We all love the show for its unique execution, relatable characters and simple approach to not drag the story. But there have been many technical issues in recent episodes, especially in post leap scenes. We request the technical tem to take care of these issues.
1. Lightening and Camera angle: There is overuse of close up shots, it feels calustrophobic and crowded. The wide shots are rare and angle is not right in most of the cases. We need more better setup and tracking shots from time to time. Lightening is very dull and bleak nowadays. In dance sequence the green/white lights are on faces of actors which make theri expressions invisible to us.
For example,
This is Episode 8:
This is Episode 94:
The first one looks like a proper café whereas the second one is a veryobvious and poor attempt at making it look like a restaurant. The setup is notup to the mark, but most importantly, the first one is done using a wider shotthan the second one. I can see and feel the space surroundingIshqi and Ahaan. We don't see anything surrounding these five and the averagelighting, average setup and average shot make it harder for us to enjoy thescene as an audience as it is not convincing.
Here is another example:
In above scene, aerial shot was unnecessory. It failed to draw attention to anything particular. We see everything in this scene, but at the same time it doesn't highlight what it's supposed to highlight. Similar shots were taken during wedding sequence. We need straight and wide/mid shots.
Please do not overuse close up shots and aerial shots. Give us normal full length, wide shots, mid shots and sometimes trackign shots with good lightening.
2. Choppy Editing: The poor editing in recent episodes isalso killing the flow of episodes. The scenes don't look complete. For example,in episode 94, there were too many cuts in the two sequences. At one point thereatuarant scene was cut to just show few seconds of Savitri-Dadi where Savitrienters Malhotra house. It was totally an unnecessory cut. As one scene was happy and another scene is the one where you insert horror like BGM, it totally kills the mood and flow of the episode. There was also cut in between theIshqaan dance because of which we were not able to enjoy the sequence. We also want to see drama in the show but it needs to be enjoyable and rightly blendedin other light scenes. Also in episode when Ahaan asked will you marry me (the high point in any love story), his face was not even shown which ruined the proposal.
3. The Loud and OTT BGM: The background music in the scenes is very loud and over dramatic. For negative characters' scenes, the BGM is like a horror movie. This does not go with the theme of the show, Even in normal scenes with Dadi's presence, the background score is villainous and overdramatic e.g. Dadi-Kitchen scene in episode 95 when Ahaan was making juice, it has very negative BGM. All scenes with Dadi don't need to have dramatic music. We are not able to enjoy such important scenes because of loud BGM. Please tone down this in Dadi-Savitri-Rhea scenes and do not add such BGM when the scene is not suppsed to be one of their villainous activities.
To people from PH/Channel: Please respect the extention that we got for the show. This is nothing less than a miracle. So if possible get Lalit Mohan back on the team or atleast improve these things. The new team is not upto the mark and they are not doing justice to the story and actors
EDIT: I have edited my post to make itmore descriptive (I used Ruby and sparklep's ideas) so even if someone readsfirst post and not entire thread they will get idea of it. This shoud reach thetechnical team.
