Piyush's Thoughts for the day

Today was the second day of the shoot. It was better than the first day as our lead actor was more comfortable. Today we shot one sequence in his home. We changed the location at the last moment because of budget and time basis as the actual location was 7 km away and it would have taken lots of our energy and the film is very much character oriented and this location was very suited to our needs so we used it.

My basic idea about shooting is that nobody should get exhausted otherwise it will be visible on the screen as the energy level of cast and crew keep on decreasing and it’s all visible in the content. It’s like the carbon dating thing.

Today we also came up with some good ideas which were not there in original screenplay and I really enjoyed shooting those scenes. So the other thing which I learned in shooting today is that your team should consist of people who are open to new ideas and create very healthy atmosphere for a batter creative process.

During a scene where the kid has to interact with the father he really was not delivering the performance so Arijit said let’s move on the next scene, but finally we tried it one last time and he did it. Patience is virtue.
