While shooting scene 3 we really had a tough time.This scene really played with my patients.
We had to shoot this scene twice as in the first try unfortunately we were very disorganized. We weren't really able to direct our actor well enough .There was way too much traffic sound at the back. Although we tried to cover this up by having our female character hold her phone very close to her mouth and that way we recorded the actress voice on the phone.As for Moezz we placed the handy cam close to him as well as a phone with the voice recording on.
Although this scene required for movement of the rickshaw in the first try it seems as if the rickshaw isn't really moving but only being jerking around in one place. Since our character didn't know how to drive a rickshaw, and also because we did not want the sound of the rickshaw as it would have completely eliminated the sound of the dialogues we asked the actual rickshaw driver to push the rickshaw from the back. Though we wanted to show the jerky movements so that is becomes evident that the rickshaw is moving we used hand held camera. But in the first try often it happened that the scene would cut out parts of the composition as the rickshaw would be moving.
Also time constraints played a huge factor. With very little time we were not able to manage a lot.
Therefore we decided to re shoot.
In the second try we went earlier than last time so as to cover up the time constraint issue.
This time we asked the rickshaw driver, and my brother to actually push the rickshaw from the back so that it actually give the effects of the rickshaw moving.
Though the actor were extremely cooperative it seems as if the dialogues were tough for them to memorize. Which is why we had to attach the script to the windshield which unfortunately during shooting somehow managed to come into the framing. Though I think that we can manage with this problem.The second time shooting was much better than the first time shooting.
Again I handled the camera in this scene. Apart from the establishing shot where we used the tripod this was mostly a hand held shooting sequence. .A over the shoulder shot of Moeez as Ali as he talks to the female whilst looking at the review mirror. 180 Degree shots sequence of Moeez as Ali and the passenger.
