Bradley 54,907 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 If you've been watching the interviews Bradley and Gaga gave about A Star Is Born, you must have noticed how they said they wanted to shoot the movie from the stage, as opposed to from the audience. And Gaga said she loved this choice Bradley made. Bradley said about watching the sweats of Lars Ulrich playing on stage, etc. So I noticed this about the Grammy performance, did they recreate the Shallow scene at the Grammys by trying to record the performance in the same way? During the 'AHHHH' part, and towards the final 'in the shaa ha shaa low' final chorus, they stopped shooting from the audience and focused on surrounding and circling around Gaga, and I think this is kinda underrated since no one's really talking about it. So instead of watching it as an audience, you get to feel like you're walking around Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoebitch11 3,924 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yeah, that's what I thought too. I loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 32,702 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think it was just about finding the most visually stimulating way to capture the performance, the set-up of which allowed for the camera operators to circle around the performers. I don't think there's a specific connection to the movie though but could be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie 2,818 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 that was one of my first thoughts about this performance as i watched it. this and the lights. i've noticed they used the same colors as in that scene: blue and red. i think it's pretty cool that they did it as it gives the performance more meaning and is the cool easter egg for those who watched the movie and are looking for this kind of stuff I lost five kilos 'cause of heartache Now I'm skinny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkTheFunk 121,494 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 It was shot beautifully. Probably one of the best shot live music performances I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Kids 3,008 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 it also reminds me of the Just Dance sequence in Superbowl! The way she turns and sings. And when you say my name, like white horses on the waves, I think it feels the same, as an ocean in my veins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panchecco 17,140 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I thought it could have been done better tbh I appreciated the shaky camera for the concert scebìnes in ASIB but here not so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I was one of the ones who didn't like the performance but now you've pointed this out it makes me able to appreciate it alot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG 19,908 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Highly doubt it was intentional. The camera work is by the Grammy producers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Gaga interacts with the cinematographers before a performance tho. She'd need to know where to look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamo 15,678 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I 100% agree with what you said. To me it was obvious they were trying to capture the vibe of the film in particular the shallow sequence. The red and blue lighting was symbolic and the way they shot the performance reminded me of how they shot the film. I'm actually surprised not a lot of people/fans picked up on this? I loved it! you can serve it to me ancient city style... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterish 5,520 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Oscars are definitely recreating the movie scene Maybe Gaga will be already in the stage with the piano and Bradley with the guitar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting myself because I thought it worth mentioning I just rewatched the performance and I'm still not keen on the first couple of verses but the rest of it really grew on me. I can appreciate it alot more. However I still think it's not the best Gaga performance. I think it's just too low for me. I really like the way they filmed it. It reminded me of the film cinematography as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
