laid. This phase involves various key elements such as
personnel management, budge琀椀ng, scheduling, loca琀椀on scou琀椀ng, cas琀椀ng, and
contracts/agreements. Let's break down each of these components:
Personnel Management:

Produc琀椀on Phase Overview: Single Camera Produc琀椀on and Documentary


Produc琀椀on
Single-camera produc琀椀on is a 昀椀lmmaking technique that uses one camera or
mul琀椀ple cameras pointed in one direc琀椀on to capture every shot and angle. The
camera is moved and reset to get each shot or new angle. This technique is
o昀琀en used in documentaries, corporate videos, dramas, comedies, and
narra琀椀ve short 昀椀lms.
During the produc琀椀on phase of a media project, par琀椀cularly in single-camera
produc琀椀on and documentary 昀椀lmmaking, several key elements come into play,
including personnel, equipment, and the overall produc琀椀on process. Let's
delve into each of these components:

Single Camera Produc琀椀on Personnel:


Director: Oversees the crea琀椀ve vision of the project, works closely with the
cinematographer and actors, and ensures that the script is brought to life
e昀昀ec琀椀vely.
Cinematographer/Director of Photography (DP): Responsible for the visual
aspects of the project, including ligh琀椀ng, camera angles, and framing.
Camera Operator: Operates the camera during 昀椀lming, following the DP's
instruc琀椀ons for capturing shots and scenes.
Produc琀椀on Assistant (PA): Assists with various tasks on set, such as se琀�ng up
equipment, coordina琀椀ng logis琀椀cs, and suppor琀椀ng the crew and cast.
Sound Technician/Recordist: Manages sound recording equipment, ensures
high-quality audio capture, and addresses any sound-related issues during
昀椀lming.
Single Camera Produc琀椀on Equipment:
Camera: U琀椀lize high-quality digital cameras suitable for single-camera
produc琀椀on, such as cinema cameras or DSLRs with professional video
capabili琀椀es.
Lenses: Choose appropriate lenses based on the desired shot composi琀椀on and
visual style, including prime lenses for sharpness and zoom lenses for
versa琀椀lity.

Downloaded by Pavithra Neelamegam (pavithraneelu@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|18977803

Tripods/Stabilizers: Use tripods or stabilizers to maintain steady shots and


eliminate camera shake, especially for sta琀椀c or moving shots.
Ligh琀椀ng Equipment: Set up ligh琀椀ng kits, including key lights, 昀椀ll lights, and
backligh琀椀ng, to create the desired mood and enhance visual aesthe琀椀cs.
Audio Equipment: Ensure reliable audio recording equipment, such as lavalier
microphones, shotgun microphones, and audio recorders, for capturing clear
and crisp sound.
Documentary Produc琀椀on:
Research and Pre-produc琀椀on: Conduct thorough research and planning to
de昀椀ne the documentary's subject, objec琀椀ves, themes, and interview subjects.
Interviews and Footage: Conduct interviews with experts, witnesses, or
subjects relevant to the documentary's topic, capturing candid and insigh琀昀ul
responses.
B-roll and Addi琀椀onal Footage: Gather B-roll footage, archival footage, and
supplementary visuals to enhance storytelling and provide context.
Narra琀椀on/Voiceover: Record narra琀椀on or voiceover segments to guide the
narra琀椀ve and provide addi琀椀onal informa琀椀on or commentary.
Edi琀椀ng and Post-produc琀椀on: Edit footage, audio, and graphics to create a
cohesive and engaging documentary, incorpora琀椀ng transi琀椀ons, music, sound
e昀昀ects, and visual enhancements.
The post-produc琀椀on stage involves edi琀椀ng and composing the raw 昀椀lm footage
captured during principal photography to bring the 昀椀lm and story to life on the
computer. This includes edi琀椀ng, sound design, visual e昀昀ects / special e昀昀ects,
color correc琀椀on, 琀椀tles / graphics, and the musical score.
Review and Feedback: Seek feedback from stakeholders, peers, or focus
groups to re昀椀ne the documentary's narra琀椀ve, pacing, and impact.
By leveraging the exper琀椀se of produc琀椀on personnel, u琀椀lizing appropriate
equipment, and following a structured approach to documentary produc琀椀on,
media projects can e昀昀ec琀椀vely capture compelling visuals, authen琀椀c stories,
and engaging narra琀椀ves that resonate with audiences.
