After getting a good look at the place when we arrived the first thing that came as a surprise was how small the place was. That and how much greenery and forestery there was, so we adapted an idea we already had and decided to go for a more photographic approach, as essentially that's what comes into your mind when you think of portrait.
Luckily our Plan B came in handy and it helped us to slowly build an idea that ended up working really well with the environment we were in as well as the actual choice to make it a Documentary and abandon the original conventional narrative idea we had.
In terms of camera, the XM2 we were using was okay but there were annoying little habits it had such as resetting the white balance everytime you turned off the camera which is something that took us a while to figure out, and we therefore had to make up the extra footage that we had done before realising it did this.
Overall it was an interesting experience and i feel we got some really picturesque style shots.
