Hong Kong and Jordan

 For the Second day of filming, we decided to film Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and Jordan 🇯🇴 since it was easier for us to film Palestine 🇵🇸 , Iran 🇮🇷 and Mexico 🇲🇽  later with time. We started with Hong Kong, and Marcella was our interviewee. It is worth mentioning that we are all students and we were all following the social distancing and hygiene rule.

Afarin and I tried to make sure that all our interviewees were comfortable enough to share their point of view and experiences without surpassing their privacy or the things that preferred to keep to themselves. Marcella felt comfortable enough since we are friends and I told her to just have fun with me. We first talked about it while filming some parts so it could be natural, and then we filmed the rest after.

It was a good environment since all the people (except for Gaby - Colombia 🇨🇴 ) that will take part in the documentary were there. All of the countries were gathered together for Hong Kong and Jordan. So we talked, we shared, we laughed.

Afarin brought the lighting equipment, which is LED lights, although we used one for Marcella, we used two with Gaby since it was required.

When we started filming Marcella we made sure we improved and still do what we did with Gaby; we took a shot from her eye-level front and low angle from the side. I was filming the front and Afarin the side, she took shots of her hands as well.

For Jordan we did almost the same thing, but it always happens differently.

Yad is from Kurdistan and has lived in Jordan for a really long time, most of his life if I'm being honest. Afarin and I tried to make him comfortable as well. Yad asked a friend of his who lives in Jordan as well to help him out with putting his ideas together. Then, he talked about Kurdistan because the more the merrier. We placed Yad in his comfortable zone background and we talked. It was a bit harder with him since he always forgot to wait for the camera to start so he could start talking, so we just started filming before telling him we were ready to go.

Lighting was necessary in this interview as well.

I do not want to have second thoughts about my documentary, but at least I am creating something.
