Filmy Sounds

Sound in Indian Films
=================

Sound in films is not a new thing .
But a proper understanding of this field is still a new thing .....

Films on early days .....

Seeing people walking and doing actions .... Not in real life ... But on a white screen ... Wow .....
But the WOW effect was not lasted for long ....

Something was missing , and it was "SOUND"....

Talkies .....

Now people are no more interested in just seeing things or Musicians playing in the side to create mood.
They lost the love in once WOWed upon thing -- the Silent movies ...

The Silence was broken once and for all ...

We need the screen to speak ...
We need to hear new sounds ...
We need to hear the people in the screen ....

Music and Sound .... Makes the picture complete .....

But why Sound is not given importance ?
Why Sound is given the least importance ?

Sound Credits are scrolling some where invisible,
where as every one knows Direction , Editing , Cinematography, Music Direction , Acting ....

Sound as a department itself dint exist among Indian Audience until recently a man from a small village in Kerala , pulled India's name to the Oscars by winning the Best Sound Mixing in 2010 ....

Its non other than Resul Pookutty

Since then many people came to know that there is something called Sound Department which works behind the Screens which is the main reason for all the sounds we hear in Television and Movie Theaters ....

I myself was interested in working in Films from my School days .
I used to think that Music Director is the one who make all the sound recording , and also music in films .

We are happy that one man got the opportunity to change this illiteracy among many and now many including me are dreaming to learn the technique of Sound Recording ....

FTII , the best institute in India for film studies have reported a huge increase in applications for Sound Engineering since 2010 .

I gave my first try in FTII on 2010 , when i was not able to get through .

Since then my way of watching movies have changed .
I just dont watch a movie , I hear a movie ....

I never saw a critic reviewing on a movie technically
In fact not much people would love to read such reviews .

But i felt we should reciew a movie with respect to every aspect
Its a project which is struggld by manyyy people .

So we cant just judge or review a movie on the Directorial or Acting part.

I have started writing this blog on a intention to review movies with respect to Sounds .

Hope to start coming up with many reviews soon ...
