Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,866
okay so we're gonna go through that version
2
00:00:08,966 --> 00:00:10,866
of the blocking uh
3
00:00:10,866 --> 00:00:13,966
again and every once in a while
4
00:00:14,066 --> 00:00:15,099
we're gonna stop
5
00:00:15,333 --> 00:00:19,933
I'll walk in and explain the reasoning for that staging
6
00:00:19,933 --> 00:00:22,266
and talk through some of the other possibilities
7
00:00:22,266 --> 00:00:23,966
that we might have been able to consider
8
00:00:23,966 --> 00:00:27,899
and then we'll carry on from there and action
9
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:29,699
what revolution David
10
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:31,333
you just let Richard Dixon claim
11
00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:33,099
the country was in a state of revolution
12
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:34,466
with protesters
13
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,800
with protesters bombing and assaulting police officers
14
00:00:39,133 --> 00:00:40,666
that's not what I remember
15
00:00:40,933 --> 00:00:43,133
what I remember was people protesting
16
00:00:43,133 --> 00:00:45,399
peacefully and legitimately about the Vietnam War
17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,400
that's what I remember
18
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,333
music off please
19
00:00:47,333 --> 00:00:49,266
music off by the end
20
00:00:49,533 --> 00:00:51,699
okay great so
21
00:00:52,066 --> 00:00:54,433
this is a position that the actors
22
00:00:54,533 --> 00:00:55,466
first and foremost
23
00:00:55,466 --> 00:00:56,299
and very importantly
24
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:57,700
fell into very
25
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:58,833
very naturally
26
00:00:58,866 --> 00:01:02,499
it it also lent itself to a good wide shot
27
00:01:02,533 --> 00:01:03,999
an establishing shot
28
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:05,333
uh that we could
29
00:01:05,333 --> 00:01:07,099
that we could do to establish the room
30
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,533
particularly the moment when he chases out the uh
31
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:11,233
imaginary uh
32
00:01:11,466 --> 00:01:13,566
actor who would one day be there playing
33
00:01:13,566 --> 00:01:14,466
playing the radio
34
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:16,599
it also creates some space
35
00:01:16,666 --> 00:01:21,899
and it gives an opportunity for a shot here that we did
36
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,266
uh where you have David in the foreground
37
00:01:24,266 --> 00:01:25,666
and you see that he's
38
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,266
he's trying to ignore
39
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:30,166
the pressure that's being put on him by everybody
40
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,166
uh and and it also gives a kind of a space
41
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:35,566
as though he's
42
00:01:35,566 --> 00:01:38,566
he's surrounded by three individuals who have a
43
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,300
you know a strong point of view
44
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:41,400
or upset with him
45
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,766
so it it it spatially
46
00:01:43,766 --> 00:01:44,366
uh you know
47
00:01:44,366 --> 00:01:45,699
I felt it created
48
00:01:46,133 --> 00:01:48,966
different lines that we could also work with
49
00:01:48,966 --> 00:01:50,133
over the shoulder here
50
00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:51,366
I remember we did
51
00:01:51,366 --> 00:01:52,799
and over the shoulder here
52
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,533
that we did
53
00:01:53,533 --> 00:01:55,966
so again it's this idea of
54
00:01:56,066 --> 00:01:59,266
of David being ganged up on by everyone
55
00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:00,899
so this first stop again
56
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:02,566
is where they organically landed
57
00:02:02,566 --> 00:02:03,999
when we did the first rehearsal
58
00:02:04,066 --> 00:02:05,999
um and maybe I tweaked it a little bit
59
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,800
just in order to position for the cameras
60
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,100
but this is where you guys
61
00:02:09,133 --> 00:02:11,199
naturally felt inclined to go yeah
62
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,133
um which is
63
00:02:12,133 --> 00:02:12,766
oh you know
64
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:13,666
always a good sign
65
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:15,966
it's a good idea by the way
66
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,833
to let actors
67
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:21,333
um begin to stage it on their own
68
00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:23,266
you might have one or two principles that
69
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:24,099
you know you need
70
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:24,800
for example
71
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,433
it needs to play near a
72
00:02:26,866 --> 00:02:27,766
you know a window
73
00:02:27,766 --> 00:02:29,666
or a light source or
74
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:30,333
you know you know
75
00:02:30,333 --> 00:02:32,766
you wanted the sun at their backs
76
00:02:32,766 --> 00:02:34,999
or just some basic idea like that
77
00:02:35,466 --> 00:02:37,666
but having been an actor I
78
00:02:37,666 --> 00:02:38,999
I've always found that when
79
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,933
when anytime
80
00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:40,733
the actors can
81
00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:43,066
can establish the staging on their own
82
00:02:43,266 --> 00:02:44,466
it's it's very helpful
83
00:02:44,466 --> 00:02:46,499
because it's organic to them
84
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:47,933
and then sometimes
85
