It became clear to Coupy and I that once we got our actors to rehearse the script, the words they said just didn’t sound right – almost too clique. We also decided to change the acting roles; instead of having a conversation between a detective and a police officer, we concluded that a detective and a neighbour would be easier for us to pull off considering we were finding it difficult to get hold of a police officer uniform.
In addition to these role and conversational adjustments, we also decided to add an extra shot of the main character staring out of the window into the cold morning, in order to add some suspense.
