Deleted Scene 10
1m 23s
This was actually the very first scene we shot on the first day of shooting, and mid shoot the location started to flood!
This is an early cut of the scene where D'Angelo comes to ask his old boss for his job back early on in the film. As with the other deleted scenes, the sound hasn't been mixed so there is no additional background soundscape to give the space character. (In the final version of the film there is a later scene where D'Angelo comes back here to see his Boss again)
We've left the scene in its natural colour state as it was shot. By shooting a raw and un-manipulated color palette, Cinematographer Gavin Northover maximised the tonal information we were capturing, giving us a lot more latitude to play with in the grading of the film into black and white. One of the reasons we think the film looks so good, and one of the reasons the film won the Accession Award for Cinematography at the East End Film Festival 2014.
