| SHOOTING I - INCEPTION]
Everything was prepared on set to shoot Inception. It was the first day.
It's officially two hours since everyone including the cast and the crew got to the set. It's been thirty minutes since Ian Renner went ahead to calm Leonardo DiCaprio's nerves, which had taken quite a negative turn considering how close they were to starting shooting.
The set was busy as usual.
The first day was always tough. If Ian didn't decide that the first day was not going to be tough, from helping around the set to helping the actors get ready—things were hard.
In truth, it was quite chaotic.
"What is going on? I asked for the light reflector ten minutes ago!"
"No! Not there, to the left!"
"Ah, don't mess it up!"
"There's sand… Take it to the left! You're gonna hit a wave now!"
"What if a fucking tsunami came?!"
"Wow… That's so not it! Look to your left!"
"Here's the light reflector, I was trying to find it among all the other stuff we brought!"
Every member of the crew had their job. Amongst all of them, their talks and actions started overlapping each other while they were busy doing their job perfectly.
"Everyone, hold it in!"
A loud voice erupted. Her voice overlapped with the sound of waves. Yes, they were on the beach.
As it was the very first scene, it was supposed to be hard... Including the crew and the actors, it was the hardest day compared to the others. It was mainly because most of the actors who started acting under Ian were making their debut working under Ian.
For all they knew, Ian was someone who did his debut movie, a blockbuster, and that made things more nervous for the novice actors who just started working with him. Although there were rumours on how good Ian Renner was to the actors, being patient with scenes, and trying his best to make a good movie with his fellow cast.
Nevertheless, the natural nervousness of every actor was there, unless it was some actor who had enough confidence to think that they'd nail their performances.
The loud voice was none other than Raelynn.
"As I can see, there's already so much done. But we've ten minutes until shooting begins, so we've to hurry up, y'all!"
The silence that spread when Raelynn was talking filled again with chaotic noises.

[one hour later]
"I don't think this is going to work, let's take the waves in two hours. The length will be much rougher, pick the cameras, let's shoot the inside scene."
Everyone nodded and walked along with him. The crew had to stay back and wrap stuff up.
"I already feel like this is going to be big," Raelynn said to Niko who looked equally excited.
Soon enough, the shooting began. Ian made sure that the experiences the actors are having with Inception must be equally or more adventurous than the original movie—which Christopher Nolan did an exceptional job at.
This was also why, as for the locations, Ian chose six countries to do the shooting. Ian built production offices in six countries, London, Paris, Morocco, Los Angeles, and Calgary prepping parallel, as they started in Tokyo.
Logistically, it was a complete nightmare. Nevertheless, they somehow did it.
After quite some time, the shooting started. Ian thought of beginning the shooting with Cobb's and Saito's conversation straightaway. In a way, he thought about how Cobb's character was brought forward precisely during the little conversation they were having.
This was also why after much hassle, explaining and making both the actors go through brief descriptions about the characters, they got into the characters.
The shooting started.

"Cut! Let me check the clips! I think we should be done for today!" Ian shouted across the set.
After shouting at everyone, he walked back to his little monitor, so he could check the scenes they shot.
