One camera is stationary, above the heads of everyone, to take in the crowd shots. One shoots from the roof of the sound stage, and two are used for profile angles, one on each side. This makes a total of seven cameras employed to photograph what will emerge as three and a half minutes of film. Of course, none of the cameras contains the final negative. The gentleman in the cutting room pieces the film together from all the film shot on the scene and that is the reason why everyone in the theatre has a seat in the orchestra, balcony, front, back of the house, and both sides. The photography on. ‘Sunny” is quite in keeping with the production as a whole, considered to be the most advanced version of stage musical comedy yet transferred to the talking screen.
