Today's scenes were added to create more empathy and insight into the character
of Rebecca. Basically, as she tries to persuade Michael to die for her, she then waits
for him in the "afterlife". She thinks she hears him...but he doesn't come.
She then 'hears' Michael professing his love for Ariel. Will Michael live in a
state of forgiveness, or follow Rebecca into 'death'?
We went through all kind of permuations and visual ideas for the scene - initially it
was going to be greenscreened but we changed our minds. There was going to be a
lot of blood, white dress, subtle indications of a wedding/marriage idea. Lighting
wise we were inspired by some of the moving flags in "The Cranes Are Flying", and
for good measure there was some fullers earth on the floor set.
It ends up as no blood, a black dress (Jordanna can be fiesty in her costume choices
sometimes) and all other variations. However, the end result is amazing, Jordanna
in full flight, incredible intensity, beauty and power.
