Project II Film City
Project Brief
Movies are something we've been obsessed with since the day we learned to understand .
There is not a single person who does not know these mediums. Movies and his cinema
films have always been a part of our lives. It's a fledgling medium in that it took a long
time to blossom, but it's so important in today's world that it's impact on our lives is
undeniable. Even hard movies play a big role in our lives and bring us joy. Our country's
film industry did not prosper as expected. There was a time when people were excited
about the release of a Pakistani movie, but now all the excitement of people is somehow
transferred to Bollywood and Hollywood films. Actors aren't the only ones who make great
movies. It's the work behind it. And doing this kind of large-scale work on the is
particularly resource-intensive. Pakistan’s film industry is unable to support this kind of
resources, degrading the quality of this film industry . For this reason, people are now
drawn to movies in foreign languages. Pakistani film industry could double his excellence.
But what is lacking is technical support. Apart from that, the public and the industry did
not have the proper infrastructure dedicated to the industry. This has caused a great deal of
confusion among the public and has also cast doubt on the quality of the films produced
today. The lack of infrastructure hinders the prosperity of a very potential industry in our
country. A real movie city studio with a suitable facility could be a good starting point for
this industry.
Film City is a studio complex with all the equipment you need to shoot a movie. Film
Development is divided into his two divisions: Technical Development and Creative. Film
City is a film maker with all technical facilities for film production and as a melting pot of
film screen artists in Pakistan for atmosphere, post-production facilities for location shoots
and finally support. Realizing a film city in Pakistan will be one of his approaches to create
a favorable atmosphere for Pakistani cinema. Definitely changing the way movies are made
at Pakistan, serving as a one-stop movie destination. Proper planning and implementation
of services will reduce the cost and duration of filming in Pakistan and enable foreign
filmmakers to make Pakistan a destination for filmmaking.
