5. • Jordan suggested that I possibly wear my camel overcoat in the
opening scene, yet I disagreed with him since the scene is taking
place inside and people usually take their coats off when inside.
Also the coat would've been very restricting when trying to act,
since I was bending down quite a bit and doing a little bit of
stretching to the top shelf at points in the opening.
• Even though I disagreed with Jordan in the decision to wear the
overcoat in the opening sequence, I fully understood where he
was coming from. Since our film is a detective thriller, it would
make sense for our main character to look the part and the
overcoat did exactly that, it added a sort of neo-noir feel, and that
is precisely what we were going for. But in terms of continuity, it
just didn't make much sense for our character to wear a coat
indoors, so we both decided it best not to wear the coat.
