Difficulties Faced (Shooting Day 1)

 Since Centaurus is a frequently visited and popular mall, we faced a major issue; many cars in the background. People coming and going, parking their cars within our frame, or driving away. This highly interrupted and damaged the continuity, for instance, there was one car in the background of a particular shot, and in the next shot, a completely different car was parked there. 

Another unforeseen difficulty that arose was that the most important prop, the knife that I had originally prepared for the final shooting, we had kept it in Zuha's bag, as it was likely to get damaged in mine. Unfortunately, Zuha had left that particular bag at her residence. The residence was about a 40-minute drive, and we did not have much time on our hands. We checked multiple stores at the mall, hoping we can find a toy knife that could be used instead of the one I had made. We couldn't find it so we used one of the spare knives I had made for rehearsals. They were in my bag already. They were obviously not as good as the main knife, but we were short on options. 

The lighting in the basement parking was unfavorable. We did not have any control over the tube lights, which were flickering.
