These are hard to shoot. Many angles, connections between characters, the worry not to „jump over the axle”. In the frst day i always was tempted to cut the frame intro pieces, but i chilled in time, it would have been nonsense.
You have an appetite! Mine is meat balls and stuffed pepper with cheese paste. The meat balls don’t count.
They are boring. The cast forget the coupling, u have to shoot somehow continuously.
If you have a cast made out of actors of different genres and age (my case) you have to get in the role seriously and lead them where you want to. Or else, you are in trouble. Some wait for the close up, others joke and you can hear them through the four-in-hand tie, some are absent, some want to seem funny and others hate those who want to be funny. The food rots out like today’s tomato of miss Tora. You have to keep yours eyes focused, like on the gas cylinder, for the pressed cheese and many more not to „loosen up”. All in all it was a thrilling day. Maybe only for me, popistasu was fed up. I could see her through the half-opened door and i was trying to encourage her through signs.
It’s like in a chess game where it’s up to you to lead and set the desired rhythm. When talking, eating, changing the frame or lights. I forgot to mention that we are shooting on top of the Sahara restaurant, where there are the best libaneese sweets in town. Yesterday we stuffed ourselves, today we suffered because of the abnegation. Tomorrow i feel i will give in, once again.
