FILM 1695: HOW I LIVE NOW
TRIVIA: The director, Kevin
Macdonald, had originally intended the cast to be all unknown or amateur actors
and was looking for an American girl, around 16 years of age to play Daisy, but
cast Irish actress 19 year old Saoirse Ronan instead, after her audition,
reading a scene which left them in tears.
"During pre-production, before
we actually started shooting, [cinematographer] Franz Lustig went
around and shot [with a Canon EOS C300] lots of little bits of birds,
landscapes and details of things," said director Kevin Macdonald.
"This is something you always want to do on films because you can see a beautiful
sunset and have the flexibility to pull out a little tiny camera and shoot
something. That stuff has all made it into the film. Franz could shoot this on
his own." Lustig said: "It was a one-man show! Me, my backpack, three
lenses, and maybe a tripod if needed. I could do images for the film and they
cut in beautifully. You don't need a whole crew. We also tested some things in
moonlight,(...). That was the original reason we wanted to try this camera for
its low-light abilities."[2013]
