Director Jeremy Podeswa said that he was very excited when he learned that The Wall would be knocked down this season . When he was reading the script, he was thinking about how to bring down The Wall. The scene was a bit real, a bit fake, and a bit special effects. Fortunately, there are many outstanding people in the crew, the visual effects department, the photographer, the two producers, and him to solve this problem together. The final picture is the result of teamwork.
He also said that this scene uses both computer special effects and real-life shooting. Even if computer special effects are used, there will be many real elements, so it is difficult to distinguish. Obviously, all the people on The Wall are real people. Tormund, Bailey and the wild people on the top of The Wall are real people. They were shot in Belfast. There are many people falling down the Great Wall in the picture. This is actually the real shot of the stuntman first, and then the special effects are processed. All spectacular panoramic shots were created by computer special effects. He first drew the shots with the shot-shot artist, and then created these shots with the special effects department based on these shots. Many people may not realize that a lot of content is the result of the integration of real-time shooting and computer special effects, such as the flames sprayed by the dragon and the effect caused by the flames on the city wall. These elements are all shot in real-life, and then they use the computer to add The light and shadow effects are used to simulate some effects that cannot be shot on-site. Many lenses have many different components. Sometimes only one element in a lens is real, sometimes the entire lens is real, and sometimes a lens is made entirely by computer special effects. In the creative stage, all of this was researched by me and the special effects department.
Regarding the filming of Arya Stark killing Littlefinger, the director said that he was really nervous. Whenever a character dies, there is always a trace of sadness, because no matter what, they are some people's family. On the other hand, the way the characters leave the show is also an interesting thing. For Littlefinger's actor Aidan Gillen and every member of the crew, this is a well-designed and dramatic show, and it is also the most likely way to say goodbye. The atmosphere when filming this scene was really tense. Aidan is an excellent actor, but since the show, the audience has never seen Littlefinger's gaffe. He has always been in control of the whole situation, always on the top, most of the time he looks like a Zhizhu in his hands. This is the first time he has seen him completely lose his attitude, begging others to spare his life. He is so fragile and brought a very wonderful reaction to this scene. All of them were completely addicted, watching him perform with full concentration, and many of them even shed tears. Aidan maintained this wonderful performance all day during filming. The ending was filmed at a certain point, and he was actually preparing for it all the time. The ending they chose for him, the moment he begged for mercy was really shocking and touching.
Regarding the telling of Jon’s true identity, Jon’s "first close contact" with Daenerys also proceeded simultaneously. The director said that one of the two scenes is about the past, while the other is about the future. It is written in the script that the two had sex at the time, but there are not many details about what happened to the two characters. During the shooting, a moment when Kit (Jon) and Emilia (Daenerys) looked at each other affectionately was set. The views of the director and the two actors are the same, and they are passionate about driving them to do so. The two did not fully understand this behavior, nor did they know the consequences. They can't help themselves, it can be said that fate has connected the two hearts together. Maybe they hesitated for a moment, but they still couldn't stop. He thinks this scene is very important, and it will also have an impact on Tyrion, and a question will surely pop up in his mind when he knows this. For him, for everyone, what will be the consequences of this incident.
