This documentary was made as part of a college project. We used the canteen in our college as the subject.

Project Stills

The documentary was shot in two call sheets, and I edited it for 4 days. We had a structure in mind before going for the shoot, but we still tried not to stick to it too much and shot whatever went with the overall theme, and the story we wanted to tell.

The most rewarding part of the entire process was the editing. Upon reviewing the footage, I felt that the documentary would connect better with the audience if it is more about Sudha than just a day in her life. I reframed and restructured whatever we had planned accordingly.

Even language didn't feel much of a barrier once I gained clarity on what the documentary was supposed to be about.