00:02:47,933 --> 00:02:50,166
they'll have an instinct about something
86
00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:52,633
that is different from the one that you had
87
00:02:52,733 --> 00:02:53,466
as the director
88
00:02:53,466 --> 00:02:54,799
while you were making out the shot list
89
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,600
that works very
90
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,300
very well and might give you an idea like
91
00:02:58,300 --> 00:02:59,133
I remember at one point
92
00:02:59,133 --> 00:03:00,499
you sort of moved
93
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:01,133
yeah or you
94
00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:02,166
I can tell you
95
00:03:02,166 --> 00:03:04,099
you wanted to begin to move
96
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:05,266
and that you didn't
97
00:03:05,266 --> 00:03:06,066
and then I just
98
00:03:06,066 --> 00:03:07,166
that gave me the idea that well
99
00:03:07,166 --> 00:03:08,633
that would be a good spot
100
00:03:08,666 --> 00:03:10,566
for a very organic walk away from
101
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:11,599
from David so
102
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,566
those are the kind of things
103
00:03:12,566 --> 00:03:14,699
anyway this is where this staging landed
104
00:03:14,766 --> 00:03:16,999
and that's sort of our first stop in the scene
105
00:03:17,066 --> 00:03:18,566
okay carry on
106
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,400
and action by the end
107
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,800
wire tapping students
108
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,400
and breaking into journalist homes
109
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,533
was beginning to sound like a rational response
110
00:03:27,533 --> 00:03:28,566
I'm sorry feel this way
111
00:03:28,566 --> 00:03:31,266
but I simply cannot share your view about what
112
00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:33,099
at any of it Franklin
113
00:03:34,466 --> 00:03:36,066
thought today was a huge improvement
114
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:38,766
are you nuts
115
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,466
let me tell you how bad things were today
116
00:03:43,366 --> 00:03:44,599
after the taping finished
117
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,533
I overheard two members of the crew say
118
00:03:46,533 --> 00:03:48,666
that they never voted for him when they had the chance
119
00:03:48,666 --> 00:03:50,399
I love to stop there if we can
120
00:03:50,666 --> 00:03:53,199
okay and and just taking it back a little bit
121
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,800
go go back to where you were here
122
00:03:54,866 --> 00:03:55,899
and you were here
123
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:56,866
if I do one more time
124
00:03:56,866 --> 00:03:57,699
and if we if we can
125
00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:59,566
I'd love to stop a little bit earlier
126
00:03:59,566 --> 00:04:00,833
okay go ahead
127
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,600
and action by the end
128
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,533
wire tapping students and breaking into people's homes
129
00:04:06,533 --> 00:04:08,666
was beginning to sound like a rational response
130
00:04:08,733 --> 00:04:09,799
and I'm sorry you feel this way
131
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,566
but I simply cannot share your view about what
132
00:04:13,166 --> 00:04:14,366
any of it actually
133
00:04:14,366 --> 00:04:15,399
let's freeze air
134
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,533
so now again
135
00:04:17,533 --> 00:04:18,766
we've got um
136
00:04:18,766 --> 00:04:20,366
a really good axis
137
00:04:20,366 --> 00:04:21,766
a set of angles
138
00:04:21,766 --> 00:04:23,233
which we can look at
139
00:04:23,266 --> 00:04:24,266
at David Frost
140
00:04:24,266 --> 00:04:26,799
feeling this pressure from different directions
141
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,133
we can look at him this way
142
00:04:28,133 --> 00:04:29,499
he's got the window behind him
143
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:30,000
which is good
144
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
we can look at him this way
145
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:32,900
and you know
146
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:34,166
the pressure is on
147
00:04:34,166 --> 00:04:35,599
see it past his friend
148
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,066
we also are set up for a good reaction shot here
149
00:04:39,066 --> 00:04:41,399
where he looks to his friend for some support
150
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,100
and you know his friend
151
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:44,700
it clearly doesn't support him
152
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:46,200
so again this is a
153
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,733
it's a shift and it it
154
00:04:47,733 --> 00:04:50,299
it also suggested very much that David's
155
00:04:50,566 --> 00:04:52,766
growing a little bit more uncomfortable
156
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,166
and trying to
157
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:57,566
you know find a reason to not confront these guys
158
00:04:57,566 --> 00:05:00,299
and moves from here over to here
159
00:05:00,366 --> 00:05:01,933
um as I explained earlier
160
00:05:01,933 --> 00:05:04,966
I also wanted to stage the scene
161
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,033
and David over here by this window
162
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:08,866
because in a moment
163
00:05:08,866 --> 00:05:10,666
there's gonna be a confrontation
164
00:05:10,733 --> 00:05:13,799
um and I also wanted David to have plenty of space
165
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:17,033
um more real estate to cover to leave
166
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:19,166
giving rest in a chance to chase him
167
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:21,333
so the next thing that happens is
168
