Revisiting our thread about #TheMummy's bookcase stunt, and re-digging up this BTS insight, is such a treat!

@_shotzero @RWWFilm I worked on this film and this was a 1 take shot. We filled those bookcases with 10,000 real books, a buttload of fake books and a forests worth of loose paper. The bookcases were rigged with hydraulics to make them rise and fall but the bookcases were destroyed during the take.

#AnEducation 3/3 The shots underscore what’s going on under the shiny, socially-accepted surface, as Danny compares David to a lumbering, old, stuffed animal.

#AnEducation 2/3 As Danny draws our attention to the animal, then speaks 'for' and responds to it — “He wants to kiss you. That’s revolting!” — the next shots are of David, or with David and the armadillo framed in close proximity.

An Education is about an older man David (Peter Sarsgaard) seducing schoolgirl Jenny (Carey Mulligan), while charming or strong-arming everyone around them into thinking his behaviour perfectly acceptable. Here, Danny (Dominic Cooper) lifts a taxidermied armadillo into frame...

Just your average establishing shot, a wide of New York from high on some building, or other, shot by second unit . . . but then it starts moving! This scene from Crossing Delancey starts as one thing, and you won't guess where it goes from there. 1/2

OBSESSION is a melodrama in conversation with others, whose text (sub- & meta-) interrogates our imprisonment in the past (be it our dead in tombs, or our love of an old master’s film) that handcuffs us to what came before & drives us to commit atrocities beyond our understanding

Last Supper imagery pops up in plenty of TV (including our post from yesterday!), and in animation you can really play with it; such as this shot from Little Women (2002) title sequence, which replaces the ‘disciples’ faces with framed pictures crucial plot items.

A Matter of Life and Death (1946): Yeah, it’s just the best isn’t it. Powell and Pressburger’s run in the 1940s is unearthly. You see the influence on Jarman, Greenaway, Hogg so clearly. Imagine seeing these in the 1940s-you’d think you were in heaven

This scene from #Monsterland is a two-fer: first, the sequence of Stanley Price (Bill Camp) shows us an instantly recognisable Last Supper tableau, before turning the shot around and using a chandelier as a ‘crown of thorns’ imagery.

Today we watch four scenes from 1959's THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTED, and how they motivate their dramatically swinging, blinking, and flickering lights.

When Clara (Anabeth Gish) walks into the room in The Haunting of Hill House 1.09 “Screaming Meemies” it’s almost a moment of suspense wondering whether she will step forward so as to be framed as the angel . . . and then, of course she does.

This week is about creating recognisable statues and art within the frame - starting with this shot from "But I'm a Cheerleader" which very ironically poses the head of a conversion therapy camp as the Statue of Liberty.

What if your shots make it suuuuuuper obvious a character has POOF! disappeared mid-scene? How do you fix it? We look at this scene from #Shrinking to find out! 1/2
