LETER-LETER DRAMA (23)

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF WRITER AND PRODUCER.

If we are determined to make writing as course work and as our responsibility; full or partime we need to do it with enthusiasm and discipline. We need to write with full of responsibility and responsible to give awareness to the audiences through our works.

It no need highlighted scenes which are too violent or any negatives elements just to attract audiences. They just need quality stories to entertain them.

One way to win the audiences is to present series on TV. For example series of drama that shown on TV three or five times a week can attract viewers. Nur Kasih, a series of drama shown on TV3 need to repeat again to meet the viewers demand. As same as Qalesya, series of drama on Astro channel successfully attract viewers.

As a suggestion, TV channel such as RTM and Media Prima need to improve their series of drama everyday to attract more viewers. If it successfully gets audience’s response, they might not be ignoring this effort.

Writing is fun and exciting. That’s why people always overshooting when they are write about politics and gossip. But this becomes much worse than good.

When we write scripts on drama or film, we need to consider all or many aspects of element, such as the theme, plots and the important issue it must be funned our audiences because if we didn’t consider all of these, our work will be rejected because of low quality. Thus, this just waste of time.

What is the purpose of writing? Being published doesn’t have anything to do with writer. It has to do with earning money as a writer. Getting some kind of validation and recognition, perhaps notoriety and fame. Getting published is the aim of many of us. After all, we also write to communicate and having audiences is the flip side of communication coin. But it is not the reason we write, we write because it is what we must do. We also need to mind about the element of education and awareness when writing. Make writing an element of worship and avoid defamation.

Defamation not only prohibited, but also gives no benefits. We need to write from our soul and being honesty because it make us to be respected and remembered.

TANGGUNGJAWAB PENULIS DAN PENERBIT.

Jika kita bertekad menjadikan menulis sebagai kerja dan tanggungjawab tidak kira separuh atau sepenuh masa tentunya kita mesti melakukannya dengan penuh disiplin.Kita perlu menulis dengan penuh tanggungjawab. Tanggungjawab kita ialah untuk memberi pengajaran dan kesedaran kepada penonton melalui hasil karya kita.

Tidak perlu tonjolkan adegan terlalu ganas atau apa-apa unsur negatif untuk menarik perhatian penonton. Penonton hanya perlukan cerita yang bermutu untuk menghiburkan mereka.

Salah satu cara untuk memikat penonton ialah dengan mempersembahkan drama bersiri melalui TV. Drama tersebut pula harus disiarkan tiga atau lima kali seminggu. Ternyata drama sedemikian dapat menarik minat penonton. Lihat saja siri Nur Kasih yang ditayangkan di TV3 hinggakan terpaksa diulangsiaran bagi memenuhi permintaan penonton. Begitu juga dengan drama Qalesya yang ditayangkan disaluran Astro berjaya menarik minat penonton untuk melekat dikaca TV kerana disiarkan lima kali seminggu.
Saluran TV seperti RTM dan saluran Media Prima perlu memperbanyakkan siri-siri bersambung setiap hari sedemikian bagi menarik minat penonton.

Jika perkara demikian mendapat sambutan penonton, kenapa perlu diabaikan kerana setiap drama atau filem yang kita hasilkan adalah untuk tatapan penonton.Menulis memang seronok dan mengasyikkan. Sebab itulah bila orang menulis mengenai politik dan fitnah selalunya akan terlajak. Bila dah terlajak banyak buruk dari baiknya.

Tetapi bila kita menulis drama atau filem kita jangan terlajak. Kalau terlajak bukan saja karya kita tidak menjadi pilihan malah merugikan. Inilah yang perlu kita fikirkan secara mendalam.

Apakah tujuan kita menulis? Mencari wang atau mencari nama? Kalau jawapannya ya, itu tidak salah. Cumanya kita perlu ada batasan. Unsur-unsur pendidikan dan kesedaran jangan diabaikan. Jadikan menulis satu ibadah dan jauhkan dari unsur fitnah.

Fitnah bukan saja dilarang tetapi tidak mendatangkan banyak faedah. Kita perlulah menulis dengan jujur. Kejujuran perlu ditanam dalam jiwa setiap penulis. Kejujuran akan menjadikan kita dihormati dan dikenang.
