Synopsis


Hey Readers!

So my group-mates and I got to work and penned down our synopsis on a paper during school. Nothing more satisfying than being creatively stimulated, creating an opening that will hopefully do well. Fingers crossed!!

Star Cast

Hello Readers! So we finally decided upon our cast of some very talented individuals, firstly we casted Mustafa Babar, who is a renowned teenage YouTuber here, in Pakistan, for the protagonist’s part. We then got a hold of Kamila Aazeen, who has modeled locally, for the character of the other woman. For the parents, our teammate Zainab helped us cast Muhammad Ali Hyat as the father and Ayesha Hyat for the mother’s part. However, what we found most exciting was when popular actress/producer, Hareem Farooq agreed to do our voiceover, narrating two of Rumi’s poems that we had selected for the opening. Before we even began filming, I went over to Hareem’s office to record, here is us all smiles after the job was done. This also helped us in coordinating our shots as to what word of the narration would befit what scene for greater impact on the viewer.

Shoot Day 2

Hey Readers! Happy to announce that we wound up shooting within two days, with no need for reshoots thankfully. We only had one scene to shoot on the second day, albeit it was a complicated one at that – the opening of the film where our protagonist is fully dressed in the shower and has lost himself to dance, transported to a parallel reality. However, Fatima and I brainstormed on how to go about filming this particular scene and we chose to add a lot of movements, making the camera hand-held shaky to exude a sense of discomfort. More than that, we wanted to experiment with camera angles and filmed with a tilt and attempted at rotating the camera to 180 degrees for greater impact and an intimate look into the character’s twisted headspace.

Storyboards

Hi Readers! Supremely excited about this post as our very talented member, Zainab Hyat sketched the storyboard for us to further better how we will shoot the opening. In the following storyboards, the character is seen in the shower; he is interrupted by his mother’s phone call and joins his parents at the dining table. He then travels with his father to his school and goes inside. He realizes he’s left his notebook back in the car, so he rushes to get it only to see his father driving away with another woman. He breaks down and loses himself to dance.
