where were the beach scenes filmed in dunkirk
Dunkirk (2017 film) The production team and scouting locations were chosen before Nolan and Thomas solicited Warner Bros. Pictures to make the film.[18] Nolan and his production designer Nathan Crowley toured the beach of Dunkirk while location scouting, and decided to film there despite the logistical challenges,[12] discarding Suffolk as an alternative. Crowley set up a makeshift art department in Nolan's garage, and colourised black-and-white photographs to better understand the visual representation. The design aesthetic was made to look as contemporary as possible.[18] Hoyte van Hoytema, who had previously collaborated with Nolan on Interstellar, was chosen as the director of photography.[40] The Hollywood Reporter stated that Nolan made a deal with Warner Bros. to receive a $20 million salary plus 20% of the box office gross;[41] however, Vanity Fair reported that Nolan agreed to receive a low upfront salary in exchange for a large backend percentage.[42]
