We filmed our final scene on Sunday at Adeel's house for the bathroom scene, which is where it is revealed that his friends are in fact just imaginary and that he is just crazy. We chose Adeel's house because he had the perfect space that we needed in order to shoot the scene.
In order to convey the characters as being more crazy than he is, we changed their appearance slightly so that it looked like they were messing about in the bathroom, such as Maurice having shampoo on his head and Parham's collar being messy.
We used a variety of shots here, such a 360 panning shot where it's first revealed that his friends do not exist. We also used another trick with the mirror, which had Alex staring into it with his friends but when the camera tillts back at the mirror they were gone. While the overall filming did go well, some small problems did still occur.
- The bathroom was quite small so filming in there was sometimes hard. This was because the actors had to be in a variety of positions like standing next to each other in the mirror scene. It was also hard at times to find a place to stand when filming as it was very cramped.
- Another problem was that there were quite a few mirrors in the bathroom so filming some shots was a challenge as we had to make sure the camera or crew could not be seen. This was particularly hard in the 360 shot.
- Initially the lighting was changing on the camera so that it appeared to be flickering, however after changing the lighting in the bathroom that problem stopped occuring.
