One of the most integral parts in pre-production is the storyboards stage. This is where film makers put their thought process into how a particular shot should look and feel for the crew to understand the shot and the script of a sequence. Before the assassination sequence was shot, Raajneeti director Prakash Jha and Prasad Sutar head of Mumbai based vfx house Pixion planned out the shots and the chain of events that followed in this scene.
Prasad explains "Storyboards is an aid for designing the overall structure or story of a film. It focuses on concepts and rules out any visual problem during shoots. It's a collective series of single pictures, each of which represents a distinct sequence or narrative element within the work".
BollywoodHungama brings to you an in-depth explosive storyboard sequence from the political saga Raajneeti. Here are the images and the description of the scene.
This is the scene just before the blast in fact it is the run up where Arjun running towards the car where the girl is.
The second shot is when the girl comes to open the car. Here in the BG (Background) we see Arjun running towards her while the girl is shown opening the car door.
Blast 01: In this shot the girl was filmed against a Chroma back ground and added into the final product later, while Arjun was filmed with the original BG, however the actual blast scene was filmed separately.
Blast 03: This scene is where the car explodes; this sequence was filmed separately with the BG, with the blast be shot separate, and the debris separately.
