~**Issues & problems we faced**~ During our shoot, we encountered multiple challenges, most of which were related to our crew members. The pick-up and drop-off situation was exhausting due to the timing and distance from our homes. Since we were shooting on a weekday and a few weekends, we had to coordinate our schedule with the school timings of the students, who were coming directly from school. Additionally, we had to manage their meals, which was another issue as it was not included in our budget. The villa we chose for the shoot belonged to a family, and our extended timings disrupted their routine. Aside from these logistical problems, we also faced issues with the internet connection. We were unprepared for having no signal and had not downloaded any necessary materials in advance, which created another setback since we needed those resources for the shoot. The only place with a bit of signal was the rooftop. Despite all these challenges, the most concerning issue was travel...

Day 2 was packed! We returned home late at night , and our exhaustion manifested in tears and a few arguments we had on set. However, through effective communication, we were able to resolve all our issues. As we expected, it got extremely cold, and we were freezing. The most challenging part was that the Day 2 shoots included scenes on the rooftop and veranda, which made everything twice as difficult. Late that night, when our parents called, worried about us, we told them that we wouldn’t come home until everything was filmed. We had to manage our time very efficiently, since we could only shoot during daylight and had to wrap everything up before it got very late. After a hectic and stressful day, we finally went home, only to realize that we had college the next day. All the fatigue from two consecutive days of shooting had to be dealt with in just a few hours of sleep. Anyhow, at least we had our footage and hopefully the first cut very soon!

  Day 1 of our shoot, 17th January, was not only a day we brought our vision to reality but also a day where we learnt to work as a team, manage time, and deal with problems as well. We shot our scene 2 act#2 till scene 3 act#2 and dealt with all rising problems as well including one of our crew member dropping out at the last minute due to terror. Filming multiple scenes in one day was challenging, but teamwork made it possible. The high energy on set helped us stay on schedule, and effective direction ensured each scene flowed well. We quickly gathered props and adapted the space for different settings. Our camera techniques proved invaluable as we captured each moment with the right angles and lighting. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we were proud of what we accomplished together. We arrived early on set, excited to set everything up before our cast arrived. Our first task was gathering mud to create a realistic grave, which we carefully shaped. We then added aged paper to the ...

Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned, and that’s precisely what happened to us on this project. Several of our initial ideas were impossible to execute due to challenges like time constraints and limited resources. Faced with this reality, we had to make some last-minute adjustments to the script. Our goal was to ensure that these changes not only fit within our available capacity but also enhanced the overall realistic vibe we wanted for the opening. These adjustments allowed us to maintain a sense of authenticity while keeping the story engaging for our audience. 1. We initially planned to incorporate a lantern, but after considering the risks of our lead getting hurt or possibly burned, we decided to opt for a candle stand instead. It fit within our budget and created the exact impact we wanted for the scene. 2. We also abandoned the idea of using a red light distraction and smoke tendrils around our lead actor, as they were barely visible on camera in complete darknes...

AUDITIONING CREW: Today, we gathered for an exciting meeting to finalize and cast our crew for the upcoming filming project. The atmosphere was buzzing with creativity, as everyone was eager to showcase their talents. Despite the rigorous audition process, it turned into a fun experience, highlighted by numerous cuts and bloopers that brought plenty of laughter among the team. Our lead actors, Neha Qumar and Hamna Fatima, delivered exceptional performances that exceeded our expectations. With just a few pieces of guidance, they truly embodied their characters, bringing depth and authenticity to the roles. Meanwhile, Hamna Sheraz auditioned for a sample role, impressing us with her skills. We plan to showcase her performance to the other five side actors to ensure a cohesive chemistry on set. During the meeting, Eiman Tanzeem, our talented director, took the lead in analyzing camera angles and perspectives. Her insightful feedback and directing skills were invaluable, as she precisely o...
