... the differences between the angle of stills vs. actual footage, there's also this -Oops - how quickly I forget -...
And I do find it interesting that a lot of the publicity stills for the film don't exactly reflect the way scenes were shot for the film. For example, this one from this scene -
- is taken almost exactly from the reverse angle. And I've always been a bit upset that that published version is the only one that I've ever come across because it would be nice to see at least a bit more of Quentin. But then, maybe a wider version of it doesn't even exist, so perhaps I should just be grateful for what I have...
...
- that photo is published on page 254 of the DS Movies book (page 62A of the script, which features the conclusion of Scene 124 and the beginning of Scene 125):
And it's interesting that the book's version shows more of Quentin, which is a definite plus, and more of the room, but it crops part of the top and bottom off. Will we ever see the entire photo?
- and to answer that final question, yes, the entire version has surfaced for sale at various places like Heritage Auctions and eBay -
(Click here for a 912X700 version)
- though it seems as if it's only been offered as part of a batch of stills for sale (at Heritage Auctions as part of 9 stills in 2018 (an auction I missed) and not since and at eBay as part of a batch of 26(!) stills) and I'd rather not have to buy stills I already own just to get one that I don't, so I've never bought it under those circumstances, which is why above I'm sharing a scan made to showcase the sale rather than a scan of the actual still - however, I'm currently in the process of negotiating buying the still on its own - I was hoping to have it by now, but I have hopes of owning it soon - so once I do, I will scan it and change the above scan to a scan of the actual still...
UPDATE: The actual still has been added.
Beginning the next sequence:
117 INT - GALLERY - DAY 117
It is later as Carlotta ENTERS. She carries the
picture of Angelique. He stops painting when he
sees her.
And that's when today's quote -Page 56/Scene 117 - Quentin: 'I told you I didn't want to see that again.'
- comes up.
And as far as the differences in the dialogue go, Quentin actually says "I said I didn't want to see that again."
And as far as the differences in the directions and the descriptions go, Carlotta actually pauses for a second as she comes into the room and before Quentin notices her - and Quentin doesn't stop painting after he notices she's come in with Angelique's portrait.
And DC's script has notations that the opening of the scene is shot from a high, wide angle, and as we can see from today's capture -
- it certainly is shot wide, though not high - and DC also has a notation that Quentin delivers his line in close-up, but as we can also see from today's capture, he doesn't.
...
And something else that's interesting on the DVD/Blu-ray discs is the end of the background music for Scene 116 (the harmonica/guitar version of "Love Theme From Night of Dark Shadows") is heard to play over the opening of Scene 117 because that's the way things are in the 129 minute version of the film. Things also play that way in the version of the film on Amazon and iTunes...
Continuing Scene 117, with today's quote, Carlotta's answer as to why she's brought Angelique's portrait back to the Gallery:Page 56/Scene 117 - Carlotta: 'But it belongs here, Mr. Collins.'
And as far as the differences in the dialogue go, what Carlotta actually says "It belongs in this room."
And as far as the differences in the directions and the descriptions go, there aren't any at the point. However, DC's script has a notation that the camera switches to a 2 shot for Carlotta line, but it doesn't actually have to do that because, as I mentioned yesterday, it never switches to a close-up for Quentin.
But what's most interesting at this point are Grayson's notes for this section of the scene. She writes that Carlotta comes into the room to restore Angelique, to put her in her proper place, not to have a scene with Quentin - and that Carlotta will relate to the painting and her love for Angelique.
I know he's embezzling funds and trying to get me out of the partnership--but I don't know how to prove it. There's only one way, she says--to go to the secret records room and find the books he keeps himself. We've gone through this already, he says--if I only knew where the record room was, but only Brutus knows that. I know, she says, I found out today--quite by accident. Tell me, where is it? asks James.Constance listens outside the window as Amanda tells James--just off Brutus' bedroom--at the head of the bed is a large drape--behind the drape is a door leading to that secret room. He hugs her gratefully--I know I can prove it now, he says--I'll go there tonight. James, she says, staring into his eyes, you must be very careful.
