"eps3.4_runtime-error.r00" is the fifth episode of the third season of the American thriller drama television series Mr. Robot. The episode is presented as a single, continuous shot.
Production
The episode was shot to appear as a "one take": a single, continuous shot. Series creator and director Sam Esmail chose the style to convey the seamlessness of experience between characters Elliot and Angela. Since the set was split between Manhattan and Brooklyn, a single take proved impossible. Some shots included up to 15 cues and 27 takes. For the shots that floated between the Evil Corp skyscraper and the riots outside, cinematographer Tod Campbell and camera operator Aaron Medick used a Trinity stabilizing arm. The crew originally planned to let the hour progress in real time, swapping between individuals, but arrived at the one take for its heightened drama. Esmail stated that he was not interested in attempting the long take for showmanship purposes, but felt that the style was the best means for his desired tone.[1]
Reception
The New York Times described the episode as among the year's most unforgettable.[2]
