Coffee and Content: Breaking Down The 'Succession' Balcony Scene

Comedy Feature Final
Posted by Richard "RB" Botto

Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

First, congratulations to all of you who have already participated in our monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend! Thousands of connections have been made between entertainment creatives and professionals from around the globe. Whether you are a long-time member or brand new to Stage 32, take a moment to pop over to the Introduce Yourself Lounge and say hello before the end of the weekend.

First up, SUCCESSION may have ended, but we still haven't recovered from some of the big emotional moments from the final season, including the balcony scene between Shiv and Tom. In this video from Variety, actor Sarah Snook gives a behind-the-scenes look at the scene, diving into her approach, working with her on-screen partner, and how real-life impacted the storyline and her delivery.

Next, a common question we hear from people who are new to production life is what is the difference between the director and the cinematographer? And this video from In Depth Cine is helping to break it down. These two roles seemingly have a great deal in common, but they are actually distinct and it's vastly important to understand the difference. Understanding and respecting what each of these roles brings can only up the quality of your production and relationships on set.
