Unusual for a movie of the 2020s, director Robert Eggers and director of photography Jarin Blaschke completely eschewed multiple camera set-ups, handheld cameras and second units during the action scenes. Where most movies film an average of 20-25 shots in a day, including closeups and wide shots for coverage, Eggers and Blaschke usually did three to four heavily planned single shots per day, often with repeated takes; for example, the raid on the Slavic town, which was filmed as a four-minute continuous shot, took 25 takes to get right. This method of shooting was one of the factors that made the editing process challenging, since Eggers and editor Louise Ford didn't have a lot of additional coverage or alternative takes for when the studio wanted some scenes changed.
