All language subtitles for Module 38

And now
let's talk about how we use morphs.

In la la land.

Here was a lot of improvised material.

Ryan Gosling and J.K.

Simmons, who plays
his boss, had a fun time shooting this.

There was a lot of improvised
joking and laughing.

It was good in that
it made the moments more real.

They felt more authentic.

But sometimes those things are hard
to edit together because of continuity.

And this was something that was.

Sync shot single camera,
if I remember correctly.

So matching back and forth can be hard.

So this was something we had to do.

Somewhere in here
we do a morph to take out a flap

that Ryan Gosling had a flub, meaning
he said the line a line incorrectly.

So we had to take that out.
We just cut it out.

And then we joined the two pieces of film
together and join them with a morph.

So it would be seamless.

So somewhere in here, there's a morph
somewhere there.

Now we're into another piece of film.

We jumped over the mistake.

And again, that

that was that was something where

unlike a movie like Whiplash,
which is so heavily cut,

we could hide a lot of the things

we wanted to hide behind the cuts.

On La Island, we did not have that luxury.

Often we had to find ways to hide cuts.

In an unbroken shot in something
that appeared to be an unbroken shot.

So that was a very different challenge.

We had a while and then we had a whiplash.

And here, simple,
very simple grammar. But.

But something that's very important
to Damian.

When Sebastian says the last line,

trying to get him not to fire them,
he says, But it's Christmas.

That's where you cut to the other angle.

You cut to to shop,

to add your punctuation to the moment,
to add the end of the scene where J.K.

Simmons says No decorations.

Good luck in the new year.

And again, I when I go through scenes,

I look for moments
to make those angle changes.

They're they're very again,
they're very simple.

But I think that's something
that is important to do.

You want to make every cut count.

Now we're back in a different
point of view.

And I would say that sound effect
was very important to Damian.

That had to be very big.

It almost had to be violent that
that sound of Sebastian's body hitting

had to really be offensive.

It had to really be clear that

these were two people
who were not ready to connect yet.

And so the sound of that
was actually very important.

Just you and I

and the cutting of this back and forth of
Emma Stone approaching and Ryan leaving.

That's something that was very important
for us to set up a certain way

with a certain amount of rhythm,
because that's something that later on,

when we go to the fantasy version
of this moment, in the end of the movie,

Damien wanted to match the cutting
of that almost exactly.
