Behind the Scenes: The Story Not Told of Our Film Shot in
London.
There is a world behind all the movies you watch on the screen, a world of hard work, passion, and numerous challenges. Our film was no different. Captured in the beautiful city, but challenging, London, this project was a product of a team of 80 very efficient and talented individuals who worked round the clock to bring the dream into reality. This piece is a tale of the events that occurred behind the camera-a journey that will not be forgotten but more than that, it was a film project.
Why We Chose London
By the time we had finished the script, we realized that we needed to have a backdrop that was very modern, historical, and beautiful in the films. London was the perfect match.
The city is not only a beautiful place to visit, but it also possesses architecture, river scenery, and a classic atmosphere that transports any sort of story to life.
However, it is not easy to shoot in London. Formalities, bad weather, traffic jam, bustling streets- these were all we were looking forward to.
A Team of 80 - Every Person With a Story.
A team of 80 does not simply indicate a number. It implies 80 dreams, 80 skills and 80 responsibilities converging.
There are those who carry magic behind camera, those who manipulate the lighting, those who do makeup and costumes and those who approach production issues with smile.
Our team included:
Line Producers
Director and Assistant Directors.
Cinematographer/ Camera crew.
Lighting & Sound Crew
Costume & Makeup Artists
Local London Management Team.
Stunt & Action Coordinators
Drone & Visual Team
And of course, the actors
The challenge was presented each day but the cohesion of our group made every challenge an opportunity. Now that is the true beauty of film making.
London Weather -The Largest Villain.
In case our film had had an invisible villain, it was the weather in London.
One sunny, and the next moment raining.
We would arrange the whole scene, prepare the actors, position the cameras and then all of a sudden it would downpour!
Numerous shots were to be postponed, and it only united our team.
Our production team followed the weather pattern continually and changed the schedule according to the changes in the skies.
Location Shoots- The Hunt after the Perfect Frame.
London shooting is not all about coming up with a beautiful spot. It is also about the permissibility and crowd control.
When scouting the location, our team visited dozens of places, ranging between old heritage buildings to modern streets.
We filmed in a number of landmark sites, including:
Near the Thames River at dawn
Colourful South Bank streets.
Busy lanes of Camden
Around the London Bridge
Old Victorian buildings interior scenes.
Every place contributed to the tale a particular taste.
The Hard Work Behind the Camera.
Each shot was considered as the most significant one.
Everything, including camera arrangement, lighting, and so on, was planned. In places we were shooting the same scene 8-10 times to reach perfection.
Our drone team took breathtaking aerial shots of London which became the soul of the film.
To create the authenticity of each scene, the sound crew had captured the sounds of the city in nature.
The Dedication of the Actors
They say that a movie is not created by a director, but by a whole crew, and our project is a real evidence of it.
Each department was in support of another.
In the event that the lighting crew was lagging behind, the camera crew assumed the role.
The art department assisted without asking questions in case the production had problems.
80 individuals were laboring like a family- and it is why this film was more of a trip to remember rather than an assignment to finish.
In the End…
By the time we had given the last shot, the burlesque on stage wore expressions of fatigue and exultation.It was not only the pleasure of having written the film: it was the pleasure of making something beautiful together.
The movie is a combination of both, the beauty of London and the labor of our crew, as well as our enthusiasm with films.This Back story of the scene might not be depicted on the screen, but we will never forget it in our hearts.The memories remained with us even after the shoot was over- late night planning, early morning setups, cup after cup of coffee and the laughter shared among the team that kept the team going. These minor details helped to remember that filmmaking is not only about what people watch, but about the relationships that we establish and the efforts that we make to form each frame.
