Steve Oram: We had the script pretty tightly down when we filmed.

Alice Lowe: We got all of the script, and we improvised around it as well.

Steve Oram: It was very important to hit certain bits and points within a certain scene so we had to keep those things in there.

Alice Lowe: But then Ben would say ‘Oh that’s interesting over there. Let’s go and do that’.

I’d go ‘I feel like I’d like to do this right now.’ And he’d go, ‘Go on and do that’.

Ben and his Director of Photography Laurie Rose would be grabbing visual things and obviously, you’re outdoors so they’d be an incredible sunset and he’d be like ‘Right, we got to get that, got to get this’.

The way Ben works, and the DoP that he works with, they are able to grab that stuff very, very quickly.

And that’s just really, really creative.

Ben Wheatley: Yeah, it was very loose like that and Laurie was really good like that but the crew were ready just to go and do stuff.

And we used a lot of available light so we could go and do that kind of thing without it becoming a major ball-ache, you know?

But we did stuff like dressing the mother’s house head to toe, even rooms that weren’t in the script, so that we could go and jump out and shoot stuff in those rooms if we felt like it.
