It was a very simple set up due to the fact that our location was so simplistic in terms of easy accessibility and because it local: the boys locker room in Hurtwood House. This easy access to the location helped with saving time from organizing transport and the time to get there. It was not exactly as the storyboard because the storyboard created an image and the particular location fitted from a practical point of view.Our final location was quite small which made it harder to shoot in when it came to doing a wide-shot, therefore we placed the camera in the corner of the room in order to get the wide shots of the whole scene. It was easier to shoot close-ups but it did make it suit the scene making it more intimate and closed.
In terms of shot choices, we started off by shooting in one angle of the location in front of the shower, therefore we did a wide-shot initially of her entering while he taking a shower. This shot was an important shot in order to show how we can see what is happening on both sides of the wall giving a sense of wanting to warn the victim. The wide shot introduces the whole scene and location and where the audience is supposed to look. We went on to doing a medium wide shot of his in the shower then moved on to close-ups of details such as: her dropping her cardigan to the floor, her elastic band falling in front of it. This was decided on the spot to do this. We did a form of a P.O.V. shot from the shower looking up at the girl stabbing. We didn't exactly follow the storyboard 100% because we kept coming up with new ones on the spot. This was good seeing that we didn’t exactly plan where we would place the camera in the first place. By exploring different shots it leaded to new ideas for the story, for example: we made the actress remove her cardigan and this made us come up with the idea to add a floor shot of the cardigan falling to the floor.Since we shot in a real location, we didn't really need to set up light due to the natural light which was already in the room. We didn’t consider extra lighting because the yellow wash of the neon light had a scary but at the same time a naturalistic effect on the shoot. In terms of sound, there is no dialogue whereas the actors do not speak. Our only concern for sound was the shower sound and her footsteps down the corridor seeing that our future plan for editing is going to involve cutting from the shower to the corridor. At the beginning of the planning, we decided on the actor singing in the shower, however, when it came to shooting it, we realized that it was not serious enough and would make a joke out of the whole sequence. The reason we came up with this idea was to surprise the audience by making it slightly comical and happy and the beginning to then surprise the audience with the girl walking in with a knife. We ended up Our roles for the shooting day were planned. As the producer, I had to plan where to shoot and do such jobs as getting everything in order and making sure that we had everything necessary for that day and also making sure the shoot was relevant to what the story was and picking if shots were appropriate or not for it. The teamwork in the group was very efficient and we all took part in camera work which improved the shoot because everyone had new ideas. We all helped each other out even if it was not the role we were given, for example: when blood was needed it was immediately done by someone from the group, this is why it didn't take us all day to shoot.
