Susie & Jaclyn~ I'm inclined to agree. I think this was one of CH's weaknesses as a director. How you can schedule filming the emotional climax of the film at the very beginning (I think it was literally the 3rd or 4th day of shooting) is beyond me. I know that they are professionals and, when I look back I think they did a fantastic job. But, at the same time, it handicaps them as actors I think. Ability and pathos can only take you so far. I can't imagine the differences we'd see in this scene if she'd moved it slightly in the schedule. That wouldn't have been a problem either, even with Cam's schedule. You merely shoot it in pieces, shooting Cam and Rob's scenes at one point, and revisiting Rob and Kris' scenes at a later time.openfire wrote:Yeah I totally agree.

THOUGHTS?I mean, Bella has to really show that she cares for Edward beyond anything...and of course, when Edward swoops in to rescue her, he has to show that he only cares for Bella's safety. That must have been difficult to act when they hardly knew one another and they hadn't had long to get into Bella and Edward's head. I think the ballet studio scene is one of the best in the film, so they all really done a wonderful job to have this great chemistry so close to the start of shooting the film.
Yes, but shooting it that way, in doing some of the ballet studioe scenes over here and some over there, isn't necessarily going to make it any easier, if they don't have the buildup of the previous scenes to help their character arcs at that point, considering the events that lead to Rob and Kristen's scenes. It would present its own difficulties, just as filming those scenes first did. Also, it would be hugely expensive to film Cam's stuff in the ballet studio, and then come back weeks later and set the whole thing up again to shoot Rob and Kris' stuff then.Jazz Girl wrote:That wouldn't have been a problem either, even with Cam's schedule.

And if that movie is really how she saw the book, maybe she didn't read the book, or maybe she didn't understand it.
