2401038 - Behind the scenes


 Rakhandar .

In Goan folklore, a "Rakhandar" or "Rakhno" is a protective spirit believed to guard villages, fields, and crossroads, often depicted as a giant wearing a white dhoti with a bamboo stick. They are seen as protectors against evil spirits and are offered local items like roosters, liquor, and beedis. 

There the announcement made us lot proud about the work we were heading towards , it already gave us great experience since first day when we started the proceedings of work with our team . We were 5 members heading towards this project , we had divided the work into 5 parts where gathering information, making up script , shooting the video , editing the video and adding the correct information to the dst. 
We started with the work very prior to the submission date . As the places we selected for dst were Katamgal Dada ( Farmagudi Ponda Goa ) , Zareshwar Maharaj ( Ponda Goa ) and Gada Dev (Dhavlim Ponda Goa) which were all from Ponda it was my first concern to go visit these places and gather the required information. 
I started with the job , I visited these places on every of their visiting days which were mostly Sundays and Wednesdays and then started with the video clippings one by one . 



After confirming shots collected with the team I started up with the dst editing work . It was a great opportunity to excel and also to show my skills to the best. 
For the actual then we decided to add a story to show about what rakhandar really means and for this we had to wait at night and shoot the video for , then edit and meanwhile all this work was going my team mates helped a lot in providing me support , encouragement and remaining work of dst script .
At last all of the struggles and challenges made us excel and we could really submit the best possible outcome through our team work and dedication.
Thanks you
