Bring Reklam

Who opens the door?
This was another commercial where I participated as an extra and it was interesting to see how - first of all - the director and the director of photography did not see eye to eye on very much. This lead to long pauses where they discussed how to proceed and sometimes we wondered if they would be able to proceed at all!

Secondly, this scene was retaken five or six times and finally they decided for the first take! I initially opened the door like above, then they wanted me to open the door but stay inside. After this they asked me to kneel down and open the door without being seen! This in spite of the fact that they had asked me to dress like above, like some kind of official person leaving the building. 
A lot of takes and material waisted because of... bad planning?
