from the windows. I used a lot more HMIs than I typically use because the windows at Haddon Hall [the location for Thornfield] were so large. We used 18Ks and 12Ks warmed slightly with 1⁄8 or 1⁄4 CTO, and attached very thick diffusion — silk and sometimes cotton, too — directly to the windows to soften the light. Also, there are a lot of night interiors lit only with a fireplace and candlelight, including the scene when Jane arrives at Thornfield and meets Mrs. Fairfax [Judi Dench], and the scene that shows the first real conversation between Jane and Rochester [Michael Fassbender]. The two of them sit close to the fireplace, and that plus some candelabra on the wall in the background are lighting the scene. To add a little sparkle to the actors’ eyes for close-ups, we had a Chinese lantern with a dimmeddown 150-watt or 275-watt bulb and a single flame bar helping us here and there, but no reflectors. Every chance we had to cut reflectors, we did, especially for night interiors. We wanted the look to be believable. You must have had a great first assistant. Goldman: We had a fantastic English crew, and the first AC, Julian Bucknall, is a real warrior. We were using [T1.3] Arri Master Primes, and we decided early on that shooting wide open would make our lives very hard, so I tried to maintain a stop of at least T2, which is difficult when you’re just using firelight. I tried to give Julian a little more stop on day interiors, maybe T2.8, but that was really rare. A shallow depth-of-field gave us an extra texture that we all really loved, especially on night interiors, but it’s very hard to shoot that way. The limit is so fine; in the close-ups of Jane in her fireside talk with Rochester, for instance, the depth-of-field is so shallow that her eyes are in focus but her nose is slightly out of focus. You have to explain to the actors what you’re after so they can help you. It was the total opposite of Sin Nombre, where we gave the actors full freedom, partly because they were totally inexperienced. Jane Eyre is more designed, and the action was carefully choreographed. The actors had very specific marks. Another departure from Sin Nombre is that you didn’t do all of the camera operating this time. Goldman: I operated for the first half of the shoot, but then we brought in a B-
Top: Rochester (Michael Fassbender), Jane’s new employer, draws her into a conversation. Middle: Jane dines with her young pupil (Romy Settbon Moore) and Mrs. Fairfax (Judi Dench). Bottom: Large HMIs through heavy diffusion attached to windows comprised the typical lighting setup for the main location. www.theasc.com April 2011 17
