Description

Wicked cinematographer Alice Brooks shares insights into the emotional For Good number, highlighting the power of the split door moment and hand-holding shot. Brooks discusses the visual style differences between the two films, with the first focusing on yearning and friendship, and the second on sacrifice and consequence. She explains the symbolic use of color, particularly blue for love and orange for transformation, and the challenges of achieving the desired look, including a complex three-hundred-sixty-degree shot. The collaborative spirit is evident in the final split-screen shot, ensuring a complete goodbye between Glinda and Elphaba.
