Woman points out 'crazy' moment crew member is filmed in shot during Netflix’s Adolescence

An Adolescence viewer believes she has spotted a crew member being filmed in the show

A woman thinks she's managed to point out the exact moment a crew member is filmed in shot during Adolescence.

The emotionally charged show has been the most-watched series on Netflix since it dropped on the streaming platform earlier this month.

And as I'm sure you're aware, Adolescence has put a spotlight on 'modern incels', what they are capable of and what code words/emojis they use to stay under the radar.

But purely from a practicality standpoint, it's hard to believe that each of the four episodes are filmed in one continuous shot, and it truly feels like you're watching a documentary.

Throughout the series, the single camera is passed seamlessly amongst the crew, through land and air, with the use of drones.

Over on TikTok, however, one woman believes she has spotted a member of the crew about to remove the camera from the drone at the end of episode two.

In the last scene of the episode, a drone flies over the local area to the exact spot where the school girl was stabbed to death by Jamie Miller, played by Owen Cooper.

And then the last shot is of Stephen Graham, as Owen's father Eddie Miller puts down a bouquet of flowers.

"This is a camera operator getting out of the car to come and catch this shot [from] the drone to hold it standstill, unclip it and focus on Stephen," user @itsjustttjoy said.

"Isn't that crazy? What the hell."

Thankfully, director Phillip Barantini has explained exactly how the drone scene was done.

In an interview with the Guardian, he said: “As Ashley (Walters) leaves in his car, we have a team coming up behind Matt (cinematographer Matthew Lewis), who clip the camera to a drone with a hook.

“Then we fly the drone over the town. In the meantime, Matt legs it into a van.

“He drives to the end site, catches the drone with two other people, disconnects it and starts walking towards Stephen’s face.”

Pretty much confirming the TikToker's theory, he added: “If you watch it again, you’ll see his van drive into the car park as the drone comes in to land.

“It was an example of the technical meeting the story and finding a fusion which is actually better than anything the story had come up with on its own.”

If you've somehow still not watched Adolescence, it is available to stream on Netflix now.
