Mis-en-Scene

My group choose the hallway scene in the movie inception. This movie was very detailed and the type of movie where you need to focus and watch it a couple times to get all of it. I was responsible for reporting on the production designer. In this movie it was Guy Hendrix Dyas. He has been around for quite sometime because he started really early after he graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. Some films that he worked on prior to Inception is X-men 2, Planet of the Apes, and The Matrix Reloaded. When doing the hallways scene much took place and everything needed to be absolutely correct. The hallways was 100ft rotating corridor. Seven steel IB beams were set and 16ft apart. It was all computerized which controlled the speed as well and direction is rotated. What was interesting is this scene had so much detail, in fact it took them 3 weeks to film it but in the movie it was only a 30 second part in the actual movie.
