Problem we were facing during filiming

Aligning schedules, mounting up lights, and the wind extinguishing the match were two major problems we encountered during filming. As for schedules, us being high school kids and mostly having different subjects caused a significant issue. Bilal and Saad used to get free a lot earlier than me, but since I got free late, we would start planning and filming a lot later than we should have, and that's a major reason the planning part took so much longer than the actual filming. Similarly, as we were living different lives, it became really difficult for all three of us to have clear schedules on the same day, so we had to sacrifice a couple of things to fully focus on getting everything together and start filming.
Secondly, our indoor scene's lighting had to be perfect, and the day of filming the scene, our tripod broke. we tried holding the light in our hands and placing it on the floor but nothing was working, so at the end we decided to tape the light to a door frame adjacent to the place we were filming at so we could have the bare minimum of what you could call, "stable lighting."






Thirdly, we spent a total of 2.5 hours filming the scene where the wind extinguishes the match across two different sessions. We had no machines to blow wind, and there was no natural wind either. We had to physically blow out the flame by waving hoodies and car window blinds to extinguish it properly. Even then, sometimes the flame wouldn't even budge, and since we had to do it twice, sometimes it would blow out the first time but not blow out the second time. A point came where we were so mindlessly exhausted that we stopped thinking of other ideas and just started hoping that the match would extinguish both times and finally, after hours of work, the match was put out both times and the scene came out perfectly
