Challenges encountered on shoot day 1

 The first location went smoothly, except some problems with the lighting. So we wanted to take some lip sync performance shot of the artist with some dramatic spotlight kind of lighting, so we arranged a sunset lamp so we can shoot in different colors of light according to the mood. However, the sunset lamp took away the attention from the artist and his facial expressions were not clear in the light so to tackle the problem we used a different yellow light on the artists face and used sunset lamp too this worked well as the shot came out clear and the dramatic affect was also achieved.

As we were about to leave for our second location it started raining really heavily, We decided to visit the location to see that if it was still possible to shoot. The rain eventually slowed down and then stopped when we reached there and the weather was still pleasant enough to shoot so we ended up shooting on the same day. Another problem we encountered was that in the shot the actors were sitting on a monkey bar type ornament and we had to get a mid close up but it was a little high so I couldn't take the shot. So instead my member Ahmed took the camera and his friend picked him up on the shoulder and they took the shot using a gimble to stabilize. The benches the actors were supposed to sit on were wet but that was not that big of a problem as we had an extra cloth on hand to wipe them dry. Other than this the shoot went smoothly and we were done in around 3 to 4 hours.
