1917: How many sockets were necessary for this false sequence plan?
Sam Mendes tells us about the meticulous shooting of his war film, to (re) see this Sunday on France 2.
If he did everything to make the cuts as little visible as possible, Sam Mendes obviously did not turn the entirety of 1917 at once.
In the issue of First From January 2020, we asked the director how many sockets were necessary. We set off again on the occasion of the first broadcast of this clear war film on Sunday on France 2.
“”I don’t want to reveal how many plans we have turned to ‘compose’ the sequence. But if I had to give an estimate, I would say between 40 and 50 sockets on average. The simplest scenes were the hardest, as you would expect (it smiles), while the end – the race along the trench – was easier to make, with only four or five plugs. And yet there are a hundred extras taken in explosions. This required a whole mechanism to reset to each socket. In fact, we were much more concentrated to get a fair result. “
1917: Virtuoso show or empty shell? Criticism “For or against”
Shortly after his release, the filmmaker revealed that an actor had particularly stressed during the shooting of 1917And Fat several sockets by itself: Andrew Scott (Sherlock,, Fleabag), who interprets Lieutenant Leslie. Especially because of a defective lighter. “”Andrew, in his only scene, has made more mistakes than all the rest of the castingexplained Mendes laughing at the Bbc. You can film incredible seven minutes, and then if someone is watching, if a lighter does not work or if an actor forgets half of his sentence, that means that nothing that has been filmed is usable. And you have to start again. “
