Amrita TV’s Projector is a clear-sighted film review
programme that checks out the latest lab-fresh movies to hit the screens and
estimates the watch-worthiness of the new releases by a 360 degree all- round exploration
of its key elements. It will be telecast every Sunday at 7.30pm.
The opening
segment Black and White starts
off by unwrapping the bare bones of the
story and hinting at the direction in which the tale is heading, without giving
away the plot high points or the climax. It then gives a critical appraisal by
taking stock of the artistic merit and
mass appeal of the movie. Most reviewers
take it upon themselves to help the viewer make up his mind by praising the
flick to the skies or panning it to
shreds . Projector travels along a novel route by presenting both the pros and
cons of the release and then leaving it to the viewer to judge for himself
whether the film is a must- view or can
be given the go- by. 3 white or positive aspects of the movie are balanced with
3 black or negative points, using scenes and dialogues from the cinema to
support the arguments. By not forcing the critic’s views
upon the viewer or attempting to colour his opinion Projector
takes a fair, even –handed approach to
movie reviewing .
Nagra,
the next segment concerns itself with a feature that is at the heart of every
cinema-its song sequences that can spell the difference between a hit or a flop. The catchiest
numbers of the brand new motion pictures are introduced and analysed in terms
of its hummability, melody, composition, picturisation, its role in developing
the story and so on. The music is then graded and the top 5 songs of each
week are picked out.
Final Cut is the
3rd segment of the programme in which it is the turn of an expert to have his say. A well-known celebrity from
the film fraternity voices his opinions on one of the releases . He rates it on
a scale of 1-10, defending his score
with reasons and justifications and convincing the audience with the soundness
of his explanations.
By combining
expert estimation with impartial summarization and balancing the favorable with
the adverse, Projector takes the
critical art of film reviewing to new heights.
