VITALIY & TINA, TREATMENT

Both of us went on spiritual journeys and shortly after we were expecting a baby.

Testimony.

We got Married in 2017, and we wanted to wait a couple years before having a baby. Once we knew we wanted a baby we weren't able to conceive. After several years we started to get discouraged not knowing if we could ever conceive. We thought maybe there was something wrong with either of us so we went to get check up. A funny moment in where I was misdiagnosed and got a post vasectomy test instead of a viability test. I decided to try my luck with a fertility doctor instead.

Before we got the results, Vitaliy went on a 40 day fast. Tina went on a spiritual journey as well. As soon as Vitaliy comes out of the fast the following month Tina gets pregnant.

A year before we became pregnant I remember a moment where Pastor Roman had called both me and Vitaliy up. He asked us if we wanted children and asked to pray for us. That moment is when I felt open to share what we were going through with the community. There are so many moments after this, one where we received a prophecy and at the time he prophesied I was already 3 weeks pregnant but didn’t know yet. His prophetic word was one of the most powerful to us. There was also a moment at a beach trip with Anastasia.

Vitaliy shares children are a blessing from the lord and not a financial burden like many of my American friends think.

Look & Feel.

To create an intimate and powerful testimony the story is primarily visualized through select scenes that will be captured as well as using any past photos relating to the story. In each of the scenes the camera remains locked meant to signify the strength of the testimony. The visual language of the film will use natural lighting and center framing. Capturing the abstract is important to help visualize the story with and without God & the change that’s been made, the same scenes with and without talent. Recording on location audio will be vital to create an ambient undertone.

HOME. THE INTERVIEW

This is where both the interviews take place. Warm tones with the sun piercing through. A Two camera interview setup with middle framing and high angle offset with little framing in front of the face.

After the interview capture small details, back of the face, defocusing from talent to background, hands on the chair, little moments to cut into during the film.

PORTRAITS. BREAKFAST

Portraits with the entire family.

Stage a breakfast, around this time there should be sun piercing through the windows if clouds are not an issue. For breakfast it could be very simple with just eggs and orange juice.
