Fargo Elevator Scene Pre Planning
As part of an assignment, myself along with some others where tasked with recreating a scene from any film or TV show.
After much discussion, we decided to recreate a scene from popular TV series Fargo.
About Fargo
Fargo is a TV series which is aired on the FX channel. It stars Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. It is follows different events of deception, intrigue and murder in and around Minnesota. All of these events are linked in some way to Fargo, North Dakota.
It's pilot episode was released on April 15th 2014 and was directed by Adam Bernstein who has also worked on Breaking Bad and Law and Order SUV. This episode was rated 9.4/10 on IMDB. The first season had 10 episodes, each with a run time of 54 minutes.
After the success of the first season, it went on for another 10 episodes in season 2 and is now set to start its third season sometime this year.
It was decided that we would recreate the famous elevator scene from Season 1 episode 9. This scene involves Malvo (Thornton) Lester (Freeman) and 3 other characters. We decided to shoot this scene as we knew it would be a challenge when it came to finding the location and getting the right shots.
Below is a clip of the scene we are hoping to recreate.

Our biggest challenge is going to be getting the crane shot as the elevator is such a small confined space. Also, as there is a mirror in the elevator, we will have to work around this and being able to see the camera in the reflection.
