1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:08,900
[Music]

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,440
I want to simulate basically not

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,279
performance although keep performing it

4
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:18,439
keep playing it as actors because I want

5
00:00:18,439 --> 00:00:21,039
to lay out the shots so I want to Stage

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:24,160
for the camera now if I was shooting

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,519
this would be on the shooting day mhm

8
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:28,160
and I would have had a careful shot list

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,240
and things like that which I haven't

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,720
really done because I want to experiment

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,440
with several different um you know uh

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,360
versions of uh of the scene uh but for

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,719
now we've we've kind of gotten the the

14
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:42,520
character movement working uh and uh

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,239
we're going to start working with

16
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:47,320
various shots okay so Frost Nixon was

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,440
was sort of done in a in a loose kind of

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280
naturalistic sometimes handheld way and

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,760
my feeling about this scene then and now

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,359
is that there's a there's a kind of an

21
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:00,320
energy to doing this scene handheld so

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,199
for my movie version then and what I

23
00:01:02,199 --> 00:01:03,920
would sort of say is our is our most

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,320
ambitious version now I would go for

25
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,960
handheld with a couple of other specific

26
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:11,119
shots mixed in I'm going to do quite a

27
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:14,240
bit of coverage for this scene uh and

28
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,200
we'll experiment with all of those all

29
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,520
of those ideas so why don't we start

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,600
with a camera back here wide because

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,520
we're going to sort of start with our

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,400
masters what's your Zoom 28 to 7 let's

33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,759
go with a 28 which will give you a good

34
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:30,880
full figure here right but because we do

35
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,320
want movement why don't we think about

36
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,439
as they settle in why don't you just

37
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:38,520
sort of drift in and over maybe go with

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,000
David from where's your first stop here

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,119
so you kind of hold that as wide as you

40
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:47,799
can right and then just drift over with

41
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:50,479
him when he comes over here to this desk

42
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:54,439
so you're uh why don't you go um in

43
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:59,399
because there's U why don't you be wide

44
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:02,439
but kind of hide over here stay out of

45
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:06,200
the a camera right and just pan them in

46
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,039
through the doorway so that way you're

47
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,039
not violating his space you're not

48
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,680
you're not in his shot um but you can

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,879
get this and then when David Frost comes

50
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:18,120
through why don't you pull with

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,160
him um and uh and you know and then fall

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400
fall in over here as the others come and

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,080
then when he turns back you've got kind

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,640
of a medium widish over the shoulder

55
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:31,040
okay so you'll be the second master you

56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,920
like me to stay camera left of him yeah

57
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:36,640
let's go this way um like that because

58
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,599
that that helps with the the coverage

59
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,720
and a reverse shot later and the other

60
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,879
thing is is that and you know you never

61
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:44,519
want in this kind of coverage to be

62
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:46,680
having to shoot straight into a wall

63
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,519
because it's very boring so it's one of

64
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:50,239
the cheapest things that you can do to

65
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:51,879
give a you know to give any kind of

66
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,640
staging some de some some scope is to

67
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,959
create depth in the staging so you want

68
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:59,360
to use light you want to lose use space

69
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,640
and unless you're making a point of you

70
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,680
know somebody trapped or something like

71
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440
that you know you never want to get into

72
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,040
a situation where a person's coverage is

73
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,280
has to be jammed you know straight back

74
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,120
into a wall just it just uh just looks

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,280
terrible so like when you go back over

76
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,440
there make sure you don't get too close

77
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,799
to that wall but also the coverage will

78
00:03:17,799 --> 00:03:19,319
be good because we'll be raking along

79
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:21,879
down this way okay so let's just try it

80
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:24,440
so you're going to be wide and you'll

81
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,159
you'll see when he starts to come right

82
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:28,239
you pull with

83
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:30,840
him when he goes

84
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,239
here you know I think what you can do is

85
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:35,840
as they start to go is just come over

86
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,920
and we'll just see what we can get you

87
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,159
know maybe some sort of U I think you're

88
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,519
going to kind of be dead at that point

89
00:03:42,519 --> 00:03:44,879
but just just follow them out the door

90
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,480
you know just hold here okay great so

91
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,640
let's try that let's walk through the

92
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,680
scene and we'll see what that looks like

93
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,439
I'm going to stop and go to try to make

94
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,400
some adjustments for the camera as we go

95
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:04,239
okay yeah you guys you ready with your

96
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:06,439
wide so we're pretending this is the

97
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:08,200
doorway to a garage in fact start back a

98
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,840
little further because I'd like you to

99
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,200
I'd like to feel like you're actually

100
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,560
can see the edges of the garage door and

101
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,570
everything okay

102
00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:19,920
[Music]

103
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,960
great are we

104
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000
set good to go yeah all right yeah yeah

105
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,360
and action what Revolution David you

106
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,720
just let Richard Nixon claimed the

107
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560
country was in a state of Revolution

108
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,840
with protesters bombing and assaulting

109
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:36,960
police officers that that's not how I

110
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,280
remember it what I remember was people

111
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,120
protesting peacefully and legitimately

112
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,759
against the Vietnam War that's what I

113
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:45,320
Remember music off please music off hang

114
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,880
on for one sec so when he comes in here

115
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,919
don't press in quite so tight okay so

116
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:52,120
that you can come in to something like

117
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,360
this widish but like that right okay and

118
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,840
that way you'll be able to come over and

119
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,160
cross over with him let's just start it

120
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,440
again from the top see if we can fall

121
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,720
ease into that position

122
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,759
sure

123
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,680
okay and action what Revolution David

124
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,120
you just let Richard Nixon claim the

125
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,800
country was in a state of Revolution

126
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,560
with protesters bombing and assaulting

127
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,720
police officers that's not how I

