Anatomy of a Scene
Directors offer behind-the-scenes narration on their films.
In this video, the director Yann Demange narrates a scene from his debut feature, “’71,” featuring Jack O’Connell. The film is set in Belfast during the Troubles, and this scene involves a British soldier (Mr. O’Connell) being chased through an apartment complex. Here, Mr. Demange discusses slowing down the pace of the sequence and, in relation to lighting, treating the scene almost like a horror movie.
