“Hi, I’m Sean Baker. I’m the writer, director and editor of “Anora.” That is the scene wherein our protagonist, Ani, performed through Mikey Madison, is arriving on the space supposedly owned through Ivan Zakharov, who’s performed through Mark Eydelshteyn. So this used to be clearly intended to deliver no longer most effective Ani into Ivan’s international, however the target audience into Ivan’s international. So I sought after the digital camera to really be following Ani, but in addition be perceptible the arena via Ani’s visions. That’s why I did my easiest not to form it very cutty, particularly when she arrives up on the entrance door and springs into the home. That may be a one shot. “So welcome to my humble aboard. Hugs! Because I really wanted the audience to be walking through this space with Ani and seeing the space for the first time with Ani. So when she turns and looks to the right, the camera is turning and looking to the right. When she looks to the left, the camera’s turning and looking to the left. And what it does is that it really sets up the geography because the geography is going to be extremely important later on in the film, especially in the home invasion scene. So Drew Daniels, my amazing cinematographer who I’ve worked with now twice, he is a master at handheld camera operation, so he’s the one who’s actually holding the camera and shooting this entire sequence. “Not too shabby!” “What is ‘shabby’?” “Oh, I’m just playing.” Drew’s hand held cinematography is set as secure as hand held can get, particularly with a fat digital camera like this. And nearest he lands on this gorgeous two shot. For me as an scribbler, that gave me a actually forged out to shorten to our vast static shot. “Oh, sorry, I’m waiting for you.” This used to be my glorious actors including a negligible little bit of improv there, the place Mark runs up the steps. And nearest the later shot the place they’re getting into the bed room. This shot will likely be repeated on the finish of the movie. So in some ways it’s bookending her revel in at this mansion. “Nice view.” “My view is better.”
