David Lean talks SHOTS *Lawrence of Arabia*
Here's a MEGA-CUT of the stuff I've been posting on my IG. The great directors all died before the advent of dvd commentary tracks but Spielberg got a 'live commentary' from Lean when they watched the restoration of 'Lawrence of Arabia' together. I've cut Spielberg's story together with a rare clip I found of Lean talking about why he chose specific shots for a pivotal scene in the picture. (The original audio is a British show broadcast at a different frame rate. I've replaced the scenes from the film with hi-def footage but the audio is impossible to sync perfectly.) In my Story Class I bang on about ‘contrast’ being the key to engaging images but also in drama (and sound, music, motion, editing etc.) - which Lean touches on at the end of this clip (it's also nicely illustrated by the Zhivago clip inspired by King Vidor's 'The Big Parade'.
