Today was the first day of filming, and we successfully completed the task of filming the first two scenes from the script. The first scene was played by Afiyat. Her character walks into the lecture room with a cup of coffee in hand. Everything seems blurry at first until Afiyat takes her first sip of coffee, then suddenly everything comes into focus. Afiyat walks out of class on to the corridor on his way to the bathroom where she passes Ali at the vending machine.
This scene was shot over a series of sessions, because as the cinematographer I wanted to adequately capture what the script was trying to portray. I worked in conjunction with Dimi (Director) to obtain the desired objective.
The second scene consists of Ali standing in front of the vending machine, trying to decide which snack will start his day. He settles on a snickers bar but when the machine gets stuck he gets frustrated and begins banging and screaming. Once the machine begins working again, Ali is all happy and back to normal after taking a bite.
One of the problems encountered was that the original vending machine which we had based the script on had been changed; therefore it contained no chocolates products as the script suggested.
As a team we were able to agree upon that fact that we just had to make adjustments to the script in order t make it work.
Despite the above problem, filming was successful, and further dates and times will need to be allocated for additional filming of the script (scenes 3 and 4).
