Cinematographer is needed in Bangladesh.

Shooting a video for your Drop Shoulder T-Shirts in Dhaka, Bangladesh, can be an exciting and visually stunning project. Dhaka’s vibrant culture, bustling streets, and unique blend of old and new architecture provide the perfect backdrop for a storytelling video that combines vintage vibes with a futuristic twist. Here’s a complete direction for your shoot:


Concept:

The video will tell the story of a “time-traveling tee” that bridges the past and future. It will showcase the shirt’s vintage roots while highlighting its futuristic appeal, set against the dynamic and contrasting landscapes of Dhaka.


Locations:

  1. Old Dhaka (Past Vibes):
    • Lalbagh Fort: A historic Mughal fort with ancient architecture, perfect for showcasing the vintage side of the tee.
    • Ahsan Manzil: The iconic pink palace offers a regal, old-world charm.
    • Star Kabab: A legendary eatery with retro vibes, ideal for a casual, nostalgic scene.
    • Narrow Alleys of Old Dhaka: Capture the raw, authentic energy of the city’s past.
  2. Modern Dhaka (Future Vibes):
    • Hatirjheel: A sleek, modern area with bridges, water, and futuristic lighting.
    • Bashundhara City Mall: Use its glassy, contemporary architecture for a futuristic feel.
    • Gulshan/Dhanmondi Rooftops: Capture the skyline with high-rise buildings and neon lights.
    • Uttara or Purbachal: These areas have a more planned, modern aesthetic.
  3. Transitional Spaces:
    • Sadarghat River Port: The chaotic yet beautiful river port symbolizes the blend of old and new.
    • Street Markets (New Market or Gulistan): Show the hustle and bustle of Dhaka’s vibrant street life.

Shooting Plan:

Scene 1: The Past (Old Dhaka)

  • Opening Shot: A slow-motion shot of a model walking through the narrow, bustling streets of Old Dhaka, wearing the drop shoulder tee paired with vintage denim. The camera focuses on the shirt’s texture and design.
  • Action: The model stops at a chai stall, interacts with locals, and enjoys the simplicity of the past. Use warm, golden tones to emphasize the vintage vibe.
  • Details: Close-ups of the shirt’s fabric, stitching, and drop shoulder design, with shots of historic landmarks in the background.

Scene 2: The Transition (Sadarghat River Port)

  • Action: The model boards a traditional boat (nouka) at Sadarghat, symbolizing a journey through time. The camera captures the contrast between the old boats and the modern cityscape in the distance.
  • Visuals: Use a drone shot to show the river’s vastness and the city’s skyline, blending past and future.

Scene 3: The Future (Modern Dhaka)

  • Action: The model arrives in a futuristic setting (Hatirjheel or Bashundhara City). The same tee is now styled with sleek, modern accessories like metallic sunglasses or a smartwatch.
  • Visuals: Use cool, blue tones and neon lighting to create a futuristic atmosphere. Show the model walking confidently through the modern landscape, with the shirt standing out as a timeless piece.
  • Details: Close-ups of the shirt’s design, emphasizing its versatility and how it fits seamlessly into any era.

Scene 4: The Blend (Street Markets)

19:36

  • Action: The model explores a vibrant street market, blending into the crowd. The shirt is now paired with a mix of vintage and modern elements, symbolizing its ability to transcend time.
  • Visuals: Use dynamic, fast-paced shots to capture the energy of Dhaka’s streets, with the shirt as the constant focal point.

Closing Shot:

  • The model stands on a rooftop at sunset, overlooking the city. The camera zooms in on the shirt, with a voiceover or text overlay: “Wear the Future. Feel the Past.”

Styling:

  • Past: Pair the tee with vintage denim, retro sneakers, and minimal accessories.
  • Future: Style the tee with metallic or holographic accessories, sleek pants, and futuristic sunglasses.
  • Transition: Mix and match elements from both eras to show the shirt’s versatility.

Equipment:

  • Camera: A high-quality DSLR or mirrorless camera (e.g., Canon EOS R5, Sony A7S III) for cinematic shots.
  • Lenses: Wide-angle lens for landscapes, 50mm for portraits, and macro lens for close-ups.
  • Lighting: Natural light for outdoor scenes, portable LED lights for indoor or night shots.
  • Drone: For aerial shots of Dhaka’s skyline and river.
  • Stabilizer: A gimbal for smooth, dynamic shots.

Team:

  • Director: To oversee the creative vision and ensure the story is told effectively.
  • Cinematographer: To handle camera work and lighting.
  • Stylist: To curate outfits and ensure the shirt is showcased perfectly.
  • Models: 1-2 models who can embody the vintage and futuristic vibes.
  • Local Guide: To help navigate Dhaka’s streets and secure shooting permissions if needed.

Post-Production:

  • Editing: Use a mix of slow-motion, time-lapse, and dynamic cuts to create a visually engaging narrative.
  • Color Grading: Warm tones for the past, cool tones for the future, and a blend for transitional scenes.
  • Soundtrack: A mix of traditional Bangladeshi instruments (e.g., tabla, flute) for the past, and electronic beats for the future.
  • Text Overlay: Add subtle text to emphasize key messages, like “Timeless Style for Every Era.”

Permissions:

  • Check with local authorities or property owners for shooting permissions, especially in historic sites like Lalbagh Fort or Ahsan Manzil.
  • For public spaces like Sadarghat or Hatirjheel, plan the shoot during off-peak hours to avoid crowds.

Budget Considerations:

  • Location fees (if applicable).
  • Equipment rental (camera, drone, lighting).
  • Team fees (director, cinematographer, stylist, models).
  • Transportation and meals for the crew.

This plan combines Dhaka’s unique cultural and architectural elements with your brand’s storytelling, creating a visually stunning and emotionally engaging video that resonates with your audience.
