ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY The decision to show Roger’s hanging through the lens of an old black-and-white film was brilliant.
Can you share some of your thought process on this, how you came to this decision?
MATTHEW B. ROBERTS:We are a visual medium.
We have to find creative ways of getting into the character’s head then get them out on screen.
One, because I love black-and-white photography.
Two, because black-and-white makes you work a bit makes you use your imagination.
Three, it was a visually brilliant way to get into Roger’s thoughts.
I’m glad that they stuck with it.
It wasn’t too much of a shift.
They shot it at a different frame rate.
So in terms of on set, there wasn’t a huge difference for us.
We just had sort of ham it up a little bit.
And then give him his gift back … in song.
