What I learned about writing from directing my short? Script is not something you lock and don’t change. It changes constantly, every day, even between takes. Basically, you write it in pre-production, rewrite in production and then rewrite again in post-production. Locations and actors influence the script and the picture you had in your head, when you were writing it. Locations inspire you and give a specific flavour to your scenes, enhancing you to change it. Rehearsals with actors help you figure out which movements work, which don’t and which movements seem more natural at that moment. These are my main intakes so far😉 🎬 Have you had a similar experience when writing or directing? Share your thoughts in the comments! #filmmaking #writingprocess #directing #creativejourney

15th cup of coffee at three in the morning, a bunch of small talk with the editor who you've met just last week. A concoction of the unnecessary minds of the people who've tagged along to the edit studio. Why are makers so critical of their work some people ask. It’s because they’ve seen the same film, the same scene, the same shot, at least a hundred times. We have seen different variations of it that didn’t even make the final cut. How do filmmakers still want to put their work out there knowing each little flaw that exists in the film? Next time you meet a filmmaker, ask them about the HUGE mistake they made that nobody noticed. It's the journey. The journey that begins and ends on the edit table. The editor, with their conviction and their super power of convincing the director, actually makes sure that the film is watchable. The joy of creating something from scratch. It all shaped me in ways I never imagined. It taught me patience, perseverance, and passion. It showed me the power of collaboration and the magic of creativity. So, when people come to me to talk about my films, I am stunned, why do you even like it? At the 13th minute, didn’t you notice the shadow of the light dada creep out from the bottom of the frame? #editing #patience #passion #perseverance

Should we talk about this what's the use of paying 100K a year at film school for someone to actually teach how to be a Cinematographer, Director, Writer, Editor where else you can take that 100k buy equipment and start your own thing?  Let's hear your opinions. 

Wearing Many Hats: The Editor's Perspective in "Seetha" Two years ago, I released my short film, "Seetha." During production, I took on the roles of director, editor, and producer. This experience gave me a unique perspective on the collaborative (and sometimes challenging!) relationship between editor and director. While there are clear benefits to being so involved in every aspect, it can lead to moments of tunnel vision. Here's an example: During a tight three-day shoot, a key character couldn't make it for a crucial scene. We found a replacement on short notice, but lacking familiarity with the story, the performance didn't quite fit. As a producer, I worried about reshooting costs. As a director, I felt limited by the situation. Then came the editing process. Focused on the editor's point of view, I delved into the first day's footage, only to realize the second day's scenes (from my director's perspective) weren't working for the story. The solution? Reshoot. This experience cemented my belief: the editor is a key storyteller. What are your experiences with the editor-director dynamic?

FILM MAKING !!!! PART 1 **Difference between Stage, Television, and Film** With humans, their desires and hobbies are naturally intertwined. The same desire and hobby that make someone a singer, writer, artist, also make someone a doctor, engineer, lawyer, or whatever else. It has been observed that even doctors, engineers, lawyers, or students, while being so, have a desire to perform in singing, writing, stage, film, or television. This primary desire of humans to express themselves and get approval from others is very powerful and persists from the beginning of their life till the end. Those who work as writers, actors, or directors in the fields of writing, stage, television, or film try to satisfy this desire by performing on stage and showcasing their talents. Just as an artist's desire is to perform, a writer's desire is for their work to reach the public. To understand the writer’s thoughts through their writing and present it to the audience is the aim of the artist. However, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the differences in performances across different media such as stage, television, and film. When a writer writes a piece, the script is the medium through which the director, producer, and other technical staff perform their roles. If someone wants to be successful in their profession, it is essential to have a good understanding of the script, and the differences between stage, television, and film. The differences are not just in the names but also in their uses. The common factor among the three is the audience, who witness the performances by the artists and technical members. Despite this commonality, it is important to understand the differences. #LivePerformance#StageActing #TelevisionDrama#FilmProduction #AudienceEngagement#TechnicalEffect #ScriptAdaptation#RealTimeActing #EditingInFilm#BroadcastMediums 2 ND PART TOMORROW ....

The best thing a director can give the editor is not the script or the footage, it’s a clear vision. As film editors, we thrive on understanding the director’s intent. A well-articulated vision helps streamline our workflow, enabling us to make precise cuts, seamless transitions, and impactful pacing decisions. When a director provides detailed notes on scene objectives and emotional beats, it allows us to craft a cohesive and compelling story that aligns perfectly with their vision. This collaboration fosters creativity and ensures that every frame, cutaway, and sound bridge serves the narrative purpose. #FilmEditing #PostProduction #Filmmaking #VideoEditing

Hello, fellow magicians! In my journey as a film editor, I've learned that watching more allows us to know more. The things we watch often become ingrained in our subconscious and come into play when we need them. I remember a specific instance while working on a project when we were struggling to perfect an action sequence. I recalled elements from Indian action sequences, my favourite style, such as fast cuts and slow motion. These ideas came to mind because of my exposure to such techniques. It's important not to underestimate the impact of these elements. They played a crucial role in enhancing the scene, and I believe they are valuable tools for any editor. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
