Production day 2

 

I knew this day is going to be very hectic for me as we had to shoot the scenes left from Day 1 too and for the ones planned for this day too. I, again, needed both my actors on Day 2 so I asked them to reach there till 2pm. My actors reached on time this day, (ah thank god). So we started on time this day

 We first went to the park to shoot the first scene planned for the day, It was a 10 minute walk from the house we were shooting in so we walked to the park together and found the perfect location in the park for the scene.A problem that we faced here was that the guard stopped us and did not allow us to shoot there. He said they do not allow non-residents to enter and specially shoot in the park.

 

 We went to the society’s head office and asked them to if we could shoot there for our project but we never allowed us so we had to cancel that scene. I couldn't take any pictures inside of the office obviously so asked the mean security guard to take a selfie with me so I could add it on my blog but as expected he refused. Still took one though when he was not looking (Avg. Gen Z Kid I know)

 

 Can you guys please take a picture of me here for my blog?

 

 The only thing I was worried about was that my film opening might become short after excluding that scene so we shot some extra scenes inside the house just in case, (though our film opening turned out to be of the right duration without them so did not use them).

 

 

 

Now we came back home to shot the 2 scenes left. First one was the lounge one where they were watching the TV.

The only task was to arrange the setting of the TV lounge, I had to move the sofa so the TV could be at front and Also the TV was to be put in place. After arranging the setting, It was time to shoot.

I put on some random Pakistan-India Cricket Match and explained my actors the whole scene so they act accordingly. This shoot was done within some minutes without any complications Ah, thank god

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The three shots above shows the TV lounge before and after I set it for the scene.

 

As soon as that scene was done, my actors got very tired and hungry so we took a break and I ordered some food for them. Now was the time to spend my budget on my actor's food, I also ordered some extra food for the owners of the house as I felt like they deserved it too as they let me shoot at their house.

 

 

 After they were done eating, we shot the scene we had to shoot on Day 1. As I was making it, all by my lonesome I had to do all the work WITHOUT ANY HELP. I had to set the location, explain my actors everything, shoot the video, make notes with it, keep looking at my planning notes to see if I was forgetting anything(problems of having ADHD, nevermind) While my actors were changing their outfits, I set the ludo game, explained the whole scene to them and shot it. It was time for pack up as all the scenes were shot.

 

 

END TO DAY 2!
