First edit

Initially I edited my film with the name of "Ek zindagi". But later when my teacher guided me that the name does not go with the film and there were many problems in the film. In this version of the film which was the first edit there were many slow and fast motions which were distracting. There was no natural sound of the film and only the music which was constant and not changing. The dialogues were not clear and the story was not conveyed. This version of the film was more like a music video and so I changed my plan and than I edited my film again according to the points my teacher highlighted. Below is the link of the my film which was the initial edit.

Shooting Days and change in actors

The first day started with major problems of equipment. I had to go to my friends place to pick his camera and tripod early in the morning with my actor who was doing the role of the teacher. The teacher whom I choose initially didn't get an off from his office and I had to change my actor one day before the shoot.

Apart from that the main lead of my film was a kid and he also had his exam on that day so I choose one of my relatives son for the main lead who was really good.

After getting the equipment from the other side of the city I started my shoot almost one hour late. During the shoot there was only one problem which was to handle the extra kids in the class while the camera and acting was on but the school staff was really helpful and cooperative. I finished the scene which were to be shot in the class and when we came out for the outdoor shoot so there was an unexpected rain so two outdoor scene were not shot that day.

The two scene which were left out were to be shot near a junkyard near my home but the local police didn't allow me to shoot as there was a local strike that day. I had to go to the school and as it was Saturday so the school was off but I shot outside the school the last scene of the film. After that I went to a place where there  were small houses which was perfect for the shooting of scene 1 and shot the first scene over there.

Although there were many problems but still I was satisfied with my shooting as my teacher and class mates appreciated me when I showed them my rushes in the school.
