thecrownnet:[Director] Jessica Hobbs brought the cinema vérité style that was coined in the 1960s into the two pivotal episodes of “The Crown’s” third season that she directed through the use of movement, specifically to depict the change in attitude and outlook of Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter) after meeting Roddy Llewelltyn (Harry Treadaway).“We wanted to reflect the movement and tone of camerawork of that time and took care not to modernize our approach,” Hobbs says. “The ’60s and ’70s were such an explosion of music, art and shifting societal attitudes. We wanted to allow this to affect our characters and feel the weight of this shift in thinking to apply pressure to the monarchy and our world. Stylistically this encouraged us to break our visual rules. We pushed ourselves to free the camera movement up to reflect Margaret’s desire to experience these newfound freedoms with her much younger lover, Roddy Llewellyn. Having them dancing, drinking, swimming, flirting while allowing a vérité feel that opened up to flares and water and chaos, while set to great music, was very liberating. Hopefully it allowed the audience to feel the same explosion of freedom that Margaret did at that time.- From ‘The Crown’ to ‘Hollywood,’ Inside TV Directors’ Decisions on When to Use Period-Accurate Film Styles, Variety July 10, 2020  -- source link
