Permission To Shoot

Image
  Since we had decided to use an underground parking rather than a bedroom, we needed permission to shoot.  We had decided to go shoot in the underground parking of The Centaurus Mall, a well known mall in F8, Islamabad.  We asked the help desk to give us the phone number of the mall authorities that we needed to talk to in order to get the permission to shoot. We then  asked our media studies teacher to first call them and discuss it with the marketing director, Mr. Kashif Butt.  I, along with Haseeb prepared a rough draft for the permission letter. We checked in with the school administration, and asked them to produce us an official letter. Haseeb met with Mr. Kashif Butt, and got the permission approved.  Here is a scanned copy of the formal permission letter.

Rules of Composition

 Rule Of Thirds: Rule of Thirds is a guideline followed in order to attain a cinematically pleasing shot, or picture. It refers to a 9 sectioned grid, and according to the Rule of Thirds, the subject should be placed either on the right or left vertical line of the grid, leaving the other two thirds of the image more open. In landscapes, for example, 2 portions can be given to the sky, and one to the sea or land. After discussing the Rule of Thirds in class, we went outside and practiced it around school. We also discussed other rules.  Nose room, or leading room is the space in the direction that the subject is facing. This makes the picture appear well composed.

To create a cinematic, well composed ...

  I scheduled the shooting of the second scene on the 18th of January, and we all agreed to film that first because it seemed appropriate considering the availability of Zainab, our actress. We also had agreed the date and time with the authorities at The Centaurus Mall. The time slot we had requested from Mr. Kashif Butt was 1 pm to 5 pm. We left from school around 1:30 and arrived at the shooting location around 2:30. I had arranged the transportation for the females, whereas Haseeb provided transportation for the male crew and cast.  For security purposes and adult supervision, I had asked my older brother to accompany us and stay nearby.  We were allotted a specific basement (B2), where we could shoot. This floor was mostly empty, and so we all went to find a suitable spot to park the car. We used Haseeb's (family) car as the girl's car. Haseeb parked the car at an appropriate spot (he is over 18 and has a driver's license), and we had agreed to that specific slo...
