How many minutes is a good length for a short film being submitted to a film festival?

September 302009

I am submitting a short documentary to a medium-caliber film festival next month. I can get the film to 30 minutes but do I stand a much better chance of getting in if I shorten it to 20 or 25 minutes?

Honestly, I was going to say 20 to 30 minutes just as you think! It should be like a mini-skirt: "Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to be interesting!" Good luck!!

Which regional accent are Bollywood stars expected to use when they speak Hindi?

Posted in bollywood | 1 Comment »

I read that Mugdha Godse had to tone down her Marathi accent for the role in Fashion. What accent are bollywood stars expected to use? Is it the Dilli accent?

This is a very interesting question. I guess the answer to this question is the Delhi accent, or the general North Indian accent.

A more appropriate answer to this question is the diction should be "free of any accent", or local language influence. You may know that Marathi is a different language. Even some people native to Delhi may speak Hindi with a Punjabi, or Haryanvi accent. Speakers of other languages, like Bengali, Gujrati, Kashmiri, etc, bring their own accents to the language. So, the target is to speak it without an accent.

For example, what accent would a CNN newsreader be expected to have? They should be free from a Southern accent, or a New York accent, and more importantly, Italian or French accent, shouldn’t they?

However, in a movie, it would have made sense to make Mugdha speak in her own accent, which would have made her more real. There are other movies, where actors are made to speak in a regional accent.

What are some horror movies with nursery rhymes?

September 302009

Don’t nursery rhymes in horror films creep you out? Name some good movies with nursery rhymes. For example, A Nightmare on Elm Street has a twisted nursery rhyme:

1,2.. Freddy’ss coming for you.
3,4.. You better lock your doors.
5,6.. Grab a crucifix.
7,8.. You better stay up late.
9,10.. Never sleep again!

"Late last night and the night before, Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers, knocking at the door. I want to go out, don’t know if I can, ’cause I’m so afraid of the Tommyknocker man." That’s the only other one I can think of. None beats Freddy’s though.
