Shooting one scene over five days, looking for just the right image, can turn a fretful day golden.
Director Damien Chazelle writes a new love letter to Hollywood in the visually ambitious epic “Babylon,” a story that harks back to a time when silent films were being overtaken by the first “talkies” of the silver screen. Frequent collaborator and cinematographer Linus Sandgren developed a visual grammar rich in realism, capturing environments on celluloid with anamorphic lenses.
“We took to the extremes a bit more on this film because it needed to have a bit of attitude in the language,” Sandgren says. Exteriors provided the perfect playground for the Oscar-winning cinematographer to shoot the settings hot and overexposed, which created a contrast with the darker, moody interiors. For a very meta scene that has high-profile actor Jack Conrad scurrying up a hill to kiss a princess at sunset, the picturesque moment was shot over five days only in the golden hour.
