Getting Ready to Film

So I decided that I will begin filming tomorrow. I have chosen a close friend of mine to be the main actor since we are often together and my initial to-be-actor, Homero Argiro, has a busy schedule (so it will be extremely difficult to maneuver around it).

My actor doesn't exactly look Arab, but many people who are Middle Eastern don't, so it's okay. Plus, it's more about the message and the production of the piece vs the looks: if I make it convincing enough, it will be.

I have invested in a tripod today. It is a basic one but it will do the job!

I am also going to use my sister's old digital camera to film. It's not much, but it's definitely better than a smartphone. 

Before today, I have never used a tripod. So to help me with this process, I have researched various videos to help me learn, the best of which:
