Our first attempt at shooting the death scene was shot at Maddie Hodges house. We had set it up to be some kind of Restaurant/Bar. We had flowery stools and the table had a flower design on them. This was to indicate the theme of the Wolf's bane. However, it didn't come across this way. It was still successful in some ways, such as the camera angles, the lighting and positioning. The high-key lighting helped to make everything look quite slick and the costumes were contrasted nicely against the white walls and flooring.
However, the Mise-en-Scene didn't work, as it wasn't suggestive of the genre since it resembled two people going to the café during the day, instead of two adults meeting for drinks of an evening. Overall, this resulted in it lacking tension and narrative enigma. We used Kaan Gunduz as the Male Victim as he fit the character description well and his performance was successful within the shots. However, everything will need be re-shot once we decide on a different location that will create a more sophisticated setting.
