FAQs

Start by describing the story or message you want the film to convey. Share any initial ideas or themes you have in mind. Encourage the filmmaker to ask questions to better understand your vision and expectations. Having a shared document can help both of you stay aligned on the project's goals.
A project brief should outline the project's objectives, target audience, and desired style or tone. Include details like the shooting locations, timeline, and any specific deliverables you need. Share references or examples of films you like to guide the filmmaker and ensure they capture your vision.
Provide them with insights about local customs, traditions, and any events or places that are significant to the culture. Suggest locations that are iconic in Karnataka, such as Coorg or Hampi, if they align with your project. Sharing cultural references in cinema or literature can also help the filmmaker connect with the local context.
Set clear milestones, such as completing the script, finalizing the storyboard, and scheduling the shooting dates. Regular check-ins can help monitor progress and address any concerns early. Having deadlines for each phase ensures the project moves forward smoothly.
Discuss your preferred visual style, such as cinematic, documentary, or experimental. Share samples or references of films with a similar look to what you envision. Encourage an open dialogue with the filmmaker to combine your ideas with their creative expertise for a cohesive outcome.
Research iconic and visually appealing places in Karnataka that fit your project's narrative. Consider accessibility for your team and equipment while ensuring the location aligns with the story. Consult with the filmmaker, who may have insights or suggestions based on their previous works in the region.
Create a structured feedback process where you provide clear and concise comments. Set up review sessions where you can discuss revisions and make decisions together. Using collaborative tools can streamline communication and ensure both parties are on the same page.
Agree on a detailed shooting schedule that includes dates, locations, and crew availability. Communicate the plan well in advance to all involved parties to ensure everyone is prepared. Revisiting and confirming the schedule as the date approaches will help avoid any last-minute issues.
Provide a detailed narrative about the story's significance and its link to Karnataka. Share local stories or cultural symbols that you want to be highlighted. Having a pre-production meeting in Karnataka to discuss and explore significant locations can offer the filmmaker additional inspiration.
Clearly state what deliverables you expect, such as raw footage, edited film versions, or specific formats. Set a timeline for when each deliverable should be completed and delivered. Ensure both parties understand and agree to the terms to avoid any misunderstandings later.