00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:22,999
you guys move together right
169
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:25,400
this is rest in really bearing down
170
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,900
he's his chief antagonist in this scene
171
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,633
and really pressuring in
172
00:05:29,666 --> 00:05:31,666
which makes everyone uncomfortable
173
00:05:31,666 --> 00:05:34,866
gave me a good chance for some reaction shots as well
174
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,500
um and reactions are very important
175
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:38,366
in scenes like this
176
00:05:38,366 --> 00:05:41,166
because they can really intensify a scene
177
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:42,499
sometimes a reaction shot
178
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,466
when you're doing a comedy
179
00:05:43,466 --> 00:05:45,599
is everything that you need to extend the laugh
180
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,600
by the way too
181
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,933
not that we were going for any laughs
182
00:05:47,933 --> 00:05:49,033
really in this scene
183
00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:50,666
but um you know if there
184
00:05:50,666 --> 00:05:52,099
if there's a joke
185
00:05:52,266 --> 00:05:54,499
and you're staging a comedy scene
186
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,066
and there's anyone else in the scene
187
00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:57,099
get that reaction shot
188
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,066
they go all the way back to the silent movies
189
00:05:59,066 --> 00:06:00,933
those are always the things that could
190
00:06:00,933 --> 00:06:02,666
could put the laugh over
191
00:06:02,733 --> 00:06:04,099
anyway so uh
192
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:05,666
I like the way this worked
193
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:09,533
with his pressure pressing in on day on David
194
00:06:09,533 --> 00:06:13,033
and then him having all of this space
195
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,566
which to try to escape with
196
00:06:15,566 --> 00:06:16,899
okay carry on
197
00:06:16,966 --> 00:06:20,466
so and action
198
00:06:22,366 --> 00:06:23,366
are you nuts
199
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:26,800
let me tell you how bad things were today
200
00:06:27,666 --> 00:06:28,933
after the taping finished
201
00:06:28,933 --> 00:06:30,533
I overheard 2 members of the crew
202
00:06:30,533 --> 00:06:31,866
say they wish they had voted
203
00:06:31,866 --> 00:06:33,899
they never voted for him when they had the chance
204
00:06:34,133 --> 00:06:36,666
but he ran for office again today
205
00:06:36,966 --> 00:06:38,366
he'd have their support
206
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:40,533
you made him look presidential
207
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:41,633
for Christ's sake
208
00:06:42,066 --> 00:06:43,666
and forget about the trivia David
209
00:06:43,666 --> 00:06:45,566
who cares whether Nixon took the White House to
210
00:06:45,566 --> 00:06:46,866
Europe when he traveled
211
00:06:46,866 --> 00:06:48,366
well it's irrelevant
212
00:06:49,066 --> 00:06:50,899
and it's just a sort of banal anecdote
213
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:52,000
that would distract
214
00:06:55,533 --> 00:06:56,366
what
215
00:06:57,566 --> 00:06:58,366
go on
216
00:06:59,733 --> 00:07:00,266
you're about to say
217
00:07:00,266 --> 00:07:02,633
talk show host and I think we should freeze there
218
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:07,000
and uh so now we've moved outside
219
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,666
David was trying to escape
220
00:07:08,766 --> 00:07:10,933
but we had an opportunity for
221
00:07:10,933 --> 00:07:11,699
um you know
222
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:12,466
a dramatic moment
223
00:07:12,466 --> 00:07:13,999
a turn he's caught
224
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
and finally he's going to confront these guys
225
00:07:16,366 --> 00:07:18,366
um and he does
226
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:24,433
and this is where David reclaims his role as the leader
227
00:07:24,666 --> 00:07:26,366
and you know
228
00:07:26,366 --> 00:07:29,499
and doesn't bend to to uh
229
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:30,100
you know to their
230
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,766
their criticism and
231
00:07:31,766 --> 00:07:33,566
and so it's uh I
232
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,200
I remember when we were making the movie
233
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,266
I really liked when we found this practical location
234
00:07:39,266 --> 00:07:41,499
that could begin in the garage
235
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:45,166
and then carry out into this kind of confined space
236
00:07:45,166 --> 00:07:47,399
because I felt like it was private
237
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,000
and yet you know
238
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,900
you think of a lot of things happening in alleys
239
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:51,966
getting beat up
240
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:53,966
for example
241
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,866
and so it just
242
00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:57,533
even though it wasn't not a dark
243
00:07:57,533 --> 00:07:58,466
scary alley
244
00:07:58,466 --> 00:08:00,366
it still suggests pressure
245
00:08:00,566 --> 00:08:02,266
and I wanted to try to create that pressure
246
00:08:02,266 --> 00:08:05,399
and yet see David work his way out of it
247
00:08:05,466 --> 00:08:08,799
and so this staging falls in nicely again
248
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200
because you got the pressure of the chief
249
00:08:11,333 --> 00:08:12,133
um you know
250
00:08:12,133 --> 00:08:13,066
antagonist here
251
00:08:13,066 --> 00:08:14,866
pressing on David
252
