How Lady Mariko presses on amid a barrage of arrows
“We made this Lady Mariko’s episode,' says “Shōgun” cinematographer Sam McCurdy about the climactic chapter “Crimson Sky.” 'She becomes very much the center of focus, where every scene she’s in, the perspective is always twisted in her direction.” The dramatic scene in which Mariko attempts to leave Osaka Castle with a group of advisors being held hostage inside sees her inching forward on the pebble road beneath her feet.
“When she’s trying to leave, we tried to place the camera at the center of the story,” he says. “So it provided us with information in how we could prep in terms of equipment, lensing and when we photographed things from a distance.” Shallow focus and wide anamorphic lenses reinforce Mariko as the subject while sweeping overhead shots provide scope and scale. “If she wasn’t in the frame, the camera always took her perspective so that everybody came toward us,” notes McCurdy.
