Editing practical
In this video, I collaborated with Gurleen, Princess, and Rukiya to create a tense, sinister crime drama. We filmed the scene in a drama room, which perfectly set the stage for an interrogation scenario. Sandeep portrays the authoritative figure, attempting to extract information about a crime. I play the role of a suspicious suspect, who is both drunk and entangled in gang activity.
Gurleen were instrumental in capturing the shots, working behind the camera to ensure we achieved the right atmosphere. After filming, we each took responsibility for editing our own segments of the video, allowing us to bring our personal vision to the final product. This collaborative approach helped us craft a dynamic and compelling piece, reflecting our individual styles and perspectives.
