Director
Worked closely with the talent, ensuring they were hitting the right moods for the scenes
No dialogue
Wanted to create a film with a distinct soundscape, eliminating the need for dialogue. The soundscape aims to inform the narrative of the film.
Alfred Hitchcock
If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.
Many of the films now being made, there is very little cinema. They are mostly what I call ‘photographs of people talking.’ When we tell a story in cinema, we should resort to dialogue only when it’s impossible to do otherwise. I always try first to tell a story in the cinematic way

Locations
Coventry
The underpass
We wanted the film to show two sides of a relationship back to back, the underpass been a location where the two would walk through together and divided. This location portrays a more realistic location for a modern love story, been a location used by everyone day to day, as opposed to a staged environment which is made to look romantic. I found the underpass to be quite an unsettling environment at night, hence the foreshadowing early on in the film.
The coffee shop
This location, we wanted to create the feeling of a warm environment, a place where the two first met and where their love began to blossom. This later juxtapositions as the two return to the location to resolve their relationship problems, with little success.
