This scene is one that took alot of planning and preparation. We used the bathroom at the village hall, but had to film separate shots of the 'protagonist' entering the bathroom as, of course, we had to film him walking into the male restroom, but, for the actual shots of the scene we felt the women's was better as the mirror and room were larger so better for filming.
We decided to include this scene as we believed it would create a perfect amount of tension and fear amongst the viewers of our film to make them worry about what was to come later on.
It was hard to negotiate the filming of this scene as we had limited space in the room and the positions of the characters needed to be consistent and well placed so as to create the desired effect.
This scene was integral in showing the 'protagonists' fear of the other character and building up the fear in their relationship before he is actually murdered.
It had to be perfectly done to be effectual and so several shots were taken before we decided it was right. The figure in the background had to be only seen for a split second, so much so that, along with the character in the film, we also doubt what we have seen in the film.
