Me and Anam shot the scenes within the bungalow using Mr Gibbs as Dr. Tamworth. Firstly we shot Dr Tamworth making tea in the kitchen. This shot conveys the conventions of a thriller as usually in an opening of a Thriller they portray the mundane, daily lifestyles and then as the opening continues begin to build up tension and suspense through the use of music, mise-en-scene, narrative etc. We also shot him picking up the letter of the floor, opening it and reading it. This was difficult to achieve as we needed to get an over the shoulder shot of him reading the letter so the audience can read what the letter says as well. We also had to shoot him dialling his phone and making a phone call. This would link to the last scene as it is of him ringing Heidi. This is where the audience makes establishes the relationship between Dr. Tamworth and Heidi.

Editing:
When we were editing we realised that in the mise-en-scene there were two chairs that were not meant to be in shot. This is because they are school chairs and do not match the decor of the rest of the kitchen. So we had to re-shoot the Letter opening shots.
