''Feel free to edit this or add something''<br>
'''=== Gas stations:'''===
* The multiple conversations struck by hitchhikers at gas stations<br>(hand-held subjective camera? Close-ups of drivers? Different angles.)
* Shots of hitchhiker during down moments and up moments (different angles)
* Perhaps you want to write down the time code when the hitchhiker and driver leave and are total stangers and once they have opened up a great deal and have even created a bond.
'''=== In The Car'''===
* Hospitality in the car : the driver offers something to eat or drink or offers to drive further or to sleep over.
* Make sure you get shots of the scenery while in the car (we might wanna use that later on with voice over rand music…)
'''=== Laws against hitchhikers'''===* The company car:Shoot guys who are driving a company car and explain to you that they cannot take hitchhikers. Interview them.* Trucks :Interview truck drivers who cannot take hitchhikers for insurance reasons* The police :Shoot or at least record if the police stops you on an on-ramp and asks you to leave.Try to engage a into an conversation with them.
'''=== On ramps'''===
* On the spot
** Low angle shot of the hitchhiker ?
* Get a wind cover if you can (you are going to be shooting outside most of the time and we wanna make sure that we have some good sound quality)s
'''== Format:''' ==
* You probably want to film in the DV format so that we may not have a conflict between HDV/ DV CAM/ DV unless we will all film in HDV
'''=== Tapes''' === * Make sure you label your tapes properly according to the following format :
DAY 1 Istanbul-Sofia TAPE 1
* Don’t go over 2 TAPES/DAY unless you got some amazing footage
