Rough Cut

As it was decided by me and my partner that the shooting and other camera work has to be done by me and she would later handle the editing while I'll make the poster and the movie review page so our work was divided and she continued working. While there were parts were I contributed to editing as well like adding background score, special effects and transitions were added by me when all the final selection, cropping and reordering was done by Abira.
I used various editing tools like cross fading, audio gains and levels of speed in the music and their levels of volume.
After all the finalization was done we faced a major obstacle which was our film was 12 minutes long and there were no more scenes that could be cropped out to reduce the duration so we had to cut a major scene out of our movie which was previously a part of our film. The scene of a street vendor selling things and buying fruit for his children to make them happy.
After cropping that scene out which was one of my favorite because it was colorful and the focus points used in that were very different and interesting. 

Test shots

While i was on work my partner Abira took some test shots and evidence shots to show examiner how things appeared to us and how they were shown o our audience in the final Film which was produced by us.
Se was always with me, helped me directing the shots while I kept busy in brainstorming and thought of various shots to shoot my film.
Also she captured behind the scenes while I dressed up the characters before shooting.

During the start of the production process,Abira and I divided our duties. As I was good with the workings of the camera, she took control of the shooting while Abira assisted in the setting, lighting, acting and the other aspects of the shooting procedure including taking evidence pictures while I worked. We took test shots wherever they were required.

Last Shoot scene 4 (flashbacks) Withe

Today we decided on completing our shoot finally. All we had to do was reshoot the Jamal shot which we had done wrong and complete the Hammad's flashback shots. So we firstly did the flashback shots whereby one was to be done in my lawn while the second one was to be shot on a road. Flashback 1 required directions to  Hammad's on-screen father in terms of body language and Flashback 2  was to include a 180 degree rule which required a series of over the shoulder shots to get the right continuity in the scene. We managed both of these shots as Abira helped in directing Hammad and his father while I shot and Abira instructed.

When we moved on to Jamal's scene we faced a major obstacle which dealt with the broken table that could no longer be used as its top had eroded owing to heavy rainfall. We used an Art board to overcome this, however the art board required fixing if Jamal was to stand up from it to prevent it from falling down. For this, Abira supported the table with her head so as to prevent it from falling while I was on the camera.
