Nigerian Home Video
While Nollywood
strives to be Nigerian replica of American Hollywood, the quality of
the videos produced relative to Hollywood videos, are
abject apology.
But there is room for
improvement
It is true that Nigerians, both at home and abroad hunger more and more for
Nigerian made movies, because of the peculiarity of the stories and
richness of our tradition, but quite often the quality of the
pictures are nothing to write home about. I am often fascinated by
the stories behind the movies, but I am equally often disappointed
by the dramatization of the stories. These Nigerian movies were
initially made for local consumption, but the increasing demand for
such movies by people resident at home and in foreign countries, led to
increased, but careless productions of low quality movies.
I believe that there are several reasons for the poor
quality, and a few of them are :
The quest
for rapid wealth
Inadequate grooming of the actors
and actresses
Lack of Proper
Appraisal of the Stories and the logistics of properly executing
them.
It is a well known fact that, in any
Get-Rich-Quick scheme, the quality of the product or service is
often compromised, and this is also true with movie production. In
an effort to generate massive revenue, quickly, we often loose sight
of the aim of movie production. We need to focus on producing movies
that narrate coherent stories, captivate the audience and should be
universally acceptable.
We need
to focus more on quality rather than quantity
