First, we applaud you for your hard work and overnight shooting schedules to give us rip roaring episodes. But I realize you have had trouble keeping your editing and continuity scenes in order over the past several episodes, here are a few suggestions to help you keep the continuity and editing flaws at bay:-
1. Going forward, keep ASR in running shoes, always. He will be doing a lot of running after Khushi and there won't be inconsistencies with different shoes.
2. Keep Bluetooth plastered to ASR's right ear. Since you never show him sleeping anyway, why not keep it on for good.
3. Clone Barun, so you don't need Body doubles. (And if you figured out how, send each one of us a clone too 😆, clothes not needed, I will provide them)
4. Keep a bank of shots for all actors, here are a few to list
ASR - shots of him angry, jealous, pained, wincing, flirty, smiling, smirk. Repeat these shots in different rooms in the RM house, you won't have to use static shots of ASR plastered to the front door.
Babuji shots - his spasms can be shot in advance in many rooms at Gupta's and RM's. then he can be let go for the whole year until you need him back after ASR/Khushi separation. Until then he is doing nothing but break the springs of that wheelchair.
Payash shots - Again, many shots banked showing greeting, silence, shyness and fear, with only one word said by each "Akashji" and then "Payalji"
5. Avoid Mamiji in all shots. As such she is irritating to watch, why create continuity issues by adding her unnecessarily. If needed just shoot her hello hi bye bye in isolation As for her clothes, she looks the same in all shots, so no issues, besides who the f**k cares.
6. Keep a men's hairstylist or barber on location and please give ASR a haircut as often as needed and a beard trim every morning. I can't bear to see my dark horse disheveled
7. Make sure every hair on ASR's body is exactly the same in each shot. We examine each scene of his about 1456 times and can easily locate a misplaced hair, stubble or whisker.
8. Any thing else you guys want to add?
