The bathroom shots were always a bit of an elephant in the room. they were never really properly storyboarded ever because we had no idea what the location we would get would be like. Ben and I made a general list of shots that we needed to get from that shoot and that was all. When the location was found and got, we were in filming there the next day. Because of prior engagements, when I arrived there later on in the day Ben and Henry were working well on getting most of the shots and because the film was changing during the edit, Ben and Henry had a clearer picture of what needed to be shot. I served mainly that day as a camera assistant, giving advice and fetching equipment as needed.
On the second day we needed to film the female actress in the bath which meant suspending the camera over the bath. This meant me holding the camera in place, while Henry, because he was much taller than I, was looking through the view finder framing up.
A third day, of reshooting the tap and the bath filling up was required and Ben and I went out to get those shots.
Because the light coming in through the frosted windows was sufficient to light everything in the room evenly, something which contrasted nicely to the harsh 'red room' shots, I decided not to use lights. It also helped as we had a very small amount of time to shoot these shots and plug sockets were sparse.
