Production Context.
Highly sensitive observational documentary: the subject required a discreet, respectful and non-intrusive sound approach throughout.
Filming in small communities in Zarzis and Lampedusa called for tact, attention to local dynamics and constant trust on the ground.
The shoot moved between village locations, desert environments and work on boats, so the setup had to remain light, adaptable and dependable in changing conditions.
Some situations required practical adaptation to local access limits: during a women-only wedding in Tunisia, for example, I showed the director how to place the wireless microphone herself, since I could not enter the space.
