• Sam Hoggarth - Assistant Director

These next lists are what was used in each filming session.

Restaurant, dog walk and door knocking scenes:

• The restaurant was filmed in the night, aided by street lights. I avoided getting the name of the restaurant in shot. Sam is wearing the coat he wears throughout, this is what he always wears and so the audience identifies with him. I used this location...

• The scene where i filmed the dog walking scene was shot in the day time, by the beach and it was fairly windy to create an eerie atmosphere. Sam is still wearing the coat and he uses a newspaper prop to create that cliché 'stalker hiding behind the paper', the other prop was my non-camera-shy dog. I used this place..

• Finally the door knocking scene; i made sure Eliss had her coat off because in the time line it would be a different day. The day was the same, and i used no extra props.

Box room and knife scene:

• The box room is a very small room in my house where i filmed, i changed the room to include a bed, a desk/shelves. I accompanied these with a lamp, laptop, books, DVDs, stationary, paper, deodorant and a newspaper. These are some of the typical things you would have in your room. The scene when i filmed was not aided by any light from inside the room, but the light behind where i was filming (the landing light). Sam was wearing the coat still.
• The knife scene was filmed in the evening and aided again by the light that was on the landing. I used a knife that was quite large and made sure it was in the shot. Sam was also wearing the coat.

Running, looking up at window and standing behind the wall scenes:

• the running through the garden was done at nearly night time, the girl was not wearing any jacket because she would have just run from inside the house, no time to grab a coat. There were no props, just several scenes of running that we did.
• looking up at the window was done at nearly night time, there were no props here, and the girl was just up in my room walking around doing whatever she fancied.
• when standing behind the wall she just stood and stared and i filmed her. This was done down the back of my back garden down an alley way that everyone along my road can access.