00:08:14,866 --> 00:08:17,566
and then you've got this opportunity to have
253
00:08:17,566 --> 00:08:18,966
um cutaways
254
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:20,766
close UPS of
255
00:08:20,766 --> 00:08:23,199
you know two other significant characters in the scene
256
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,233
okay let's continue right
257
00:08:27,866 --> 00:08:29,066
and action
258
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,166
say it you're about to say talk show host
259
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:36,566
yeah I was
260
00:08:38,066 --> 00:08:40,499
look it's useless me trying to answer your point
261
00:08:41,533 --> 00:08:43,666
frankly I don't share any of your sense of pessimism
262
00:08:43,666 --> 00:08:45,066
more alarm and this
263
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:47,766
this ridiculous self flagulation
264
00:08:47,766 --> 00:08:49,299
in my view is just depressing
265
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,100
and it's threatening to derail the whole enterprise
266
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:57,099
if anyone of you really believes we are going to fail
267
00:08:57,466 --> 00:09:01,199
you best leave right now or it'll infect everyone else
268
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:04,500
no one
269
00:09:06,533 --> 00:09:08,499
right good now
270
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:10,566
I suggest instead of festering around the hotel
271
00:09:10,566 --> 00:09:11,966
for the next five days
272
00:09:12,133 --> 00:09:13,999
we go our separate ways over Easter
273
00:09:14,333 --> 00:09:15,399
but before we go
274
00:09:15,933 --> 00:09:17,899
Caroline and I would like you to join us for a little
275
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,466
celebratory dinner over Patrick Terrell's place
276
00:09:21,266 --> 00:09:24,199
celebrate celebrate what David
277
00:09:24,566 --> 00:09:26,866
the fact that we're all gonna be working at Burger King
278
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,366
what are we celebrating
279
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:29,833
my birthday
280
00:09:31,133 --> 00:09:32,233
it's my birthday
281
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,433
and I'd like to celebrate it with a few friends
282
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,333
if you just go back for 1 second at the end
283
00:09:40,333 --> 00:09:42,666
I like this composition as well
284
00:09:42,766 --> 00:09:44,266
this was very useful
285
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:45,933
um because again
286
00:09:45,933 --> 00:09:49,199
I looking for ways to keep looking at
287
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:50,766
at David Frost
288
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:56,099
he's under attack and to keep tying him to his team
289
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:57,933
because his team is disappointed in him
290
00:09:57,933 --> 00:09:58,999
and he knows that
291
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,866
and I thought so
292
00:10:00,866 --> 00:10:04,333
you know this kind of space is good
293
00:10:04,333 --> 00:10:05,533
but it also allows the
294
00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:07,266
the over the shoulders that we did
295
00:10:07,266 --> 00:10:10,199
that tie him with to his
296
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,866
you know his
297
00:10:10,866 --> 00:10:11,799
these characters
298
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,233
these important characters
299
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:14,766
and it gives each
300
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,400
me a chance to have a different look at David Frost
301
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,933
based on the close up or the reaction shot
302
00:10:21,933 --> 00:10:23,599
that would be cutting off of
303
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,700
so it means I don't
304
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:25,933
we don't have to keep cutting back to
305
00:10:25,933 --> 00:10:28,099
the same shot over and over of David
306
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:29,800
we get a slightly different Vantage point
307
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,700
that's connected to one of our characters
308
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:34,666
and a lot of what you're trying to do with staging
309
00:10:34,666 --> 00:10:36,766
is create a kind of a connection
310
00:10:36,766 --> 00:10:41,599
and an ongoing shifting of the relationships um
311
00:10:41,666 --> 00:10:42,333
with the actors
312
00:10:42,333 --> 00:10:44,799
and then if you can allow the audience to sort of
313
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,333
share that shifting Vantage point
314
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:50,966
it's very subtle but it it
315
00:10:50,966 --> 00:10:52,533
it sort of broadens um
316
00:10:52,533 --> 00:10:54,199
I think their sense of uh
317
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400
of those relationships and
318
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,200
and it also keeps the
319
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,100
the images fresh
320
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:00,000
even though they might be very
321
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,766
very simple
322
00:11:00,766 --> 00:11:02,233
just over the shoulders
323
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,166
okay okay thank you
324
00:11:13,166 --> 00:11:14,566
alright we're gonna do it
325
00:11:14,566 --> 00:11:15,499
we're gonna go through again
326
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:17,000
we're still gonna stop in some places
327
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
and I'm gonna talk about um
328
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,500
camera options a little bit more
329
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:23,600
gonna talk about some camera options here
330
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,833
as we review the staging yet again
331
