How Adolescence was filmed in one shot as camera trickery for Stephen Graham drama exposed

The intense drama of Netflix’s Adolescence was enhanced by the series’ episodic filming. Jamie Miller, 13, who killed a student in his class, is the subject of the new series. During an early morning raid, armed police stormed into the teenager’s bedroom while he was wearing his pyjamas.

However, those who are watching the hit television series closely follow the armed policemen as they make their way to his bedroom, leaving his family in complete shock and wondering what happened. Fans can see the story unfold in real time as Jamie is taken to the neighborhood police station where he is actually booked in, including having his finger prints taken, despite the fact that many shows are shot in blocks.

Jamie is accused of brutally stabbing a classmate in the guts of a 13-year-old girl and leaving her to die in a grim car park. There haven’t been any editing, bloopers, or re-takes in this series, though. Through this, viewers can actually see how the drama would play out in the real world.

But how did they achieve such top-notch results without errors? Every second was meticulously planned, including weeks of rehearsals, director Philip Barantini has revealed. One week was spent working on the series with the cast and one more for the tech crew.

Co-writer Jack Thorne was present to assist with subtle changes to the script where necessary elsewhere. When asked about the option to shoot continuously, Barantini said, “Tech rehearsals] would give the sound team an opportunity to place the booms where they needed to be. And we had all the help, runners, ADs, and police uniforms all in one show, and teachers in the second, so they could be on camera and directing the action.

He continued, “It was a huge collaboration, but technically challenging.” Additionally, the show includes both actual locations and those created specifically for the series, like the police station and the DIY store. A cameraman follows the police car as they break down the door, as seen in the footage, on Netflix.

The cameraman is seen using a crane to follow the story in another clip. Each shot for the series was meticulously planned by cinematographer Matt Lewis, who praised Barantini’s “sort of a dance really.” The director has previously discussed his decision to use a one-shoot approach to heighten the drama.

Boiling Point, a 2019 production that used the technique, had only one set, the restaurant, so they only used it for this series. Jack Thorne asserts that despite the series’ intense directing direction, the reality is even more unsettling. He asserted that, in reality, what it’s about is examining male rage, our own anger, and our relationship as men.

He claimed that the three men involved in the show have a relationship with anger and are “very different” from one another.
