Shoot Schedule
The schedule for the shoot was simple, I had asked the cast and crew to come to the location by 7 pm because we were going to shoot Scene 2 and it took place in the night. My plan was to reach the location by 5.30 pm and get the set ready by 7 pm so that once the cast and crew had come I would start shooting.
Challenges faced?
Comparing to the challenges faced last year while I was shooting my film opening, this year most of the things were quite settled because I tried not to repeat the same mistakes I did last year.
As per schedule and for Scene 2, I only needed one actor, Preethi, and accompanying her was Sowmiya, who is part of the production team, and was handling all the papers. As per the schedule, I went to the location by 5.30 pm and made sure that the set was ready. Preethi and Sowmiya reported at the exact time I had asked them to but then we did not start shooting right away. We decided to finish dinner and then start shooting. While we were having dinner, I explained to Preethi about the scene and what I was expecting from her. I also told Sowmiya what her role was.
Post dinner we were back to the set at 8.40 pm and started shooting by 9 pm. The shoot went well than I had expected. I was looking for challenges while shooting but then found none except a few ones. One of the challenges was that since I only had the tripod stand and because of that I found it a little difficult to shoot a few moving shots and was not able to achieve a full smooth movement. But I know I can fix a little bit of it in Post Production.
Other than this I mostly had everything under control and we finished shooting around 11.30 pm the night. As per schedule, I had planned Scene 3 for the next morning and so without wasting much time we went to sleep.
The reason for me not facing many challenges could be because I fixed a lot of things this year, such as I got permission to shoot at the location so I was sure that no other problem would arise. I got the set ready earlier. My cast and crew reported at the exact time and since we were shooting in an interior set, there was no other disturbance.
Below are a few pictures of the shoot! Hope you enjoy them.
