Filming

 We started the day with the setting up of the set. This was fairly easy as most of the props were to be moved around while filming, we decided that moving the props around while filming will create more space in the room as it was too small to fit all the props in their right place from the beginning. 
 The first shot took the most takes before we got what we needed from it, this was because the falling of the lamp was difficult to get right while having the Jack and Emel struggling at the same time. The positioning of the camera also took some thought because we decided to have Rachel catching the lamp so that the attention wasn't drawn to the sound of the lamp. After that first shot the filming began to go smoothly. A couple of issues that we had were mainly to do with positioning of the camera as it was quite a small space and was difficult to get good angles. 
 We just filmed the action shots at first as they were the hardest ones to do. Another issue was placing Jack and Emel in the right place and telling them where they should move to because the shots had to link together with the movements of the actors. 
 Some shots which we thought were going to be difficult turned out quite easy, shots like the table with the glasses on being pushed over. We expected this shot to take a while to get right because of the glasses falling off at the right time and making enough noise, but it only took one shot. Also we thought that there was going to be a problem with Jack stabbing Emel and her falling backwards but it turned out that she knew how to fall backwards without hurting herself. 
 After the action shots were done we moved onto the credit shots. These were actually very difficult to take as we didn't have the best equipment for doing smooth panning shots but we managed to hold them steady enough to get decent shots.
