Footage used for Rent...

What footage are they using more of? Are they using mostly footage from the August filming and just using the special closing night footage of interviews and Seasons of Love finale, or are they using just a mix and we'll be surprised?

I was just wondering what to expect tomorrow when I go see it? I just love Eden's riffs in the closing performance and so many different aspects of the closing performance so I just want those moments to be in the movie...

there were 5 cameras in the house closing night...

one at the back of each orch isle (still), one IN in isle with guys running around with them and one fixed to the mez - right below the tv where they can see the conductor....(

(there MAY have been more but I watched most of the show from the back of the orch so those are the ones I saw)

so if they don't use MOSTLY closing night footage, that would have been a huge waste.

I believe it was just two performances in front of the audience.

The majority of the footage will NOT be from closing night. By the time closing night came around, the producers of the movie already had their "polished rough cut."

Most of what you will see is from the non-audience performances since they could get a variety of angles and shots without having to worry about hindering the show. The rest of the flick (such as reactions/applauses) will be made up from the Aug 20th filming day.

A very small percentage will be closing night. Likely the ending bows and/or curtain call.
