Phobic D20 (06/28/2013)

This morning i woke up and barely remembered a dream. I was driving my BMW528Xi with my wife on my side. It was a sports ground. Like Automobile sports. I was one of the participant and i had a inclined ramp in front of me with little space for me to steer with all the crowd cheering around us. Poeple were even cross the path i approached very slowly towards the ramp. I tried to position my car in a such way i accelerate with speed and get onto the ramp but took two three mins to do that. Finally i found a good position and accelerated up the ramp and the ramp was made of wooden floor and iron fencing. I tried to steer carfully through the ramp/bridge which would lead me to an unknown place which iam not aware of.

Then my acceleration got out of control and my car hit the fence and got shaked up really well and then front right tire slipped and lost its traction on the bridge and pulled the rest of the car into the valley. I didnt even know what was down there if at all we were going to fall down. Then my car rolled over but i dont know how but myself and my wife were standing outside the car now and wathcing our car rolled and falling into the valley which was some kind of a dam with water gussing through the pipes in a confined region. Our car fell from the bridge into the gussing water. It dipped deep and then rose above. We would now able to see the water filling up inside tha car and then it drowned.

Series of Unexpected Events - D19 (06/21/2013)

I was fighting with a guy on the hill side at night. This was in India. He was having a pistol in his hand but i somehow managed to get hold of it. I was trying to shoot him but i was not able to do so. He fell on the ground and i shot him in the chest. No sound no much drama as we see in movies. its over. Now i have to cover this up somehow. His mother was waiting for him and i know i fucked it up really good. I cut it and then walked on the typical old style indian city streets. Then went into a house proposedly my house or the victim's? I was not sure. Though i vaguely remember i think i also shot another person and was trying to cover up. I also remember packing in a cardbox of size of a shoe box. I stopped smoking the day before this dream and this dream was dangerously violent. Any connection? Is it Possible? Should figure out.

D18(03/31/2013)

I was living with friends. Both girls and boys. All new to me so i kept it to myself most of the time. One of my good friend who usually always fights with me and i tease him is also living in the same house. Others didnt know that we are friends. One day a guy was explaining an incident at his workplace just to pass time in the evening. I joined late in conversation so i asked what was it about. He started explaining from the beginning and he asked a question while he was telling narrating that incident. He said we usually have interest to know other people, right? for which i answered hell no. I told him i never waste my time in knowing others life unless and until they are really interesting personalities. Everyone laughed and some took it seriously and some got offended.
Then this friend of mine walked in here and there with his typical historical walk and style. Then i was not able to control the laughter so i exploded laughing. He too started laughing and everyone asked do we know each other and we said yes.
Next i remember is that i was driving with my wife in my car which i bought recently. It was a highway and all of the sudden i hear some strange noise inside the car like a mechanical problem. Except the accelerator nothing was working and we were at high speeds. This scared the shit out of me and only option i got was to pull the hand break. But it would be risky so i slowed for sometime then found a good place to stop on the curbside of the highway then pulled the break. It worked fine but i dont know how it happened we got off the highway drifting through the grass and onto the streets which resembled me of typical Hyderabadi Indian Streets.
Finally after a great difficulty i stopped the car but it eventually landed on another car but then i tried to get it off and tried to park my car beside the other car i ruined. Then i got off the car looked around it. Car's trunk/back side had huge dents on it and also the front bumper. Inside of the car was wet and muddy due to the grassy slope we drove by while getting of the highway.

From Fun to Frustration D17(02/21/2013)

I was walking here and there in an apartment intoxicated. I was not feeling anything and felt completely normal in the beginning. Later slowly i was experiencing some hallucinations, then my friend tall walked in and was asking me some questions for which i was not able to give answers properly. He was asking me to go out with him or something like that. I was requesting not to ask me anything or expect me to come out. Another friend from behind was telling this guy not to disturb me. But i was now trying to pretend that nothing is wrong with me. But deep inside i know that there is something wrong. Initially i was actually telling myself that i am ok and fine. But later i realized that i was on a trip.

