  • A Review of the Malaysian Film Industry: Towards Better Film Workflow
    A REVIEW OF THE MALAYSIAN FILM INDUSTRY: TOWARDS BETTER FILM WORKFLOW ABDUL RIEZAL DIM A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education University of the West of England, Bristol September 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the existing film workflow processes in Malaysia and aims to explore, review and reflect on the expectations, experiences, preferences and problems experienced by practitioners. In-depth examination of real practices of colour film workflow, investigating the common myth among Malaysian filmmakers that environmental colour temperature affects the image quality of Malaysian films. Analysis of this myth may help to establish why many Malaysian films have been processed through foreign laboratory. Evidences from film industry were recorded through qualitative video documentation, alongside quantitative data from filmstrip test. This mixed action research method forms the main approach collectively with participatory action research as a tool to narrate the development of the research. In justifying the data, an explanatory mixed method design has been applied. The cooperation with expert witnesses in finding a solution to the research problem brought to the circle of practice-based research processes that validated the research. This validation becoming a central of investigation about the Malaysian film workflow complication. The initial technique (pursing the myth of colour temperature variation) proved inadequate, and, consequently, a broader action research methodology was adopted. As such, the filmstrip test data were used more as a tool to enhance the contributions of the expert witnesses, thereby shifting the direction and strengthening the research findings.

A superhero film is a film that is focused on the actions of one or more individuals who usually possess superhuman abilities and are dedicated to protecting the public from super villain or rival with bad intentions. These films usually feature action, fantasy or science fiction elements, which also include the origin of their special powers. The superhero film have performed relatively well in the box office. This prompts a new phenomenon, producing sequel. Dietz, J. (2011) found that sequels also performed well in box office. Malaysia renowned filmmaker in KRU Studio also jumps on to the bandwagon by producing Malaysia first superhero movie Cicakman (Feature Film, n.d.). The Cicakman film made history, breaking the opening-day record by grossing RM350, 000 on its first day of release (“8 Malaysian-Made Films,”n.d.).

  • Development Issues for the Creative Economy in Malaysia
    Development Issues for the Creative Economy in Malaysia PhD Thesis Siti Suriawati Isa n6181228 Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Submitted in full requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Page | i Keywords Animation, museums, creative economy, experience industries, creative industries Malaysia. Page | ii Abstract Cultural tourism and creative industries have intersecting policy agendas and economic interdependencies. Most studies of the creative industries have focused on western countries. Cultural tourism is rarely included. However the arrival of the creative economy and its movement through developing countries has changed the relationship. Supporters of the creative economy now see fit to include tourism. This thesis addresses the development of the creative economy in Malaysia. The thesis conducted case studies on animation and museum sectors in Malaysia. These two case studies provide information on the development of creative economy in Malaysia. The study found that a top-down cultural management approach is being practised but that Malaysia is now influenced by new ideas concerning innovation and technical creativity. The study examined whether or not technical innovation by itself is enough. The reference points here are the Multimedia Super Corridor in Cyberjaya and other similar projects in the region. The museum case study was situated in Malacca. It showed that museums needed to adapt new media and new experiences to remain relevant in today’s world. In applying a case study approach, the thesis made use of interviews with key stakeholders, as well consulting numerous policy documents and web sites. Both case studies imitated similar products and services in the market but added local characteristics.

Kemunculan teknologi kesan khas seperti computer generated imagery atau CGI dalam industri perfileman telah mengubah landskap pembikinan filem di serata dunia sekaligus memberikan definisi yang lebih dinamik terhadap makna kualiti dan potensi filem tempatan. Namun, tidak semua pengamal industri perfileman menganggap penggunaan teknologi terutamanya dalam aspek kesan khas visual akan menjamin penghasilan produk filem yang benar-benar berkualiti serta mencabar kreativiti. Oleh yang demikian, kertas ini membincangkan berkenaan dengan pandangan dan pendapat para pengamal industri di Malaysia dan luar negara berkenaan dengan aspek penggunaan teknologi dalam pembikinan filem dan sejauhmanakah aspek ini mampu menjadikan sesebuah filem itu benar-benar berkualiti. Perbezaan sudut pandang terhadap nilai estetik sesebuah filem sebelum dan selepas kemunculan teknologi ini, turut menjadi asas utama terhadap dapatan kajian yang diperoleh.
