the second Entry. Shooting

During our trip we shot a lot. We are specifically looking for interesting locations during our trips to town or the monastery in which they lived. Filmed at the Villa in Real life,  at the University of Pisa and on the streets, in small towns and on the lakes. Our scenes often wore performative in nature, often spontaneous. Many episodes played out based on the specifics themselves. For example, a shot of the girls and draw the outline. But it was not always so. Some of the texts which were read by the characters in the scenes, we were looking for in advance prepared material (texts of the futurists, correspondence Gogol, Ivanov, and others). It is important that during the filming, we learned the basics of the shooting process (camera, sound, staging) are also very important was the experience of directing methods, understanding of what performance art, video art.
