‘The First Wave’ Crew on Editing the COVID Documentary: ‘It Was Just Death, Death, Death’
马修·海尼曼（Matthew Heineman）的“第一波”将观众带到了前线，因为纽约在库维德（Covid-19）开始时成为美国的震中。 。在幕后，他与编辑弗朗西斯科·贝洛（Francisco Bello），加布里埃尔·罗德斯（Gabriel Rhodes）和大卫·齐夫（David Zieff）合作，跟随并开始编织日报。到2020年6月。“有很多镜头，尤其是在创伤病房中，只是死亡，死亡，死亡，死亡，死亡，死亡，死亡以及被iPad分隔的家庭。”因为编辑和海因曼生活他们正在记录的同样的东西，它近在咫尺。 “尤其是在最初的几周里，我们对疾病的了解很少，如何传播，如何保护自己……最大的恐惧一切都是我们会生病的，我的船员会生病，或者更糟糕的是，我们在我们正在拍摄的人中传播疾病。他的船员受到他们每天目睹的人性，力量，毅力和勇气的驱使，并受到他正在拍摄的人的启发。贝洛被任命为医疗保健工人亚历克西斯·埃利斯（Alexis Ellis）和她的丈夫和纽约警察局学校安全官员艾哈迈德·埃利斯（Ahmed Ellis）编辑弧线。看到艾哈迈德·埃利斯（Ahmed Ellis）躺在医院的医院床上，患有医生的库维德（Covid）。贝洛说：“到编辑过程开始时，他会没事的，但是在开枪进行时，尚不清楚他是否要做到这一点。这并没有使我们对艾哈迈德（Ahmed）最脆弱和亚历克西斯（Alexis）抓住的时刻，也没有那么令人痛苦。贝洛说：“严格很有帮助，因为e确实使我们仍然拥有自己的心和内在情绪，但要做工作所需的临床眼睛。罗德斯说，他正在回到那天通过房屋的抗议活动的镜头。“现在，我正在制作这部录像，必须将其整合到这个更大的大流行故事中。”罗德斯说：“马特会告诉我这个故事的结尾，虽然没有路线图。以及故事的发展。您没有那张地图，但是您有碎片，可能需要两个月甚至三个月的时间才能更好地了解那个大图。”
Matthew Heineman’s “The First Wave” takes audiences to the frontlines as New York became America's epicenter at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Heineman’s camera follows doctors, nurses and patients in a cinema vérité, as he shows the strength of the human spirit. Behind the scenes, he worked with editors Francisco Bello, Gabriel Rhodes and David Zieff to follow along and start weaving the dailies together.
Rhodes says they went through mountains of footage captured by Heineman at Long Island’s Jewish Medical Center in Queens, N.Y., from March to June in 2020. “There was so much footage, especially in the trauma wards, where it was just death, death, death, death, death, death, and the families being separated by iPads.”
Because the editors and Heineman were living the same thing they were documenting, it hit close to home. “Especially in those early weeks when we knew so little about the disease, how it’s transmitted, how to protect ourselves...the biggest fear of all was that we were that I would get sick, my crew would get sick, and or perhaps worse, that we spread the disease amongst the people we're filming with," says Heineman.
With no end in sight, Heineman says he and his crew were driven by the humanity, strength, fortitude and courage that they were witnessing daily, and inspired by those he was filming. Bello was assigned to edit the arc of healthcare worker Alexis Ellis and Ahmed Ellis, her husband and NYPD school safety officer. Ahmed Ellis is seen lying in his hospital bed suffering from COVID in the doc. Says Bello, "By the time the editing process began, he was going to be okay, but when shooting was underway, it wasn't clear whether he was going to make it. It didn't make the moments that we caught Ahmed at his most vulnerable, and Alexis as well, any less harrowing."
A large part of Heineman’s process was his meticulous attention to creating arcs, specific shot choices and pacing. Says Bello, “That rigor was helpful because it did gradually allow us to still have our hearts and our inner emotions tied to it, but have that clinical eye that is required to do the work.”
As the filmmaker was capturing the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement was also happening. Rhodes says he was getting footage back of protests that passed his house that day. “And now I'm working on this footage from it that has to be integrated into this larger pandemic story.”
While there was no roadmap of where this story would end, Rhodes says, “Matt would tell me what was happening in the field and where stories were headed. You don’t have that map, but you have pieces, and it would take two, maybe three months to understand a bit better what that larger picture was.”