Bullet Points - Check List

1. Maintain the Emotion throughout the Story
2. Develop the story in different levels.
    a. Plot Level
    b. Pschyological Level
    c. Political Level
    d. Mythological Level
3. Stories may not agree with each other, most of the times they may contradict with each other. Use this as conflicts between the Characters, Scenes and the Story itself.
4. Use camera as a pen to describe :
    a. Emotion of the characters
    b. Pace of the Plot
    c. Genre of the Story
    d. Treatment of the Subject of the Story
5. Identify the purpose and contribution of these following aspects to the Story:
    a. Each Episode to the Plot
    b. Each Scene to the Story
    c. Each Character to the Story
    d. Each Shot to the Screenplay
    e. Each Frame to the Screenplay
    f. Each Conversation of the Characters
    g. Each Dialogue of the Characters (Respective to the Actors/Actresses)
    h. Patch work cinematography
6. Choose appropriate Back Ground Music (BGM) to convey the emotion of each and every scene or dialog. Noticeable areas to enhance the action or drama with music:
    a. Introduction of Characters and the situations
    b. Theme BGM's for Characters, Plot and the Action/Drama portions
    c. BGM for Conversations
    d. BGM for Ups and Downs in a conversation of dialogues
7. BGM must convince the emotion of the scene and never over elevate or drain out the emotion or performance of the scene or the actor.
8. Write your screenplay to copulate with the pace of the movie.
9. Shoot your scenes with the EDITED Scene in your mind. Especially while Starting a shot and ending a shot ( E.G : While saying ACTION and CUT)
10. Imagine the emotion and any reference BGM while shooting a scene. Get all the required footage you want so that you can enhance it with Editing and BGM. If you dont imagine the emotion with a reference BGM you may feel that the scene is dry or dull while shooting. So forget about the immediate effect of the scene you just shot, and go ahead and take maximum footage you want and the maximum performances actors can potray.
11. Allow the actors to perform a particular scene or shot or dialogue in as many ways as they can perform. There is never a single perfect take. Even if you get a perfect take, go for another or more and if and only if the actor is willing and comfortable to do so.
12. Let it be a conversation scene or action scene or drama scene, try to shoot it as follows:
      a. As many angles as possible ans As many as different performances
      b. Make sure you get Long-shot, Medium-shot and Close-up
      c. Do not go for Extreme Close-up or Extreme Long-Shot unless and until its real contribution is needed to the story or the plot. (Read point 5)
      d. Get as much as Patch work footage you can. This is the area where one can openly use the artistic freedom of the cinematography without any hassles or the dates of the actors or their performances

Terrorist Attack D16 (10/18/2012)

I have to go some where and have limited options. I am walking and suddenly an alternative short cut striked my mind, i turned in that direction and found a sewer canal filled with kids playing some ball game. I felt sick and got onto the road diagonal to the canal. A typical mud road with houses on the both sides. Suddenly a dog came running towards me. I was scared but it was friendly, though it caught my leg with its jaws without hurting me. Then my friend Vj came and told me that its a nice dog. Now i had to  go somewhere and i was geared up. It was like a mission. I had loaded guns with me in my jacket. I asked my friends to drop me off somewhere and they were just walking without any response. I told them that i would fill up their tanks but still they didnt. And suddenly we were at a restaurant and started eating food. We were three of us. From the window of the hotel we were able to see the traffic on the road and a police busting some criminal. Two cop cars and the suspects car. Little of a mess on the road and inconvenience to the traffic. Then we had some conversation.

All of the sudden we heard some disturbance out on the road like people shouting on the road and running. I walked towards the window to find that the police were being attacked by the criminals by hand granite explosives and machine guns. It was terror all over the place. Someone beside me told me its going to be worse. But the intial feeling of terrorists or criminals attacking the most strongest force we believe in to be safe i.e police was terrifying and horrific. These terrorists were ruthless and started blowing up whoever and whatever came in their way. Strangely they were approaching our building. It was much more of a shock and terror now. The hotel we were in had only one way connection to the main road i.e a wooden shaft placed as a bridge between the hotel and the road which were divided by the back waters of the sea. One lady terrorist was trying to cross the shaft followed by numerous terrorists with machine guns and explosives.

I dont know what happened but suddenly i found myself with my friends on the sands of the shore. we were able to look at the hotel far away.

Scheme- Sitting D15(08/24/2012)

Some 5 years ago i used to regularly move with a group of friends who compromised of Rajesh, Niranjan, Viddhi, Adi, Candy, Raghu, DK, Ashish and Raghu.

This was during a scheme or sitting we call it. e all were sitting at a table and having our drinks. I could see everyone present at the table and we were cracking jokes and having fun. I dont remember much of what happened but i surely remember that something in the sitting pissed Adi who usually gets pissed off easily or else is a nice guy. So everyone was trying to cool him down.

P.S: I am in Newark, DE at Ujwals place.
