Making and organizing Mise-en-scene
I poured flour into plastic freezer bags and wrapped them in ductape to use packs of cocaine. Nestor also bought candied blood and cigarettes for some of the close up shots.

Filming
The rest of the cast and I filmed the shots from inside ‘the room’. This basically completed our rushes for the first draft, which made us ready to edit on Monday.

Editing
Cutting all the shots together we found that the end of the opening just fizzled out  and needed a clearer direction to the rest of the film. We have also decided on the music for our piece, ‘In the Fade’ by Queens of the stone age. We felt that the tone and lyrics suited the opening and the intro to the song directly mirrored emotions of the character on screen.

Re-shoots
In order for our opening to make sense additional shots will have to be filmed to make it clear to the reader what will follow in the film and what roles some of the characters have in the film.

Re-edit
Adding the additional shots to the piece and keeping to the 2.30 minute maximum will the next step.
