As the cinematographer, I faced several logistical challenges during the last day of filming. The tackle scene was something we really had to think about as it was supposed to be a continuation from the previous shot. So the angles had to be in accordance with the scene. We did have to do multiple takes and I had to explain the exact place and way the actor was supposed to land.
But one of the most significant challenges we encountered was the safety of our actors. Initially, we planned a more physically demanding scene involving a forceful takedown. However, to decrease the risk of injury, we decided to modify the action. By dividing the scene into two parts and strategically framing the shots, we were able to convey the intended impact without compromising the actor's well-being.
The editor has a crucial role in seamlessly blending these two shots, creating the illusion of a continuous action sequence. By carefully selecting the right angles and timing the cuts, he should be able to maintain the momentum of the scene and avoid any jarring transitions.
