Day

8:30
am-discussions
going on between the director and the cameraman with the breakfast on the mess
table. Today the director is Hemale and Kirti is the cameraman. I see them
coming out of the mess after having their discussion. We all decided to meet at
10:30 on the the set.
10:40 everybody has
arrived. Hindol was constantly supporting the director in preparing him
mentally before the shoot. Hemale was sitting quietly going through his shots,
having small talks with Hindol and Kirti. Jubraj , me and Ashok were collecting
props.
Sir has informed us before
hand that he won’t be able to present today till the second half. So everybody
took the their share of responsibility to manage without him. Yet comparatively
it was quite slow. We could take only three shots till the time sir arrived on
set that was around 3pm. What I felt it was because the Director couldn’t take
a call when it was required. A director should trust the cinematographer but
when the cinematographer also goes clueless the director has to finally take
charge of the situation.
We spent way too much time
on taking a simple shot where Jubraj offers Soumee a tissue paper. Soumee is
drinking water and takes the tissue paper wipes and off the blood from her
nose. The actions were simple but we were looking for way too much emotions in
this shot that too by setting the camera in certain angles or changing the
magnifications. May be it was not looking very magnificent. But what I think is
not every shot in your movie is meant to be so. Ups and downs has to be there.
Sir demonstrated the same
thing try to shoot actions emotions would come naturally if they have to. Instruct
your actors to display concrete actions. If they have read the script they know
what emotions the character is going on while doing a particular action.
We wraped up the shoot by
5:30pm. Today it’s my shoot and yes I am pretty nervous but let’s see how
things roll.
