Scene 4, the main rickshaw scene, , was due shooting today. The location selected was near Mahnoor's home and the actor too was her brother.
Shooting this scene was a bit difficult because it contained the main, almost the entire dialogues of our film and there was too much traffic noise. Plus, the camera was hand held for the shots that were to be taken from inside the rickshaw so it got too jerky. This scene too we had to shoot twice. During the first shoot we made a lot of mistakes, e.g it was evident that the rickshaw wasn't really moving but someone was just giving it jerks from the back, we had problems with directing the actors too.
The second time this scene was shot, a few blunders were made then too, quite big ones infact; we did not notice while shooting, but later when transferred it into the computer, that the script was visible in the frame. What we had basically done was that since our actor did not know how to ride a rickshaw, we made some men push it from the back so it would move on its own, just like a car. And on the windscreen of the rickshaw we had pasted the script so that our actor could look at it before speaking the dialogues and since we were supposed to take the shot from the rea view mirror of the rickshaw, the windscreen was not to show that much in the frame but unfortunately it did so now we have to decide how to deal with it since we are short on time and got to shoot rest of the scenes too.