00:11:25,866 --> 00:11:27,466
okay ready and
332
00:11:27,466 --> 00:11:30,499
got one camera leading David in
333
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,500
another camera following alongside Reston in profile
334
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,566
and action what
335
00:11:36,566 --> 00:11:37,799
revolution David
336
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,700
you just let Richard Nixon claim
337
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,566
the country was in a state of revolution
338
00:11:41,566 --> 00:11:44,533
with protesters bombing and assaulting police officers
339
00:11:44,533 --> 00:11:46,066
that is not what I remember
340
00:11:46,366 --> 00:11:47,399
what I remember is
341
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,466
is people protesting peacefully and legitimately
342
00:11:50,466 --> 00:11:51,533
against the Vietnam War
343
00:11:51,533 --> 00:11:53,199
that's what I remember and stop
344
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,000
let's stop there okay great
345
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,566
so we have now
346
00:11:56,566 --> 00:11:58,999
is it the shot that I was talking about earlier
347
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,100
we've got David in the foreground
348
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,300
trying to avoid all of this conflict and pressure
349
00:12:04,466 --> 00:12:06,599
we've got another angle over here
350
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,066
let's just see what we've got
351
00:12:08,066 --> 00:12:10,599
a loose single on Reston
352
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,800
and as he moves around
353
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,566
we can see Bert in the background
354
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:14,966
and now let's now
355
00:12:14,966 --> 00:12:17,499
let's talk about some of the other staging that we did
356
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:18,466
for example
357
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:20,100
let's get one this way
358
00:12:20,266 --> 00:12:21,533
why don't you come around here
359
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:24,666
this is another example of the kind of shot we can get
360
00:12:24,666 --> 00:12:26,166
that can break this up
361
00:12:26,466 --> 00:12:29,233
uh and you can come in tighter on Reston
362
00:12:29,366 --> 00:12:30,466
and make sure the
363
00:12:30,466 --> 00:12:31,833
Bert is a profile
364
00:12:31,966 --> 00:12:34,466
this is another angle that we have
365
00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:38,099
you know we also wound up getting a clean single
366
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,333
unrest in here
367
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:40,633
come to your left
368
00:12:40,866 --> 00:12:43,099
we would be doing that in a different take
369
00:12:43,466 --> 00:12:45,866
right we would also get a reaction here
370
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:48,366
I'm Bert and we would
371
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,900
came in eventually
372
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:51,166
around this way
373
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:53,133
and did a single on
374
00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:55,266
oh sorry uh
375
00:12:55,266 --> 00:12:56,966
we did a single onto uh
376
00:12:56,966 --> 00:12:59,166
onto uh Zelnick as well
377
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,966
so that was the general coverage
378
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:02,133
before uh uh
379
00:13:02,133 --> 00:13:03,266
we also did
380
00:13:03,333 --> 00:13:03,999
as a recall
381
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,800
a wide shot from back there
382
00:13:05,866 --> 00:13:07,399
and coming over here
383
00:13:08,533 --> 00:13:09,833
we use this
384
00:13:11,066 --> 00:13:13,299
and I think you did a shot from here
385
00:13:13,466 --> 00:13:17,533
that actually moved along with him as he moved
386
00:13:17,533 --> 00:13:18,599
okay so why don't you do
387
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,233
set yourself for that position
388
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,466
and we'll carry on the scene
389
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,033
ready and action
390
00:13:26,266 --> 00:13:27,266
music off please
391
00:13:27,266 --> 00:13:29,133
music off okay okay
392
00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:30,933
hold so again
393
00:13:30,933 --> 00:13:32,366
we're back in a wide position
394
00:13:32,366 --> 00:13:34,533
which is probably where we would use the wide shot
395
00:13:34,533 --> 00:13:35,766
in this scene
396
00:13:35,766 --> 00:13:37,066
probably at the very beginning
397
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,899
or in a place like that where we
398
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:40,966
we see this kind of showdown
399
00:13:41,266 --> 00:13:45,099
and we would also see this character who's sitting here
400
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:46,566
get up and go and your
401
00:13:46,566 --> 00:13:49,066
your angle gets all of that right in the
402
00:13:49,066 --> 00:13:50,233
what lens are you on
403
00:13:51,066 --> 00:13:53,699
28 that's a wide wide lens
404
00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:54,699
possibly in a
405
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:56,166
in a in a location
406
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400
to make that even more visual and interesting
407
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,633
you'd go even wider
408
00:13:59,733 --> 00:14:02,999
probably go off the zoom and go to a prime lens
409
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,233
maybe at 14
410
00:14:04,766 --> 00:14:06,499
to make the garage you know
411
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,700
seem even bigger
412
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,866
probably put the camera down on the ground and you know
413
00:14:10,866 --> 00:14:12,166
just push it visually
414
00:14:12,166 --> 00:14:13,833
