The Dark Knight Rises OFFICIAL: Batman in the Burgh - Part 10

[DoomsdayApex]

It's one of my favorite board games.




Gotcha. Thanks!

No problem. Too bad Jon only gets 4-5 minutes to interview a guest.

 

[JustAGuy]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info

I feel like im doing a piss poor explanation of it.
Especially seeing the photo a few posts above using letters for camera angles, yet other photos showing extremely higher numbers with no letters!

Interesting system they have going on.

Yay! Me too. Chess and Scrabble.

I think he numbers EVERY SHOT as opposed to every scene from the script.

After seeing a few photos 10 mins ago I would have 100% agreed which is why I came on this board to explain the European system.

Only problem is with the photo listed above they are showing yet a different system with letters for angles. (and not opting to start with 101)

I can say I've been in this business for awhile and I've never seen them mixed. I guess all that matters is the editor and the script supervisor are on the same page

Seriously.

 

[jazzmatik]

Haha, me too. Strip Scrabble!

I hope she's a bad speller then.

Sorry for asking again Subaru and Rangork, but I don't remember if you responded, but will you be revealing the Catwoman info AFTER they are done filming in Pittsburgh and have shipped off?

I don't mean this in a negative way Goku, but I have to say that you REALLY have a hard on for this Catwoman info! I'm just saying that I am amazed at how persistent you are! I mean, wow! Now I understand why your handle reads as it does! I applaud you for your persistence. :

No, you're explaining it just fine. It's a very complex thing. I've worked in TV and Film as a background actor for awhile now and I've scene different productions do very different things.

It's all Greek to me

Actually, I noticed that they were using letters for the different angles at Heinz Field.

It's been eating me inside ever since I heard about it.

No but seriously my obsession with it is getting out of hand, and I can understand why people would be annoyed. But I can't stop thinking about it! I have no problem with industry members and insiders having secret info. It's their job, but when a good old normal Batman fan has info that we don't, I have to know it! Subaru knows something we don't about Catwoman, and I can't stop thinking about it.

I think about it at work too!

It's all I've been thinking about this week. I hope they give us some hints or give us the info "soon".

290 is the scene number. It's most likely a master shot. Start with a master wide go into close ups at 290a, 290b, 290c, etc.

Every time you change location in the script, you change scene numbers.

how about u think about the guy who could lose his job if that info leaked? let it go man, we can always have it all. I'd rather a source is safe then know some bat info.

You make a good point. It makes perfect sense based on coverage and whatnot. However, what confused me was that when they shot the National Anthem at Heinz Field, they only shot about two or three angles and the slate read 189j for one of the takes. I could not figure out their system either!

 

[jazzmatik]

Do they ever use multiple cameras for a single take? Or do they only film one camera angle per take?

Uh oh. Now Goku is going to go crazy over the "getting the source fired" thing again...or maybe not?

 

[DoomsdayApex]

CLTC is such a great site! Hopefully I can start my build sometime in the next year.

Make sure you take pics man

I think I'll be too busy to start next year

 

[kvz5]

Nolan has his own system. He's a boss like that.

I've already explained my stand on the whole "Crew member getting fired" numerous times. I'm not going to go through it again. I've made my stance.

Now I just want to know if Subaru and Rangork are going to be dropping any hints or info on the Catwoman spoilers AFTER they finish filming in Pittsburgh.

 

[chalnger86]

Mostly just one camera per take. Unless it's a one-off special effect like blowing up a hole in Cherry Way or flipping an 18 wheeler!

that's what I was thinking too. If they have a two or three camera setup it might explain a few things...

The problem with multiple cameras per take is that it would make the DPs job a living hell trying to light a scene for two angles and also trying to keep the other camera out of frame. In a moving shot, that could be tricky.

that's very true.

Nolan's Enigma Numbering system

 

[Anita18]

that's very true.

Nolan's Enigma Numbering system

It's being explained to us now in chat...seems like Nolan may number his "scenes" by "shot" instead. How it's numbered on the shot list.

So "scene 290" is really "shot 290" on the shot list. Explains why the bank robbery in TDK could be "16W." Shot 16 on the shot list.

Now the question is...how many shots are there in a Nolan Batman movie?

I'm hoping for, at least, 350
