1.

It usually takes a lot of effort and a lot of study to make a documentary, I think I have taken a little extra time to make a documentary than others, because the ones I interviewed usually have a hard time getting a schedule, but I believe if I could interview few more directors and one or two heroes it would have been better. I think my argument could have been better if I could have interviewed some of the heroines.

The main part of my documentary is it had a lot of information and the strongest point was the synchronization and insert footage in the right place. Also, I have received the answer the way I actually wanted which helped me a lot to prove my documentary and I believe the strongest part of my documentary was the argument which I proved successfully.

And their people are constantly getting the wrong messages by our mainstream cinema  Target of audience young generation Aging from 20 to 40. So, basically my target audience are the Young People. Who are the consumers and even the young film makers so that cinema as medium gets its salvation? To inspire the young film makers to make good cinema and as a young audience to avoid such misleading information given by the cinema.  So that young people don’t take wrong messages from our Mainstream cinema.     Each Group member role in the production.  1.Director of the Documentary Sifat Nusrat All kinds of research work, and book analysis, book find out, watching and analyzing various mainstream movies, and extracting footage, and contacting the people I will interview, and fixing the date of their interview, and all the writing work and submitting all assignments.
