‘Ballerina’ | Anatomy of a Scene

Howdy, I’m Len Wiseman and I’m the director of “Ballerina.” So at this level within the story, Eve performed by Ana de Armas, she doesn’t know that she’s really within the Satan’s Den. And so this can be a scene the place throughout the enjoyable of the motion, “I’m not going to harm you.” You’re additionally revealing, Oh my God, everyone on this city is an murderer. So for this combat, Jackson Spidell labored out a choreography that was in very tight quarters. And the plan of what we’re going to do finally ends up altering if you get on location. As a result of, such as you see, it’s rather more of a decent house than what we had been like practising on a stage. So this shot proper right here, the highest shot, was an extremely onerous one to get in only a tight house. We needed to construct a whole rig. It took about two hours simply to set it up. However I felt like that is the shot that makes individuals giggle. I did need music that simply felt such a distinction. That additionally made you’re feeling snug, fairly tacky, and to only mislead. One of many issues that we had been doing after we had been practising that is simply discover and use every thing in a diner that could possibly be used as a potential weapon. What I used to be going for is let’s have this one be violent, but in addition make individuals giggle.
