The first problem came from the casting as both the original female and the back role couldn't make it on the day. This presented a huge problem for me as the female was one of the main roles during this opening scene. How I overcame this was by having Philip Creasey play the females roles arm. The female was originally intended to lay dead on the mattress with blood and wounded all over her, instead I placed Phil in a wardrobe with blood on his hand acting as though he has been murdered and the murderer was hiding the body.
Problem number two came from the make-up designer Catherine Entwisle as she didn't bring the fake blood which was needed to be spread across the walls and on clothes and body parts. Since she didn't bring the fake blood I had to improvise by using tomato sauce and spreading it across the floor instead of the walls. Not only did she forget the fake blood, she also had to leave rather early leaving some make-up undone which then had to be corrected by both Bobby Gosling and Phil.
Since these problems came one after another I had to change a few shots in the scene completely having to completely re-do my story board.
In the end I wished it could have gone better but I am rather pleased with the results.
