There was something in there like, Go up and then go down. Once inside, go up and then go down. We wanted the shock. We wanted the surprise of the house. At first we had to reduce the amount of arguing, then develop character arcs for the actors.
Levity equals sympathy.
A lot of arguing that goes on between Josh and Heather, we completely eliminated. In editing, we could extend the days, shorten the days. It was weird because after we edited the film we had somebody transcribe the script, so we actually got the script after making the movie. We spent a long time casting the actors, and we trusted them. We d say like, Day one, they start here, and this happens.
