the last rehearsal Photo

Photographer’s Note

Concentration and seriousness on some faces, tiredness on others and one is amused : this is the same quatuor of actors as seen before : after the 15 minutes pause during which the scene was being prepared by the light technicians, shooting team, stage designers etc, here the actors are repeating the text for a last time, with the prompter (standing up, who assists the actors by providing the next words of a forgotten passage) and I guess, on her left, the author of the scenario who remained silent.

The film director, visibly tired, is squatting between the 2 couples. The sun had already set and there are several sources of light, - bright spots placed behind the windows and also inside the room.

(A 3rd post about the shooting of a TV series called "Son Ağa" (NB : fun to watch, the beginning of this video clip !).

The 4 leading actors of that particular scene :
- the man on the left is Tamer Karadağlı (Salim),
- next to him, the young actress Feride Çetin,
- sitting in front of them, Emel Müftüoğlu, also a singer (the woman with black hair) and
- Durul Bazan, the man on the right.
........................................

(FYI, - only if you are interested, not very good but informative photos taken the same day :
- confusion inside this restaurant while preparing for the shooting,
- an extra actor with a broad smile,
- and the film director in the corner of the restaurant reserved for the technicians)

Tulay

Hello Catherine,
A very entertaining tableau - and very effectively lit. The presence of the, rather weary, production team provides the main interest for me.
Best wishes....Maggie

Interesting and well composed scene in a bright but soft light, Cath. Indeed, it has a tableau feel. The atmosphere is wonderfully caught.
Best,
Cristian

hi cath,
actually i like both proposals - but this one looks somehow like a some kind of family dinner where an important moment of life is being solemnly celebrated...
that barrier in front sort of disturbs but i understand you had no other choice when composing this scene...

Bonjour Catherine,
Une atmosphère très particulière, que tu rends parfaitement au travers de ce post.
On s'y croirait vraiment!
J'aime bien ta composition et la rampe ne me gêne pas, elle fait partie du décor et amène directement au coeur de la scène.
Ce qui est amusant, c'est l'expression de la dame à gauche de la table. Elle semble être la seule à s'amuser tandis que tous les autres tirent une tête pas possible.
Tu as très bien géré les différentes sources de lumières aussi. Bravo!
Bises. Marianne

Bonjour, chère Catherine,
Ainsi, l'on joue les paparazzis et l'on profite d'un moment de repos du tournage pour saisir une scène particulière.
J'aime cette composition pleine de naturel où les acteurs et les responsables du tournage sont en pleine effervescence.
L'ensemble se regarde avec beaucoup d'intérêt.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour, Catherine.
C'est presque de la peinture classique...
Tout est parfaitement à sa place dans cette photographie...
J'adore.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Salut Catherine,
Très beau rendu de cette scène d'intérieur. Je suis régulièrement impressionné par ton Ixus...
Amitiés
Marc

Very interesting dinner scene which reminds me of the Last Supper with your title but I think the exposure here is good for this shot to give such clarity and good detail around the table and the room.

Interesting how you can get access to shoot this scene and appear like part of the camera crew.

Salut Cath,
C'est assez etrange ca comme scene, on dirait que totu est fige comme sur un tableau biblique surtout en regardant le monsieur tout a gauche, au milieu de cela je dois dire que les deux personnes avec les scripts font un peu tache... une iöage decalee et interessante.
Bonne journee jY

Ciao Caterina, sembra una scena di cento anni fa, magnifica composizione, luce trattata splendidamente, brava
Con Amicizia

Bonsoir Catherine,

des visages interessants et marquants autour de la table. La scenographie parfaite pour ton cliche. La lumiere de la fenaitre n'est pas genante. Toi aussi tu as tout fait pour une belle photo que j'aime bien. Amities pour toi, chere amie,

Branko

Quite a mixed feelings about this one, Cathy ...
I envy you your ability to be there, among those people in there, yet...
At the same time I can only imagine the restrictions imposed upon you by the crew.

You must behave as much unobstrusively as possible...
Be 'unpresent' in there... Limiting movements, yet...
You ARE there and you produced the rare ( very rare) photos from 'inner circles"

Bravo, Catarina the Great
