These shots with the divide between Yasmina and Aicha and Yasmina and Younes were they Tom scenes?

I am not quite sure about those particular shots because both Bente and Tom have filmed at the basketball court but at this point it is clear that they are fully collaborating in the first episodes until Tom steps up further in the second half and Bente steps down to a more AD level.

Just to give you a little context, before filmmaking begins and after the script is produced there is a long pre production period where directors create the visuals of the script. The translation of words to image. This is happening through the creation of a storyboard. It is basically the visual roadmap for every director. The images of the storyboard have enough information about angles, blocking. So even if you had never read a word of the script you know exactly what is happening. That is the most significant part of production and it is carried from the beginning till the end which is the editing and the post production process. I think it is obvious that while season 4 was airing season 5 was getting worked on at a preproduction level. So Tom and Bente had access to that storyboard together.

Here is an example of what a storyboard looks like but it also has information about lenses, angles, depth etc.

By the way remember some of the images in Sander’s studio? Well they clearly were taken from the storyboard of season 3.
