I am the writer- director of \u201cEddington.\u201d As we start, I just want to say that this is a pivotal scene in the film, and it is best for you to have watched the film before watching this, as this is a spoiler. So we are nearing the midpoint of the film here, and we are now following Joaquin Phoenix\u2019s character, Sheriff Joe cross, who\u2019s the sheriff of Sevilla County, as he investigates a noise complaint on the property of incumbent Mayor Ted Garcia, played by Pedro Pascal. Emma Stone on the TV there. That is Joe\u2019s wife. She is denying a recent statement by her husband, which is now being used against him. That\u2019s why he\u2019s unplugging the TV. One thing I like about long unbroken takes is that you can follow the actors around and really just allow them to live in a space. And I find Joaquin\u2019s body language here really great, especially when you\u2019re just on his back for so long. Like, Joaquin\u2019s one of those physical actors where sometimes his back tells you even more than his front. And so this is a Steadicam shot. Not too crazy, but difficult enough because there\u2019s a lot of choreography here. Ted Garcia is Joe Cross\u2019s nemesis. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re not here on rape charges?\u201d \u201cDidn\u2019t really pan out for you, did it?\u201d And this is a scene where I\u2019m playing a lot with sound. It took a little while in the sound mix to get this, because you have music playing from a source that, based on where the camera is, keeps moving around. And I do like panning sound around the room in a theater. The song that\u2019s playing right now is \u201cFirework\u201d by Katy Perry. I just needed the song to really sound like the culture. There have been a lot of words exchanged. So far in the film. A lot of strategic moves made by both of these characters, and this will be the point of no return. Turn the noise down! II like how it kind of knocks Joaquin\u2019s glasses off. And Joaquin really excels at moments like this. And just&#8230; What he can do with really stillness. He\u2019s kind of frozen in a state here, and I find what he\u2019s doing really mesmerizing.<\/p>\n<p>Recent episodes in <span class=\"css-1galvr2\">Anatomy of a Scene<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Film directors walk viewers through one scene of their movies, showing the magic, motives and the mistakes from behind the camera.<\/p>\n<p>Film directors walk viewers through one scene of their movies, showing the magic, motives and the mistakes from behind the camera.<\/p>\n<p>Show more videos from Anatomy of a Scene<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: \u2018Eddington\u2019 | Anatomy of a Scene transcript Back transcript \u2018Eddington\u2019 | Anatomy of a Scene The writer and director Ari Aster narrates a sequence from his film featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal.
