PRE-PRODUCTION: Location Recce/Location Scouting

As per our schedule, we had to start searching for the location from the 10th of November, but all of us already had so many ideas. Our initial plan was graveyards and shrines because they give the perfect vibes and were exactly what we needed, however after visiting a few we realized shooting there wouldn't be possible because

a) for shrines we needed permission and it was this very long process which we weren't even aware of properly

b) it isn't considered morally correct to take pictures of graves and is a rather controversial topic in our society hence we realized it was best to respect it and give up the idea of shooting there.

For our backup, we found this spot in our school ground, behind the bushes which we thought would work fine for our shoot. It is where we finally had our mock shoot.

Following is a clip from when we discovered the spot a day before our mock shoot.
