As Adolescence Was it filmed?
During interview with Varietythe director of photography Matthew Lewis He talked about the method of filming in a sequence plane, a plan that records the action of an entire sequence, without cuts. That is, all episodes were filmed in one take, without breaks.
“There is no take seam. It was a single shot from start to finish, whether I wanted it or not,” he said. “We worked as in a dance: the camera moved in tune with the actors. Every detail was designed to flow all out of cut.”
So, to be able to do something authentic and natural, the production team adopted a strategy that combines precise choreography, planned camera movement and strategic scenario location. However, one of the main challenges happened in the second episode, located in a school with several children on the board
It was a real organized chaos. The entire school was involved for the scene to work.
Several movies and series that adopt the sequence plan end up using some camera tricks and computer graphics to disguise the cuts and pretend that everything has been filmed in just one take.
