Honeyland Shooting process

2022-01-20 08:01
The heroine Hatiz’s neighbor Hussein’s family are nomads and come to the filming location every season. During the filming of the film, the director did not notice the neighbor's arrival, because the director was focusing on shooting Hatitz's story, but later realized that he needed to show the biggest conflict between Hatitz and the environment in the film. Then she discovered that her story cannot be separated from the people like Hussein and the contradiction between her and them. So the director added Hussein's story into the shooting task when shooting.
During the filming, the heroine Hatiz mainly used the ancient Turkish language to communicate with her mother, which was difficult to understand. Therefore, in the later editing process, the director decided to give up a lot of dialogue and use more body language and visual expressions to show the emotions and connections of the characters. In addition, because the filming location could not be powered, nor could it use conventional transportation, the shooting team was finally reduced to two directors and two photographers, and the recording equipment had to be abandoned. The shooting time took a total of three years and accumulated more than 400 hours of shots   .

    But honey isn't ours, so what's the "half for you" talk about bees? If God should punish greedy neighbors, he should punish everyone.

    Originally it was going to make a documentary about the heroine, but after another family moved in, they realized there was a conflict. According to the feature film, the director was very adaptable. However, I am more interested in ideology. From the perspective of the editor and director, it is very clear that we want to shoot the theme of environmental protection, but after the arrival of another family, it has the meaning of confrontation between conservatism and globalization. The female protagonist who speaks Turkish is a minority in Macedonia. , but in the small village that the film focuses on, in a limited environment, she is more territorial than the Turkish nomads who talk about Macedonian and break the rules of the industry. The focus of the director's perspective on the heroine has not changed. .
