Several elements of “Adolescence” are remarkable, from Philip Barantini’s direction to the young Owen Cooper’s charged acting. But we finally have an answer to one of the puzzling details of this Netflix original: How did the limited series capture its drone shot at the end of Episode 2?
One of details that makes “Adolescence” so extraordinary is its camera work. Each of the series’ four hourlong episodes is a oner, meaning it was filmed in one shot with no breaks for editing. It’s a style of filmmaking that Barantini, who’s known for his work on the movie “Boiling Point,” has mastered.