128
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,960
remember it what I remember was people

129
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,080
protesting peacefully and legitimately

130
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,840
against the Vietnam

131
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,960
war music off please music off by the

132
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120
wiretapping students and breaking into

133
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,919
journalist homes was beginning to sound

134
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:36,039
like a rational response I'm sorry you

135
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:37,440
feel this way but I simply cannot share

136
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,440
your view about what about any of it

137
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,680
frankly I thought today was a huge

138
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Improvement are you nuts uh hang on one

139
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,160
second so when we do it we uh so when he

140
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,919
lands over here that which is a good

141
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:55,080
move you should be here find that lens

142
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,440
so that when you take that look uh you

143
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,199
know you're you're you're not blocked

144
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:01,160
got right okay that's good we carry on

145
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,600
so take it from there where you just

146
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600
looked at him yeah be out a little

147
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,199
further a little further if we were

148
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,080
doing this we'd Mark you we're not right

149
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,120
now so okay I thought today was a huge

150
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,360
Improvement are you

151
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,560
nuts let me tell you how bad things were

152
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,039
today after the taping finished I

153
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:22,759
overheard two members of the crew say

154
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:24,080
they never voted for him when they had

155
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,680
the chance but if he ran again today

156
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,199
he'd have their support you're making

157
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:32,880
him look presidential for Christ's sake

158
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,160
and forget about the trivia David who

159
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,560
cares whether Nixon took the White House

160
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,080
bed to Europe when he

161
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Trav well it's

162
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,960
irrelevant and it's just a sort of

163
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,919
banale anecdote that would distract

164
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:47,639
the distractor

165
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:51,680
what go you say it you're about to say

166
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,840
talk show

167
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,319
hos said find the lens yeah good good

168
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:59,639
staging I was

169
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:01,919
look it's useless me trying to answer

170
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:04,720
your points frankly I don't share any of

171
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,720
your sense of of pessimism or alarm and

172
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,000
this ridiculous self flagellation in my

173
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,240
view is just

174
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,440
depressing now let me stop one for one

175
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,879
second now if what Linds you on there

176
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:17,759
you're on a 32 well that's pretty good

177
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,599
now let me just see if you can get Bert

178
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:23,319
in also back shre great I think that's

179
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:25,039
where we'd want to actually land on this

180
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:26,759
cop that if we were doing it so let's

181
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:28,240
just overlap it from where you come

182
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,879
through and just for the heck of it

183
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:32,120
let's just you'll come back to this spot

184
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,319
you you'll guard it and make sure he

185
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,080
doesn't fall down and get hurt great

186
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,319
just from where you cross through okay

187
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,159
great

188
00:07:43,159 --> 00:07:47,159
great all right um now let's get the a

189
00:07:47,159 --> 00:07:50,080
camera again since we're doing a pickup

190
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,840
I would probably use this opportunity

191
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,280
for just for you to to get down low get

192
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,879
super wide and let's just get that exit

193
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,800
as they go walking out okay and you're

194
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,039
still keeping the other camera out so

195
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:04,960
you're backing up a little bit is he out

196
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,800
of

197
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,680
frame yeah yeah great okay yeah good

198
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,000
good everybody clear good action I do

199
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,520
well it's a relevant let's go back a

200
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360
little further since we've got this this

201
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,120
wide shot that I've just designed uh

202
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,440
just do that last part where you're

203
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,240
where you come walking over to him okay

204
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,080
okay yeah yeah let's take it you just

205
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,800
did it let's take it from where you walk

206
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,560
were you cross over

207
00:08:34,839 --> 00:08:36,760
okay that was it beginning to sound like

208
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,120
a rational response yeah yeah okay and

209
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,680
action by the end wiretapping students

210
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:44,800
and breaking into journalist homes was

211
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,160
beginning to sound like a rational

212
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160
response I'm sorry you feel this way I

213
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,519
simply cannot share your view about what

214
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:52,560
about any of it

215
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:56,399
frankly I thought today was a huge

216
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,320
Improvement are you nuts

217
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,279
let me tell you how bad things were

218
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:06,360
today after the taping finished I

219
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,160
overheard two crew members say they

220
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,600
never voted for him when he had the

221
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,560
chance but if he ran for office again

222
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,839
today he get their support you're making

223
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:18,680
him look presidential for Christ's sake

224
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,720
and forget about the trivia David who

225
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,279
cares whether Nixon took the White House

226
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:23,920
bed with him to Europe when he traveled

227
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,880
well

228
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,680
it's well it's irrelevant okay let's

229
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,200
take that turn again you should chase

230
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,959
him and be talking the whole way don't

231
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:34,880
wait to get there so so just take it

232
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,720
from right right before I do

233
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,160
okay okay ready yeah and action who

234
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,640
cares whether Nixon took the White House

235
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,320
bed with him to Europe when he traveled

236
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,440
well it's

237
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,800
irrelevant and it's just a sort of Bol

238
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,279
anecdote that would distract

239
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,160
a

240
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,279
what no go on

241
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:01,600
you're about to say talk show host

242
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,120
aren't you can you just come over a

243
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,480
little bit that way so that that does

244
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,839
that open them up a little bit so on the

245
00:10:08,839 --> 00:10:10,240
day if we were shooting we'd be going

246
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,600
for that

247
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,040
great look it's useless me trying to

248
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,040
answer your points frankly I don't share

249
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,680
any of your sense of pessimism or alarm

250
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,320
and this ridiculous self flagellation in

251
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,880
my view is just depressing and

252
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,120
threatening to derail the whole

253
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Enterprise

254
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,480
if anyone of you thinks we are going to

255
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,240
fail they' better leave now or it'll

256
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,639
infect everyone

257
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:38,160
else no

258
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,200
one right

259
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,800
