David Finchers Gone Girl opened in America to rave reviews from fans and critics alike. <\/p>\n
Back home in India, though film buffs were visibly excited about thefilms release, there remained a niggling fear in the minds of many. <\/p>\n
In 2011, Fincher had refused to release The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in India when the censor board imposed some cuts on it. <\/p>\n
Audiences were also wary after their experience of The Wolf of Wall Street (in which significant portions were cut by censors in spite of the film being rated A). <\/p>\n
This time around, however, the director and his team found a way to work around conservative Indian censors. Using innovative editing techniques and visual manipulation, Gone Girl was certified without a single cut. <\/p>\n
A digital visual zoom-in, as the audio played unencumbered, instead of deleting scenes in entirety is all it took tomaintain a semblance of continuity. <\/p>\n
Venkatesh Chakravarthy, regional director at L.V. Prasad Film & TV Academy, said, Directors have found different ways to challenge censors, over the years. In Parasakthi, for instance, there was a scene where a part of the audio was muted while the visuals remained untouched. Despite this, theaudience knew exactly what was being communicated, beating the system of State censors. <\/p>\n
In rural areas, which are less monitored, adding bonus footage is a regularphenomenon. The digital medium today has increased the possibilities for visual manipulation, said Mr. Chakravarthy. <\/p>\n
