Ha. What a deeply excessive waste of money and time, not to mention potential to cause harm to her vocal cords.
Especially for a movie that is notably limited in scope due to trying to achieve it on a limited budget. To spend 8 hours on 1 scene when the direction felt confident she nailed it in the first 20 min... even give her another hour, maybe two hours. But any more than that, other than coming back to it another day, is foolhardy (and I say this as a director and an actor).
(and i don't mean 2 hours total, I mean after the take where she nailed and, and after several more where he felt sure it wasn't going to be better than what was already done earlier -- if she didn't nail it, fine, do 5 hours... though after that, I mean, really, her instrument could have been ruptured doing any song for 8 hours let alone this one). |