and make it a little more distinctive
415
00:14:14,066 --> 00:14:15,966
alright let's carry on thanks
416
00:14:18,566 --> 00:14:21,166
action music off please
417
00:14:21,166 --> 00:14:23,433
music off by the end
418
00:14:23,533 --> 00:14:24,766
wire tapping students
419
00:14:24,766 --> 00:14:26,399
and breaking into journalist homes
420
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,766
was beginning to sound like a rational response
421
00:14:28,766 --> 00:14:29,899
I'm sorry to feel this way
422
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:30,900
but I simply cannot show you
423
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:32,633
of you about what
424
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:34,200
about any of it
425
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:36,366
correctly kids
426
00:14:36,366 --> 00:14:37,233
freeze there
427
00:14:37,766 --> 00:14:39,966
now this is again another place where
428
00:14:40,466 --> 00:14:44,066
it's all about David trying to avoid confrontation
429
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,166
he's trying to feel good about it and
430
00:14:47,166 --> 00:14:49,966
and there they're being negative
431
00:14:49,966 --> 00:14:50,966
they're you know
432
00:14:50,966 --> 00:14:52,366
they're frightening him
433
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:53,933
and they're angering him
434
00:14:53,933 --> 00:14:56,166
so we had him leave one position
435
00:14:56,166 --> 00:14:57,633
and yet there they are
436
00:14:57,900 --> 00:14:59,300
they're still um
437
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:00,000
you know there's
438
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,500
they're still encroaching
439
00:15:01,566 --> 00:15:02,499
and in a minute
440
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:03,566
they're gonna go even further
441
00:15:03,566 --> 00:15:04,833
so camera wise
442
00:15:04,933 --> 00:15:07,699
again we wanna use these different axis points
443
00:15:07,766 --> 00:15:08,866
we wanted to shoot
444
00:15:09,066 --> 00:15:10,166
you know over Bert's shoulder
445
00:15:10,166 --> 00:15:11,533
this way we wanna
446
00:15:11,533 --> 00:15:13,266
we wanna shoot past David
447
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:14,566
you know of course
448
00:15:14,566 --> 00:15:16,733
we wanted to get a single on David
449
00:15:16,733 --> 00:15:17,666
which we did
450
00:15:18,166 --> 00:15:19,399
from over here
451
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,466
right probably past
452
00:15:21,466 --> 00:15:23,633
I think we did it over like that
453
00:15:23,733 --> 00:15:24,599
there's David
454
00:15:24,933 --> 00:15:26,699
great we did all of that
455
00:15:26,966 --> 00:15:29,533
also very important is an over the shoulder
456
00:15:29,533 --> 00:15:30,599
past resting
457
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,900
he's gonna be the primary
458
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:34,666
um antagonist here
459
00:15:34,666 --> 00:15:36,599
and when we carry on
460
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,500
we'll keep the cameras in this position
461
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,600
because resting is gonna move in on him
462
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,466
and the camera can move with him
463
00:15:42,466 --> 00:15:43,633
which gives
464
00:15:43,733 --> 00:15:45,433
you know a feeling of pressure
465
00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:49,399
you feel you feel David being encroached upon
466
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,000
because of that camera movement
467
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,166
and also the physical movement of the actor
468
00:15:53,266 --> 00:15:54,166
all right let's
469
00:15:54,166 --> 00:15:55,466
let's carry on from there
470
00:15:57,666 --> 00:16:00,833
and action I thought today was a huge improvement
471
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:04,700
are you nuts
472
00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:07,533
let me tell you
473
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:09,566
going with a little bit about how bad
474
00:16:09,566 --> 00:16:11,066
everything was today
475
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:13,166
after taping finished
476
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:15,666
I overheard two members of the crew say they wish they
477
00:16:15,666 --> 00:16:17,566
had voted for him when they had the chance
478
00:16:17,566 --> 00:16:18,399
and let's stop
479
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,366
so these are two important angles
480
00:16:20,533 --> 00:16:21,899
uh again this camera
481
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:22,766
where where's
482
00:16:22,766 --> 00:16:23,799
where are my students
483
00:16:24,333 --> 00:16:25,299
uh this time
484
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,566
this time this camera moved in with Reston
485
00:16:27,566 --> 00:16:28,466
very simple
486
00:16:28,466 --> 00:16:28,933
you know you've
487
00:16:28,933 --> 00:16:30,033
we've all seen it
488
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:32,566
you know 100,000 or a million times
489
00:16:32,566 --> 00:16:33,566
but it does
490
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,500
um you know
491
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:36,200
uses the grammar of the medium
492
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,533
it it is visually
493
00:16:37,533 --> 00:16:38,699
it's moving in with him
494
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:40,800
but there's also a very other simple
495
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,066
but important shot here
496
00:16:42,066 --> 00:16:43,699
and that's this 50 50
497
00:16:43,966 --> 00:16:46,099
it's a profile of the two of them
498
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:47,366
and it's a good
499
00:16:47,366 --> 00:16:48,866
confrontational angle
500
00:16:48,966 --> 00:16:51,133
and a great one to have for a scene like this
501
00:16:51,133 --> 00:16:52,133
which is you know
502
00:16:52,133 --> 00:16:55,666
a moment that's going to drive David to finally leaving
503
