6. How was the scene of threatening the music director shot in Satya?
Ans: The psychological aspect: As the music director wakes up with the phone ring, through the window we see the road which looks like any other road. So as the voice is talking on the phone our attention is on the threatening voice and his expressions but we also subconsciously register that a car came onto the road and parked. As there is no background score change on the van’s entry we take it for granted that the van is just a part of the atmosphere as there is nothing unusual about a van being on the road.
Only when we see the spark near the van indicating gun fire and the window cracking with the bullet do we realize that the person who is talking is actually talking from the van. It was very necessary for that to be taken in a single shot as otherwise it couldn’t have communicated the vulnerability of the music director. Also by the time the gun fires one has seen the frame for a long enough time that they will take it for granted and hence will get a jolt when the gun fires. Also the angle of the camera creates an effect as if the viewer is inside the room almost in the line of fire.
Technical aspect: The shot was actually taken in a perfect co-ordinated timing with a gun firing a dummy bullet from the van and at the same time the action director Allan Amin hiding behind the window on a slightly lower level hitting the glass with a stone from a catapult.
