Picture & Train scene

Few days later we had to take a picture of both Rujina(me) and Tayef which we are going to use as a prop. This brings back memories to Tayef's character as the picture is almost like a flashback. We got two jumpers from the school so show it was taken a few years ago, back in the days. We were outside the school as Naim tried to capture the school name in the picture.
As we didn't have a digital camera with us and thought the phone quality won't be god enough we filmed the scene which will be edited into a picture.

We then walked down to Lime house station to done our station scene of both characters meeting. Before we got there we had to complete a scene which which was filmed a few days ago showing Tayef at the cash machine. The cash machine was opposite the station so the location was perfect. We waited for people to pass by because in the first part of that scene, the roads were quite, clear and no one in the background. This was a disadvantage but we got it done. Moving on, when we got to the station we faced another problem. I was at the platform with the equipment as the other two went in to ask permission for the filming. We were strictly told we were not allowed to film inside, only on the platform. Then one of the ticket officers walked out and explained to us that if we walked down to some other station and talked to the manager explaining its for work purpose then we won't have any problems. However we can still carry on but because of all the incidents that took place previously (bombs), the police were informed that we were there incase any thing happened later, they will know who we are. I responded to the man, we understand what your saying but we have nothing to be afraid of so were just going to carry on.

We filmed several shots of Tayef walking owt the station, him walking around showing time pass, looking at his watch and calling up Rujina(me). We filmed him talking however we didn't film my part of the conversation so this might be a problem later. Some shots we taken more then once incase of any mistakes and Tayef smiling. Then we moved onto my shot showing the character of Rujina coming down the stares in the station. I look at my phone to check the time and then see tayef waiting. we both walk towards each other and ends with a hug. However were not very strong actors and it was very hard with the public watching. We didn't retake this scene, it made us feel very uncomfortable so hopefully it came out right. This took some time but we were happy with our work that day.
