Process and idea development: 

The task gaven to us was about writing a story where we can use three objects; box, stone and cloth, so I started thinking about a story where i can make a use of this three objects. after a long thinking, and consulting my lecturer i came up with this story, my principle aim while writing the story is making the audiance feel the drama and poorness of the caracters, this is why when i started the shooting process i choosed dark scenes with no low lighting and slow music to put the accent on the deepness of the ecenes.

 i tried to experiment different angles, motions and lightning to get the best composition possible that refflect the script and the story's meaning. After finishing the thumbnail sketches that helped me to start the shooting and later choosing the right photo's for the final storyboard, I started the shooting using a Sony NEX-F5 camera.

Faced problems:

the lack of equipment was one of the biggest problems i had, specially for the lightning, i couldn't get a polished result specialy for the first scene where i had to improvise and make a small lamp to help me.

In the searching scene, the impossibility to control the environment was a big issue, i had to retake a lot of shoots because some car passing by the shooting  or some walker came to wondering what we are doing.

Conclusion:

 I think i did a fair job whooting this video, even if my work need a little polishing. i would have liked if i had more time to fully accomplish this movie, it wasn't hard but it took a long time to finish the work. I really like the shooting part, working with the actors and directing them. I hope that everybody enjoys the movie as much as i enjoyed shooting it .
