- Smita Shewale, Actress
While shooting, every day you have to face new challenges. There is a puzzle of how to adapt to new people, new environment, new places. Even though ‘acting’ is the main task, these other challenging things are unavoidable.
In such times, there is a tendency to concentrate more on how to get the work done with lesser complaints than on taking care of myself. If we think about making ourselves comfortable, more than half of our energy goes into organizing.
Instead, if we have a clear motive of ‘doing our best work’, the obstacles we feel in our relationships start to seem insignificant.
The without any complaints, or having any unrealistic expectations, everything automatically runs smoothly. In fact, if an actor has specific things that they prefer, the work get much easy, but it needs luck to fall into such a situation.
Often, the least expectation is to be on time for the pack-up, but at that exact moment, the assistant director comes and tells us that we have to shoot all night today due to the tight schedules of other actors. Most of the times, even if we arrive on time, we have to sit for hours because the scene wasn’t set early. Even though these are technical things, they have to be understood.
Frequently, the dresses, blouses or other garments we wear in movies and serials are not stitched properly. What’s worse is that we have to often wear repeated clothes considering the awful smell that comes out of it. Of course, ‘the show must go on’.
A few years ago, I was doing a serial, in which I was expected to look rich. The sarees brought by the production were made of light material.
Yet, our smart dress designer transformed the saree and the blouse to look so rich with the color scheme and the beautiful jewelry that it looked quite expensive on screen.
Working in such a virtual world, I have learned things that can help me solve problems. Many women wonder whether to match or mismatch? At the present, no one likes to stitch a blouse from a blouse piece that is mostly found in a saree.
What can be done at such times? It is important to know a little about how to create a more artistic look by keeping the matching. Basically, if you want to do a matching style, it can be suitable for formal events, elegant look mini, minimalist style.
For example, if the color scheme of your bag, shoes, and outfit is the same, you look neat, polite, and classic, but if use contrasting colors, you can look attractive. For informal meetings, you can mismatch for unique fashion in the creative field. This can show a trendy, bold personality.
1. If you decide to match, decide and try to match the earrings, nail polish, and rings, so that it does not look fake.
2. To stand out from the crowd, concentrate on a unique purse, statement shoes, or big earrings. Keep the rest of the outfit subtle. You can use matching items in this.
3. If you are going to wear all black or white, make use of different fabrics like leather, silk, linen, or denim. This will add a pop-up for the overall look.
4. Decide your look in accordance to your mood. Even if you are getting out for a coffee, but feeling very powerful from the inside, then wear a blazer, a bold shade of lipstick and a unique pair of sunglasses.
