Experiencing the cinematic drive!

Cinema has always fascinated all of us and why not! We live in a nation which patronizes this art and over all is considered as a sacred religion. The iconic dialogues of an even more iconic film, "Mere paas gaadi hai, paisa hai, bank balance hai...tumhare paas kya hai?" "Mere paas...MAA hai!" Aur humare paas CineMA hai!

To gather the experience, a crew of 7 people forayed into the wilderness to gather the footage. Our task, to create a film on disability for the college's film festival on the same topic known as 'WE CARE'. There was no limit for the film's duration but we had to wrap it up under 3 mins. Now, the first task was to see or rather foresee what we want from our film. Since the dawn of time, every film on disability has had a disable person throughout it to showcase but we wanted something different.

We moved ahead with a concept of showing a film on disability without showing any disable in it. So we came upon an idea of showcasing people's perceptions towards the disable! The next step was  finalizing the dialogues which were an integral part of it. We stormed our brains and dimaag ka dhai karne ke baad we finally decided upon 3 dialogues from the society's point of view and 1 from the disable's point of view. We picked out actors amongst the group only. And then went ahead in the studio to finalllllllly shoot it! 

We used the 'Stop-Block' technique of recording and the movie was shot in a single take. We were ELATED with happiness of shooting our first movie and that too within a single take! Ekdum Raja Babu wali feel aa rehli thi, boss! 

The experience was one of a kind and the feel of it was amazing. Bole toh ekdum Sanjay Leela Bhansali ka feel aa gaya! The best part about such an experience is that you take it with yourself and cherish it. You keep it at the back of your mind and learn from it. You think about your mistakes and don't repeat them. And that is why a media student should experience this. You can't fake it.

The post production of the movie yet remains and we are still to decide on a title. But as they say that Rome wasn't build in a day! We are scratching our brains for something to scratch back and say, ' Yahi hai right choice, baby!' what unfolds it yet to be seen!

Keep watching this space for more! The Sadharan Sense will be back!

PS: Stroke your brain until,
      It strikes your mind!
