For Day 4, we had two locations which were a park (outdoor shoot)and again my home for the indoor shoot. Day 4 was the last day for our shoot which began on 22nd of February. The scenes to be shot were two girls talking in a park,party scene,window scene and studying scene.The lighting was not harsh for the outdoor shoot. We had set up a park for the two girls for shooting at a different location and the park was near the house too so we had no issues. We had to allocate our time in finding the perfect spots for the shoot in park,however the actors were cooperative with us which is the main reason for out shoot getting done by time. The only issue we faced for the park shoot was that we had to change the location of park twice since the tripods were not allowed in some parks and it was hectic to change the locations.Moreover,one of the issues we faced was the camera's battery issue, a lot of our time was wasted in charging the camera.For the window scene,we had to show two girls(best friends) having a conversation through flash cards. This was a night shot so we had to adjust the lighting. For this, we had no yellow lights so we used white flash lights for this scene which was hard for us.The main camera movements we used were mid shots,high angle shots and close ups.We used a window for this scene because its really linked to the reality of life.For studying scene, we used Girl A(Tooba) dressed in a casual T shirt and pyjamas with no makeup because she was being shown the ordinary,simple girl. Here are the behind the scene pictures that we took: Our shoot,day 3 started on 21st of February and the location was Mutahira's( team member) garage and outside the gate for the outdoor scene. The boyfriend shot was to be done outside the gate. The lawn we used was for the reunion/dinner scene. The light and weather was exactly what we wanted. The actors were really cooperative and we were done with this boyfriend shot in a very short time.In this scene,we were suppose to show Girl B (Mehrbano) acting as the girlfriend of a guy who was arguing with him. For the look of our Girl B,her costume was a purple sweat shirt with black jeans. Her lipstick was dark red.
The guy we used for this role was a 19 year old teenager who had a role of acting impolite and rude with her girl friend(Mehrbano). Both of them had an argument where the guy pulls her arm and mean while, Girl A(Sara) comes to save her best friend Girl B (Mehrbano) but she doesnt listens to her and pushes her away. The guy makes her sit in the car and he drives away.We've shot this scene because this is the conflict point where both best friends start drifting apart.For this whole scene,we took the establishing shot, pan movements and closeups of the expression of Girl A and Girl B. We wanted to keep this scene realistic so we used these camera movements according to the scene cuts. For the lawn scene, our aim was to show a reunion sort of party arranged. Girl A(Sara) was wearing a formal purple and black gown and Girl B(Mehrbano) was wearing a formal black shirt with black jeans.In this scene, the main point was to show the eye contact of both actors and go into a flashback. For the flashback part, we took a closeup of Girl A(Sara)'s eyes. Both of the actress had a light makeup. It took us time to shoot the lawn scene because we had to arrange lights at the end.Since this was our last scene for the day,everyone was exhausted. Our shoot,day 2 began on 19th of February. The location again was my home(indoor shoot). We shot performance(lip syncing), kids playing and window scene with kids. We used led lights and yellow spot light on our actress(Tooba) who had to do the lip syncing of our music video. Tooba came around 3pm and was ready for the shoot. We took many shots of the performance. Pros: -Tooba had learn the lyrics so there was no problem in the lip syncing part. -The costumes were what we wanted. -Kids performed well in the playing scene. Cons: -We had to arrange the flash lights for the window scene since our bulbs got fused at the end. -We had to arrange a yellow spot light at the end for focusing Tooba. -In lip syncing part,due to dark lighting, we couldnt focus on Tooba's expression properly, so we took many shots. -Since,the window scene was done at night,the kids were tired and lazy to perform. Here are a few pictures of our shoot: Our shoot,Day 1 began on 18th of February,2017.We started off with our shoot around 2pm. The location we selected was my home since we decided to shot the indoor scenes first.The scene was about two best friend's childhood while dancing and taking selfies.We took many shots for our own satisfaction.The camera settings were according to the lighting and everything started like we had decided before. The arrangements for example arranging the led lights took a long time.After that, we took a pan shot, over the shoulder shot of the dance scene and many more shots.One of our team members, Mutahira was directing the actors while me and Tasbeeh were handling the camera.We used dark led lights in the scene where both girls were exchanging clothes.The makeup and hair styling was also done by Mutahira.
Since,it was our first day for the shoot,we were not able to adjust the lighting in camera but by time, after taking a few shots, we were able to handle it. We used led lights displayed over a red wall for the dancing shot which looked nice. Our protagonist (Mehrbano) and the other girl(Sara) which are shown as best friends had to dance in this scene. We took many shots for this scene for example a mid shot,pan and full angle shot. The costumes of the actors were exactly what we wanted. We wanted to change the location for the selfie scene because of the issue in lighting so we shot this scene in the garage with different angles. Here, both the best friends were shown posing and taking selfies with a selfie stick. The last scene scheduled to be shot for the day was both best friends exchanging clothes with a full mirror in front.We used led lights on the full mirror to give a different look for the scene.Our music video shows conflicts with flashback memories of childhood to grown ups so in order to complete the whole music video, more childhood shots were important. |
