When scheduling the mock shoot and main shoot it was of utmost importance that I have the best weather conditions to do any of my outdoor photographs. I also wanted to do it over the weekends as it was easier for the cast and crew who were all school students and their working parents. Having checked the availability of the cast and crew, I went through the weather forecast and decided to have the mock shoot on the 19th of February and the main shoot on the 25th of February. Colombo was having light rains these months, and these were the best options we could find.

Prior to the shoot I made a price list that I derived after discussing with all the artists and sales people. This price list helped me finalise which of the artists would be helping me out and from whom I would be purchasing any props or equipment needed.

Followed by the price list I made a budget with all the expenses I would incur for the main shoot and mock shoot. This helped me cut down any unnecessary requirements (i.e. contact lenses) and make the shoot cost-effective as much as possible.
