Marcos Cooper Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) How did Roger Deakins keep the scene and the characters so organized and easy to follow during the chase scene in the last act of 1917? The chase begins just after George MacKay strangles the German soldier (about page 91 in the script). It seems like an impossible cinematographic challenge—low, shadowy lighting, constantly moving camera, all the characters about the same size and shape; yet it's clear the whole time who is doing what. Were there any particular techniques used?

Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) ...there is a reason Deakins is rated #1. The proof of his mastery is in the pudding. Edited January 24, 2020 by Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
