Research
I begin by gathering key points on the topic and conducting research. First, I start with secondary research, exploring online sources to refine my focus on the subject. Then, through primary research—such as phone calls and interviews—I gather essential insights that help shape my story.
Secondary Research
India is a big deal. It has the world's second-largest population and its ninth largest economy; it's the biggest democracy in existence and one of the oldest nations in history. India is known as a vibrant country that has always carried a fevered pitch and fervent excitement for sports
But the million dollar question is - Why does India, despite a population of over one billion, field so few medalists? It is important to note that Indian athletes are no slouches. In India, talent should not get that much importance. In sports, there are lots of things which is going on during selections, matches and training. Sometimes young players don't get a proper platform to enhance their talent.
Nowadays, money, community preference, caste and place (where they come from), these are the factors that come forward more than the talent of an individual.
Sometimes talented sportsperson doesn't get it through due to this factor. Parents are afraid to encourage their children to make a career in sports. However, there are certain factors that might explain India's under-performance at the big stage.


Primary Research
I conducted interviews with my friends, teammates, and individuals involved in sports at various levels to gain diverse perspectives on my project topic. Through these discussions, I explored their experiences, insights, and opinions, which helped me understand the subject from multiple angles. Their contributions added depth to my research, making it more comprehensive and well-rounded.

Flim Reference
By referring to these films, I was able to develop my story in a more compelling and convincing way. They provided valuable insights into storytelling techniques, character development, and thematic depth, helping me refine my narrative. This allowed me to stay focused on the topic while ensuring that my story resonated strongly with the audience.

Story Structure
I design stories using the six-stage story structure, ensuring a well-paced and engaging narrative. This method allows me to develop both the hero’s inner journey—emphasizing personal growth, emotions, and transformation—and the outer journey, which focuses on actions, conflicts, and events driving the story forward. By balancing these elements, I create compelling narratives that resonate with the audience and maintain a strong emotional and structural foundation.

Mood Board
I created a mood board to explore the environment and character design. It helps visualize the atmosphere, aesthetics, and personality of the characters. This serves as a reference to maintain consistency and enhance the overall design.



Storyboard
The storyboard is a crucial part of the pre-production process. It helps visualize scenes, plan compositions, and refine storytelling. This ensures a smooth workflow and effective communication of ideas.


Character Design
I designed my film's character based on my research, findings, and story. The process involved refining details to align with the narrative. This ensures the character fits seamlessly into the film’s world.

I collaborated with a music producer to bring soul to my film. Their contribution enhanced the emotional depth and atmosphere. I believe music is a vital element in filmmaking.
