An American Werewolf in London

Visible crew/equipment: The couple in the street are the first to be attacked by the werewolf in London. As they walk in the street past the houses, you can see a large Studio Light reflecting in the windows.

Visible crew/equipment: Once the doctor arrives at the pub in Yorkshire to 'investigate' it (as usual) rains. It is plain visible that the rain is water sprayed from several hoses.

Question: When David is starting to turn into a werewolf, he sees his entire body starting to change. So why is it that when he is talking to Alex the next morning he can't remember it happening and the last thing he remembers is reading a book?

Answer: Traumatic events have a tendency to disrupt the memory - people who have been involved in a car accident, for example, often have no memory of the events leading up to the accident, even though they would obviously have perceived those events at the time. The physical and mental stresses of the werewolf transformation have clearly disrupted David's memories in a similar fashion.
