<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Also concurning Boromir's changing hand positions during his death scene it probably happened because they shot Boromir's face at a different time then they shot Aragorn's face. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>This is certainly true, not just different times but likely different positions. To get Aragorn's shot the camera would have had to be lower then Boromir's head, which is tough trick considering he's laying on the ground. They would have had to shoot Boromir, move the actors to allow the camera to be placed properly and then shoot Aragorn.<P>They likely had a multitude of takes, only some of which Boromir put his hand on Aragorn's shoulder. When they are choosing the take, their looking more at the emotional content of the performance then in small continuity issues. The vast majority of the audience would never notice this so they are better off taking the takes that best convey what they are trying to get across.<P>Having said that, it sure is fun to spot these things after the fact. <P>H.C.<P>Edited for typos.<p>[ January 28, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
