The top 10 shots of 2009: part one
10. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (who cares shot)
“TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN”
Director of Photography: Ben Seresin
The shot wasn’t specifically storyboarded, although there was extensive pre-visualization for the rest of the scene. The bottled wall was planned, as it is typical in the Middle East. I tried to create a feeling in the room that would give a sense of safety, and that contrasted with the expanse, scale and danger of outside. I could write a book on working with Michael. Basically, he fluctuates from totally controlling to handing things over. Having said that, the aesthetic of the movie is very much his. He feels very comfortable with his bold style and is generally disinclined to experiment with new approaches.

09. The Lovely Bones (field shot)
“THE LOVELY BONES”
Director of Photography: Andrew Lesnie
Coming fresh from one of the most vital experiences of a young girl’s life (first love) and past an energetic expression of youthful energy on the soccer field, the shot smoothly brings us to the close of one chapter and the beginning of the next. By craning up we draw on the film memory of this move as a closing motif, while also using it to introduce the arena for the coming events. The audience are already aware of the conclusion and have seen Harvey in the field at night, so the transition from a colorful environment with contrasting colors to a monochromatic desolute, denuded cornfield is smooth but immediately gets your mind racing.

08. Where the Wild Things Are (beach shot)
“WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE”
Director of Photography: Lance Acord
Getting the suit performers in the water was a challenge because if the suits filled up with water, it would keep them under water. The location, Bush Ranger’s Bay on the Mornington Peninsula in Australia, it has like 8-10 foot waves washing ashore. Pirates in the early 1800s would build fires along the coastline to lure ships into thinking there were settlements there, and it would cause the ships to shipwreck and they would go out and pillage the ships. It was a real miracle that it was the only day of being at that location for close to three weeks when there were hardly any waves. The ocean went completely flat.
–Lance Acord
07. Up in the Air (Anna Kendrick on the people mover)
“UP IN THE AIR”
Director of Photography: Eric Steelberg
We had just finished shooting and we were moving between locations at the airport. We were walking by this walkway and Jason said, ‘Do we have Anna? I want to do a shot of Anna on this walkway really quick. Can we do that?’ We didn’t really have permission, so he said let’s talk with the airport and see if we can do it. I think he knew where he would use it tonally but he said, ‘Oh, you know what, I do actually need a cutaway for Anna at the end of the movie.’ It was literally spur of the moment, walking by, seeing the opportunity. And it kind of reminds everybody of her journey as well.
–Eric Steelberg
06. The Road (a lonely Viggo)
“THE ROAD”
Director of Photography: Javier Aguirresarobe
John Hillcoat, from the beginning, was very confidant in me. I could work with a lot of freedom. This shot was an improvisation. It wasn’t planned. The movie doesn’t have too many interior scenes and this was something we discovered right there on the set. Most of the movie wasn’t storyboarded and we were really glad that this was a shot that could show like a shadow without a specific shape that is being erased and it reflects the character and what he’s feeling at that moment and accentuates the drama. The water is, in a sense, erasing the past. I think it’s a really powerful moment in the story.
