Actors-sisters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor will be the next guests on chat show Koffee With Karan season 8. Taking to Instagram on Monday, host Karan Johar posted a clip as the duo spoke about each other, their family and almost revealed secrets. The clip started with Khushi saying that she felt confident about being on the show. (Also Read Koffee with Karan Season 8: Janhvi Kapoor bleeds for her art, while Khushi Kapoor heals)
Janhvi Kapoor recalled that before the show, she attended a party where the actor requested people to ask her rapid-fire questions. Janhvi said, "Navya (Naveli Nanda) thinks I'm not ready. She said, 'Don't go'." When Karan asked Khushi if she is dating Vedang Raina, she replied, "You know that scene in Om Shanti Om where a row of people say 'Om and I are just good friends'."
During a segment in the show, Karan asked Khushi Kapoor about the boys Janhvi has dated. As a confused Khushi asked if she should name them, Janhvi told her, "Don't do it Khushi." Karan also asked Janhvi about three people on her speed dial list. She replied, "Papa, Khushu, and Shik.." and then went 'oooo' as she got embarrassed. Janhvi is reportedly dating Shikhar Pahariya. Both Karan and Khushi burst out laughing.
Next, Karan asked Khushi if there was a reality show about her family what it should be called. She responded, "Walmart Kardashians." Karan asked, "Like the sasta (cheap) version of the Kardashians?" Janhvi said, "Why? How dare she?" Karan, next, asked Janhvi what piece of advice she would give Khushi if she were to work with Ananya Panday. "Just make sure you don't end up liking the same guys," Janhvi replied. Janhvi and Ananya have both dated Ishaan Khatter. All of them were left in splits.
Karan shared the video with the caption, "We are starting off the new year with some crackling energy with the Kapoor sisters. For the first time ever, catch the sister duo - Janhvi & Khushi Kapoor, together on the latest episode of #KoffeeWithKaranS8!" Koffee With Karan season 8 streams on Disney+ Hotstar.
Janhvi will be seen in the sports drama Mr and Mrs Maahi alongside actor Rajkummar Rao. Earlier, Dharma Productions took to their official Instagram and announced that the film will release on April 19. The film is directed by Sharan Sharma. Janhvi will also be seen in Devara along with Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
Khushi made her Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies. The film also starred Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda and Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan. It also stars Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Dot and Yuvraj Menda. The film streamed on Netflix on December 7.
You may recall many articles published in 2013 talking about how The Hobbit films looked like cheap daytime television dramas. This was because it was shot at 48fps, giving us an entirely different aesthetic.
We can perceive ten to twelve passing frames as distinct individual images. As more images pass each second, the gap between each image shortens, and our brains recognize the images as motion. This was first documented by psychologist Max Wertheimer, who coined phi phenomenon.
Although greater frame rates would produce better persistence of vision, 16fps became the unofficial standard for silent films. It was enough to create the illusion of motion, and studio execs were not losing cash with every turn of the hand crank.
There are a few variations of why 24fps was specifically chosen. In the video below (from Filmmaker IQ), John P. Hess explains that 24fps was chosen because a new modern standardization of frame rate had to be initiated due to the introduction of sound.
24fps was chosen because of math; it is an easily divided number, and editors can work out specific time cuts based on the number of frames. Twelve frames would be half a second; six frames would be a quarter of a second, and so forth.
While silent film was able to entertain the masses, filmmakers still wanted to push their new medium further. They wanted the audience to hear the spoken word like theater. Plus, the introduction of household radios offered new and exciting stories that cinema and theater could not. The pioneers of filmmaking had been trying to synchronize sound since the early 1900s. In the 1920s, they had their first breakthrough.
In the beginning, inventors such as Lee de Forest attempted to record and synchronize sound by transferring the vibrations of sound waves into etchings on a soft wax disk. Unfortunately, it was very easy for the sound to fall out of sync because both visual and audio had been recorded separately with different recording speeds.
This was a bust for de Forest, but he later went on to invent the Phonofilm, in which the method of recording an optical track alongside the film strip was introduced. The technique made it physically impossible for the two to fall out of sync, as they were in the same format.
Throughout the 1920s, various inventors and filmmakers continued to push both recording mediums. De Forest improved the audio quality with his Phonofilm, while Western Electronic and Warner Brothers were pushing boundaries with the recorded disk format with the Vitaphone, seen below.
The Vitaphone, however, was about to set to path the way for frame rate standardization. To overcome the synchronization issue that de Forest had with his disk format, the Vitaphone had the discs and the film projection both mechanically driven by synchronous electric motors powered from a common source. This made it much harder for the sound to fall out of sync.
The engineers of the Vitaphone system had chosen to use the sixteen-inch disk format at a playing speed of 33 1/3 rpm. Rotating at 33 1/3rpm would give the disk eleven minutes of playing time, which was the same amount of time that 1000 feet of film would play at 90 feet a minute: twenty-four frames per second.
The standardization of identical shooting and projection speeds was the first significant effect of the conversion to sound to be felt. Whereas the reproduction of movement can, in some cases, vary over quite wide limits without the effect being perceived by the untrained eye, the reproduction analogue audio cannot, for the simple reason that varying the speed of playback of a recording also varies its pitch.
Shutter speed and frames per second inevitably get mixed up by those new to the medium. Although separate components, they both work in unison. While frame rate dictates the number of frames exposed each second, shutter speed dictates how long that frame is exposed.
How can you use frames per second to aid your storytelling? Of course, the most common practice would be slow motion. An older term for slow motion is overcranking, a reference to the days of Lee de Forest, where the camera operator would crank the film faster to increase the number of passing frames per second. This was first pioneered by August Musger in the early 20th century.
Undercranking, as you might have guessed, is the reverse of slow motion; it is the form of fast motion. However, the act of slowing down the frames per second has essentially become what we now know as a timelapse. Taking stills and conforming them to a motion sequence is far more cost-effective than doing it with film stock or a cinema camera.
The technique of undercranking to speed up characters for dramatic or comedic effect has died down. Unlike the days when film would be shot at a slower than normal frame rate and then sped up, many filmmakers can now film at 24fps and increase the speed of the footage in post.
