Director – DOP – Editor J AT I N K A LWA N I CV L A MCY WRITER - DIRECTOR – DOP – EDITOR PRODUCTION DESIGN – SOUND DESIGNER L A MCY Jatin’s fear of horror movies inspired him to write his most recent film. Despite being unable to watch scary movies, he managed to use his fear as a source of creativity in the screenplay, as he initially had difficulty coming up with ideas. Working with a child actor presented several difficulties for Jatin, such as limited shooting times and the need to constantly communicate with and engage the young performer during the movie's production. E P I L OG UE WRITER - DIRECTOR – DOP - EDITOR Jatin’s first short film was an experimental thriller about a detective finding his missing wife. Epilogue was a major success with the film winning over 17 awards around the world. The crew of 14 had a month to create the film from scratch. The film had many challenges as Jatin and his crew had to create fake rain as it was a major element of Jatin’s script. This was overcome by using hoses and sprays to create an effect on water pouring down. We also used jet sprays to control the pressure of the rain and match it to each shot for continuity. From a DOP perspective, having the whole film set in night, this had its advantages as well as disadvantages. On the good side, the lighting could be set to perfection with me having full control on how I want it to be. The consequences were that we did not have enough light. Having actors wearing black at night made it very difficult to separate them from the background.

One of them was for a major cricket tournament, the T20 Men’s Cricket World Cup. I even worked for the Indian premier league as the main videographer for one of the stadiums and created as well as edited content for their social media. One of the videos made had gained over 25000 views. I also handles 2 Instagram accounts of my own which received around 200 likes per post and handled the Sharjah Cricket Stadium’s account which received around 500 likes per post and around 5000 views per video. SOCI A L ME D I A & W E B D E SI G N My process for handling social media consists of making a 9-post layout for each company I work for. Then I will plan a shoot to cover all content. Beforehand I present my ideas to the company and get their concepts as well to ease the process of filming. Photography enables me to hone my skills as a Director of Photography. I view each frame in a movie as a standalone image that contributes to the final product, and thus, I strive for perfection in every shot. Landscape photography is my preferred genre as it allows me to practice the most effectively. P H OT O G RA P H Y E D I T I NG All the work I have done, there has always been a hint of editing involved into it, from beginning to end. As a Director DOP, I tend to plan my shots in a way where I know it will fit perfectly in the edit timeline. From a directing perspective, I tend to keep continuity in line mainly to avoid any problems in the later stages. I have also completed the editing certification for DaVinci Resolve where I received a grade of 92%.. SOUND DESIGN ~L A MCY FAIRLIGHT After learning Fairlight in Davinci Resolve from my film course, I decided to take the official Blackmagic fairlight exam.
