Improvements (planning prior to reshooting)

 Our initial attempt obviously had a number of shortcomings. Those mistakes, on the bright side, helped us. This time, we would have experience, as well as a greater insight regarding what to do and what not to do. We would be more prepared, and more mature with dealing with filming. More importantly, we made a list that would help us counter issues that will or may arise during reshooting. 

Problem: shakiness

Solution: 

Although we had previously used a gimbal, the ground was filled with a lot of semi-buried rocks that interrupted Haseeb, our cameraman from proceeding effortlessly. This time, we'll make sure to either pick a tree that isn't surrounded by half buried rocks, or I will dig those rocks out. We will also take multiple takes to get the perfect footage. 

Problem: acting

Solution: 

This time, we will make sure that Moiz gets purely into character and does not look directly into the camera. Moiz is a very supportive, understanding and flexible guy, and he has worked really hard for us, and we appreciate his effort. I'm sure if we guide him in a better way, and help him "get into character", he will bring out his best. 

Problem: extraneous problems

Solution:

Although previously we let it go that there were people in the background of the frame and we didn't realize how intensely it was interrupting the narrative, this time, we will make sure to either pick a secluded tree, or go out of our way and actually request people to move to a different place. 

These are our counter solutions to previous, and future (potential) problems for shooting day one, which we have (unfortunately) scheduled on February 14th, 4 pm to 5:45 pm. I  scheduled this in accordance to everyone's availability and accessibility.
