Julie Kirkwood (DP) & Writer-Director Mia Trachinger On Scouting Out the Chase Sequence Location
|
Mia and I knew that the office building location was going to be very important in terms of the look of Exposure. When the building with a strange layout and a lot of glass became an option, we both hesitated because it wasn't how we pictured that part of the film. Pretty quickly, we did a complete turnaround and decided we needed that building. Mia and I made several visits to the building to shotlist together. Our storyboarding sessions consisted of running around with a DSLR shooting video and stills of Mia acting out the scenes. Above is a shot of Mia simultaneously playing the roles of a crowd of office workers desperately running from government agents and a man being trampled by them. It's one of my favorite shots in the finished film-- and one of my favorite storyboard videos. |
