Production Notes.
DAY 1: [Scene 20; Luke confronts Mark (the serial killer) at home.] I found myself using a pot plant to hold up a reflector.
DAY 2: [Scene 16-18; Mark slaughters Luke in his Lexus.] The blood effects actually worked.
DAY 3: [Pickup shots of Lexus.] Returned the rented bronze Lexus back to Avis. I hope we can rent the same coloured one
again.
DAY 4: [Scene 23; Mark at home alone.] More use of pot plants. Returned sound equipment to Lemac. They never get hired
again.
DAY 5: [Scene 6; Mark gets ambushed at the car park by Ricko and Martin.] Two police panel vans ambushed us in the middle
of shooting. I desperately attempt to calm four tense police officers brandishing batons. An ambulance also arrives on the
scene.
DAY 6: [Pickup shots of Mark with his Statesman.] Hired green Statesman from Avis. Attached stolen numberplates to it
for continuity.
DAY 7: [Scene 3; Mark assists Anne with car troubles.] Harsh lighting conditions! Forced to cross the LINE OF DIRECTION.
DAY 8: [Pickup shots of Luke in his Lexus]. Managed to hire the bronze Lexus again. Lucky Avis has two.
DAY 9 to 11: [Scene 13-14; Matthew the windscreen washer unwittingly rescues Mark.] Avis sold its entire Statesman fleet.
I managed to have a green one brought up from Melbourne. Discovered I shot an entire scene without sound. I'll have to foley
it in post.
DAY 12: [Pickup shots of Matthew cleaning windscreens.] We made $4.
DAY 13: [Added Scene. Mark at work.] More extensive use of pot-plants!
DAY 14: [Scene 15; Mark hunts down and slaughters Matthew in the forest.] I fall and impale myself on a tree trunk whilst
operating the camera, otherwise a good, intense sort of day.
DAY 15: [Pickup shots of Ricko and Martin breaking and entering.] Confronted by frightened neighbour. Police are called.
DAY 16: [Scene 15; We are back into the forest to shoot the rest of the scene.] It rained all day. A stunt required both
actors to jump into the freezing river. Amazingly they did. I slip and fall on a river rock.
DAY 17: [Pickup shots of John at car park.] I can't act.
DAY 18: [Scene 2; John robbing apartment.] I can't act.
DAY 19: [Scene 8-12; John extorting Mark who is tied up in the boot of his own Statesman.] Two weeks earlier the actor
playing Mark had given me a heart attack when he showed up at a production meeting looking like Marlon Brando. I ordered him
to loose the weight so he did. We hired a white Statesman.
DAY 20-22: [Scene 8-12; John extorting Mark.] This time we hired a green Statesman from National Car Hire. I still can't
act.
DAY 23: [Scene 23-29; Mark tracks down John at a hotel.] The Sheraton on the Park is trashed. An intense and gruelling
day! Extensive use of pot plants!