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:58,800
okay and carry on
504
00:16:59,266 --> 00:17:00,999
I overheard two crew members say
505
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,433
they never voted for him when they had the chance
506
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,400
but if he ran for office again today
507
00:17:06,533 --> 00:17:07,999
he'd have their support
508
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,066
you made him look presidential
509
00:17:10,066 --> 00:17:11,099
for Christ's sake
510
00:17:12,166 --> 00:17:13,299
and forget about the trivia
511
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:15,566
David who cares whether Nixon took the White House
512
00:17:15,566 --> 00:17:17,166
bed to Europe when he traveled
513
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:18,433
well it's irrelevant
514
00:17:18,733 --> 00:17:20,866
and it's just a sort of banal anecdote
515
00:17:20,866 --> 00:17:22,099
that would distract
516
00:17:25,733 --> 00:17:28,333
what okay let's stop there
517
00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:30,433
that was um um
518
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,900
dynamic because you
519
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:36,500
you you see David turn toward camera
520
00:17:37,333 --> 00:17:37,966
remember in there
521
00:17:37,966 --> 00:17:38,999
we were shooting over
522
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,300
over David's shoulder when he turned
523
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:45,533
you can bring the focus forward to him so that's
524
00:17:45,533 --> 00:17:47,499
that's powerful and
525
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,833
and then it energizes the scene
526
00:17:50,333 --> 00:17:51,899
visually and with the staging
527
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:53,466
because he's leaving
528
00:17:53,466 --> 00:17:54,399
he's had it
529
00:17:54,466 --> 00:17:56,099
and he comes out
530
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:57,400
camera stays with him
531
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,800
one fluid move
532
00:17:58,866 --> 00:17:59,866
even though it's handheld
533
00:17:59,866 --> 00:18:01,866
has some energy as a result of that
534
00:18:01,866 --> 00:18:03,833
you know it seems unplanned
535
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,400
and then David stops because he's been insulted
536
00:18:08,066 --> 00:18:09,333
um you know
537
00:18:09,333 --> 00:18:09,733
and it's all
538
00:18:09,733 --> 00:18:11,799
it's gone sort of one step too far
539
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,066
and then using the same shot
540
00:18:14,066 --> 00:18:16,199
you tie him back into his adversary
541
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,566
in this particular scene
542
00:18:17,566 --> 00:18:19,366
when you're staging scenes
543
00:18:19,366 --> 00:18:21,899
it doesn't really matter what the genre is
544
00:18:22,133 --> 00:18:23,499
doesn't matter if it's fantasy
545
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:24,866
comedy or drama
546
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:26,066
it it it it's
547
00:18:26,066 --> 00:18:28,199
it's always about objectives
548
00:18:28,533 --> 00:18:29,366
um you know
549
00:18:29,366 --> 00:18:31,699
good scenes are always written with
550
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:32,600
with objectives there
551
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,166
there's conflict there
552
00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:35,166
and you know
553
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:37,599
there's usually one character that's
554
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,300
that's pushing scene
555
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:40,600
pushing the conflict
556
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,300
another character is reacting to it
557
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:44,300
strategizing
558
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:45,533
maybe counter punching
559
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:46,999
punching um
560
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
and so you want your staging to reflect that
561
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,200
whenever it can
562
00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:54,399
um sometimes it's just as simple
563
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,333
as two people sitting across the table
564
00:18:56,333 --> 00:18:57,766
and it's all in the acting
565
00:18:57,966 --> 00:18:59,966
you may not wanna move the camera at all
566
00:18:59,966 --> 00:19:02,699
you may wanna let it be entirely an acting moment
567
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:04,533
but this this is a scene that
568
00:19:04,533 --> 00:19:05,499
where I felt
569
00:19:05,566 --> 00:19:08,999
we just had been coming from an interview scene
570
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,066
where they were two characters in a chair
571
00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:13,066
for a long time
572
00:19:13,066 --> 00:19:14,099
and so it's important to me
573
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:14,700
rhythmically
574
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:15,566
in the movie
575
00:19:15,566 --> 00:19:16,866
that for this scene
576
00:19:16,866 --> 00:19:18,533
that there's a kind of a fluid you know
577
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:21,033
a fluidity and emotion and an energy
578
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:23,833
that differentiates it from the scene that preceded it
579
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,866
after this we go into a real chaotic party scene
580
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,199
that's very festive
581
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,366
and there's the irony that he's trying to have you know
582
00:19:31,366 --> 00:19:32,799
a Hollywood party
583
00:19:32,966 --> 00:19:35,666
um but we know that you know
584
00:19:35,666 --> 00:19:39,199
that he's really recently been confronted by his guys
585
