Shooting from home cannot be a permanent solution: Rahul

During the lockdown, different Bengali channels are airing shows shot by the

actors

themselves with their phones and

personal cameras

. Actor Rahul Banerjee believes that this cannot be the permanent solution. “While

daily shoots

are not happening, this

format

is

fine

for the time being. But in the long run we all will have to go for traditional shoots,” he added

Rahul pointed out

multiple issues

the actors are facing while shooting from home. In most cases, the actors are able to shoot just their part. Say for instance, a sequence requires Rahul to have a conversation with someone. In the new format, the two actors shoot their parts separately and send them to the editors, who will merge the shots. “I have to act on an assumption and the end result cannot be the best,” he added.

Besides, technicality is another issue as there is no professional technician to hold the camera and light. “Most importantly there is no one to give cue and that is a huge problem,” Rahul said.
