This article takes an in-depth look at 2014 film Birdman, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, whereby the entire film appears to be a single, continuous take…a technique previously meddled with, however never to this extent, and never executed so seamlessly.
The article provides interview discussion with the film’s editor Stephen Mirrione, and takes a step by step look at the challenges during production, pre, and post.
Peters goes into every aspect of the making of the film, and just how important each element was in allowing for the single take to be successful and drive the film, whether it be sound, light or speed. The article proves useful in uncovering the sheer preparation and work required to achieve such a feat, whilst also providing invaluable insight into the importance of editing in a film such as this, taking invisible editing to a completely new level.