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,300
in a dingy um
586
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:42,866
garage and an alleyway
587
00:19:43,166 --> 00:19:45,166
okay so this is
588
00:19:45,166 --> 00:19:46,533
this is very good staging
589
00:19:46,533 --> 00:19:48,733
um some of the angles that we want here
590
00:19:48,733 --> 00:19:49,533
are what we've got here
591
00:19:49,533 --> 00:19:50,799
with the over the shoulder
592
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,000
uh of course
593
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,500
we're also gonna want individual reaction shots
594
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,766
one should come forward
595
00:19:56,733 --> 00:19:57,899
of each person
596
00:19:58,666 --> 00:20:01,066
now we this is important
597
00:20:01,066 --> 00:20:02,933
you see we're seeing off the set
598
00:20:02,933 --> 00:20:03,999
now if we were doing this
599
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,400
I probably would cheat you over a little bit
600
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,566
to make sure that we we
601
00:20:07,566 --> 00:20:09,866
we not seeing too much onto the wall
602
00:20:09,933 --> 00:20:10,466
because those
603
00:20:10,466 --> 00:20:11,999
again flat walls
604
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,100
are never interesting
605
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:14,166
you don't really want
606
00:20:14,166 --> 00:20:15,533
unless it's making a point
607
00:20:15,533 --> 00:20:17,699
you don't really want a shot like this
608
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,266
look off that way
609
00:20:19,266 --> 00:20:20,766
you know into a flat wall
610
00:20:20,766 --> 00:20:21,699
unless that's
611
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:23,700
you know the graphic that you're looking for
612
00:20:23,766 --> 00:20:25,766
is somebody who's up against the wall
613
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,099
who's isolated
614
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:28,000
or something like that
615
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,266
there may be a reason
616
00:20:29,266 --> 00:20:30,233
but otherwise
617
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,366
generally speaking
618
00:20:31,366 --> 00:20:32,333
it's always good
619
00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:35,966
to try to search for as much depth as you can in a shot
620
00:20:36,133 --> 00:20:37,899
and so we have a version like that
621
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:38,800
and likewise
622
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,966
when we would do
623
00:20:40,166 --> 00:20:41,699
a reaction shot of Burt
624
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:43,666
we wouldn't shoot back into the wall
625
00:20:43,666 --> 00:20:46,566
we'd Rake along down the alleyway
626
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:47,833
and of course
627
00:20:48,366 --> 00:20:49,166
last but not least
628
00:20:49,166 --> 00:20:50,066
is gonna be
629
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,433
this reverse back on to David
630
00:20:52,933 --> 00:20:54,033
which we've
631
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:55,266
talked about
632
00:20:55,466 --> 00:20:58,399
and then the other thing are these connecting shots
633
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,500
that we discussed
634
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:00,500
so there's one over
635
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:01,700
resting there's
636
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:03,200
come on back a little bit
637
00:21:03,466 --> 00:21:04,799
go over this shoulder
638
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:06,700
for this shot
639
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,166
probably would cheat it
640
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:09,833
so if you come over that shoulder
641
00:21:10,533 --> 00:21:12,366
I would do a separate setup for it
642
00:21:12,366 --> 00:21:14,599
and I would make sure that we
643
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,466
we open it up and clear
644
00:21:16,733 --> 00:21:19,666
and you never notice those kind of subtle changes
645
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:20,300
you know those
646
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,400
those little shifts are fine
647
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,266
in the editing
648
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:24,066
if you especially
649
00:21:24,066 --> 00:21:25,633
you would cut away to somebody
650
00:21:25,733 --> 00:21:27,133
uh a reaction shot
651
00:21:27,133 --> 00:21:28,099
and then come back
652
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:30,500
and you wouldn't think about the fact that you know
653
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,100
they were really facing each other's
654
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,200
directly now
655
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,100
we just would open the shot up a little bit
656
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,766
so that we're seeing the character that we wanna see
657
00:21:37,766 --> 00:21:39,099
which is what we would have here
658
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:40,333
and this is the shot
659
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:43,633
that also connects him to his entire team
660
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,366
that combined with the reaction shots give you
661
00:21:47,366 --> 00:21:48,566
gives you a sense really
662
00:21:48,566 --> 00:21:49,599
of the team
663
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,500
the dynamics
664
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,200
and the disintegration of that
665
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:52,900
or at least
666
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:54,100
the jeopardy
667
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,833
that the team is facing
668
00:21:56,533 --> 00:21:57,666
okay great job
669
00:21:57,666 --> 00:21:58,966
okay thank you
