Hi folks my first ever written post here 😆 My topic is a bit *ahem * its about love making on screen .As a viewer some get excited ,bored or aroused etc watching such scenes .while some just doze off but what abt the actors involved how far they take this scene .i know in reality there are 50 ppl in that 1 bedroom where the 2 actors are filming the scene but still actors are humans too (i know some claim to be but they arent😆)

but they has to be some sort of feelings of getting aroused or maybe excited .Take for e.g Emraan hashmi how far do u think he gets involved in such scene hes 1 lucky man chance of getting intimate with every costar of his film .so how far do u think he remains professional n not cross the line .I mean by touching the actress in appropriately or caressing at a *ahem * place or Oh la lala la la 😉.I mean what do u think do he or any actor in Q who has to shoot an intimate scene does some kind of technique to not get aroused (i m sure emraan gets always aroused even after giving many no of retakes😆)n just take it as any other professional scene .we have heard SOME ACTORS GET TOO INVOLVED IN SCENES TO GIVE IT A MORE REALISTIC TOUCH ..SO HOW FAR DO U THINK THESE ACTORS GO .If they really get aroused how do u think they hide it from the co actor /co actress given there are many ppl around apart from both actors in Q

well i m taking here more abt male perspective coz they are more liberal in such case .But we cant forget there is another actor too involved .so does the same feelings get aroused in an actress .i know sometimes such scene has to be reshot many a times n thses scenes are not filmed in 1 day .so naturally the excitement wanes off.Still how far do u think they get involved .

MY Q HERE IS NOT ABOUT HOW FAR THE ACTORS INVOLVE OFFSCREEN😆 WE ALL KNOW THAT SO NO NEED TO DISCUSS THAT WHAT ABT ONSCREEN.

P.S . i have seen ppl here in a sort of competition who makes a controversial posts .so this is from my side now beat this 1 😉😆

NOTE:- Mods can close the topic if they find it inappropriate to discuss here .i hope i have not broken any rules😊

ok i found this comment(dated 2003) in 1 of the blog so copy pasting it

When you see a love scene in a movie, you see two actors seemingly alone in a room (or wherever), perhaps in a darkened, romantic atmosphere, mood music playing in the background... However, film is an illusion and the actual filming conditions are much different from what you see. What is actually there is a VERY well lit room (lighting for filming is very intense, even when it simulates a darkened room), filled with lots of people (even when it's a "closed set" as is often the case with love/sex scenes). The two actors may be completely nude, but often only as much as is necessary to the reality of the scene as filmed (if they are in bed and covered, they may very well be clothed from the waist down). There is the director, the cinematographer and/or camera operator (maybe more than one, depending on the number of cameras being used to film the scene), the lighting technicians, assistant directors, stage hands. In a closed set, some of these may be absent, but there are still a number of observers to the scene. And those observers are not at a distance as would be the case of actors on a stage in a theatre with the audience out front. In filming the camera may be only a few feet or less from the actors - as little as a few inches for close ups. Not exactly optimum conditions for making love (or even "just" having sex)

And then there are the multiple takes... In filming a movie each scene is filmed a number of times, depending on how close the camera needs to be, how much the director wants to show in each part of the scene, and what angle the camera needs to be shooting from. Think about the movie scenes you refered to. In each scene there are long shots that show the whole room or perhaps the bed from a distance or from above; then there are what are called "two-shots" which show both actors from enough of a distance to be able to see both of their faces and upper bodies at the same time; then there are close-ups of each of the actors as they say their own lines, and as they react to the action of the scene and to the other person's lines. Well, each of those shots usually has to be done separately in order to make best use of the cameras and to prevent one camera from being in another camera's line of sight. So each scene is shot over and over and over and over, so that each of the necessary shots and camera angles can be filmed for editing later into one continuous scene which appears to have been shot continuously in one take. There are some special cases in a particularly intense scene when they may be done in a single take using, for example, a hand-held camera, but those are the exception rather than the rule. In most cases each scene is shot and reshot in short segments of from as little as a few seconds to many minutes. The same scene may be shot dozens of times.

Can you imagine trying to make love, stopping, starting, doing it over again, and again? And then going back to specific moments in the scene and reshooting just those few moments, with the same passion and intensity (not to mention in the same positions) as the first time so they can get the close-ups? It's simply not possible.

And you're right. It IS difficult to make it look convincing. Acting is not anywhere as easy as it looks on the screen. It takes talent and lots and lots of training to make what is essentially an illusion look real to the audience. Actors learn how to access their own emotions, to connect with each other each time they do the scene, to understand their characters, to make the best use of the cameras and lighting, to MAKE it LOOK real when it's not. That's really hard, and it's why so many bad movies look bad and fake.

Well because bollywood is not hollywood 😆

it used to be more reserved and i liked that. like u could watch things with your family without getting awkward or having to skip scenes in a movie like a million times you know?
Plus it used to be so much more cultural and traditional... *sigh*
