Start of Shooting and selection of locations and characters.

Now that i have a clear mind for my movie, the next problem is selection of locations for my scenes and characters. Today I spoke to sir Zafar about It and I am happy that he helped me to reach campus principal Madam Darrah and teachers like sir Saadi and sir Nadeem .They have not just agreed but have also promised to be available as and when required during the school time. I wanted to shoot few scenes at home but will not be able to do so because of my friends availability issues and forthcoming midterms.

However issues of mise-en-scenes are very interesting as most of the shoot will be during school time and in school uniform. For locations I visited every corner of the school and was surprised to note, how my school looks when I look at it from movie making angle.

Choice of back ally, front foyer, corridor, principal's office and A1B classroom is finalized. Madam Darrah has ordered domestic staff to arrange for the mise-en-scene stuff as and when required.

Sir Zafar was a great source of help during this whole process and escorted me virtually every place to keep an eye on my selections and decisions.

I also spoke to my friends and formed the groups to act in my movie. I also handed them the script copies and they immediately started rehearsals for the movie.
