Now demonstrably with 1917, the movie wasn’t literally shot as one take. It ended up being stitched collectively to check in that way from many various other shots, and Michael Lerman discussed that with Spectre, that has been a compilation of five shots which were filmed over four times. When it arrived time for Lerman and Sam Mendes to deal with 1917, they continued a number of the exact same practices they’d used on Spectre, such as for example rehearsing for “four or five hours” then shooting for similar timeframe “until you get it and you go home.”
