FYI:
Every episode after
Part 5 was directed with a certain style in mind. The style for
this episode was clearly the style of Martin Scorsese. Not only is
the music (from Cape Fear) an indicator of this, but the camera
movement and the way things were framed also show that this episode was
definitely stylized.
"This looks like it
was professionally edited!" - Nathan R. Atkinson
Scott and Matt
Murphy were in the backseat of Nathan's car.
For the scene where
Nathan hears the echoes "kill", "destruction", "murder" etc. I just
circled him once with the camera, just going one direction. I then
took the film and put it in reverse and combined it with the original
footage to get more of the feeling that things were out of control for
Nathan.
When Nic goes into
the bedroom to sleep, Nathan can be seen sitting at his desk.
When Nathan answers
the phone, there is a digital 2 on the base. This is symbolic.
Not really.
I had really wanted
to use the "Beetlejuice" theme since The Saga started.
Nic's "Medicine" is
his sweat medicine. The fact that they leave the house without it
shows that Nic is preparing to die.
The whole scene in
the basement was spur-of-the-moment. I just wanted to try and do a
little suspense scene. A couple of weeks later Josh and I filmed
"alone."
The monster sound
effect was a mix between a bell and Nic.
