IndustryThe Season 3 finale is a blessing and a curse for viewers who ship Robert Spearing (Harry Lawtey) and Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela).
After three seasons of construction, the two finally confess their love for each other and have sex for the first time. A few hours later, Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) announces that he and Yasmin are engaged. Talk about whiplash.

The announcement comes at a birthday dinner for Henry’s uncle, Otto Mostyn (Roger Barclay). Many guests gather around a long table, talking loudly and enjoying the rich feast in front of them. But in the moments following the engagement news, the happy lovers disappear, leaving only Yasmin and Robert staring at each other at the table.
“I’m sorry,” Yasmin told Robert.
“I understand,” he replied. And us: For Yasmin, the whole season is built around trying to find safety after her father’s disappearance and various legal problems. Marrying Henry would reduce these problems, especially since Otto told her that if she lived with Henry, he would make sure that none of her tabloids would tell stories about her involvement in her father’s death. Blackmail comparison, if you will.
The exchange between Yasmin and Robert is only two lines long, but the decision to remove everyone from the room because they talk too much. In almost all its operations, Industry focus on facing the facts. In season 3, it has started to take some stylistic changes, like Robert’s ayahuasca trip and now this close-up with Robert and Yasmin. With the world only reaching the two of them, we feel like we’re watching something other than a period drama – think of the dance scene between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in 2005 Pride and Prejudicewhen all the other dancers fall. Yasmin and Robert’s entire stay at Henry’s house is like a period drama as a whole, so the choice to depart a little from reality here is a further testament to the play and genre.

However, as Lawtey revealed in an interview with Mashable, the sequel wasn’t originally written that way. Instead, the disappearance of the entire crowd happened at the request of Lawtey and Abela.
“[Marisa and I] both of them were talking about that situation many days before. “We knew it was a really important moment, maybe the most historic moment of their relationship so far, and we really wanted to get that,” Lawtey said. at that time.”
To hit the nail on the head, Abela and Lawtey asked their co-directors Mickey Down and Konrad Kay if they could be the only two actors in the room to play next to each other, since the supporting cast wouldn’t be there. .
“We thought it might be easier to have some peace in the room and find that time,” Lawtey said.
Down and Kay agreed, and after shooting the close-ups, they ended up liking the view of the almost empty room until they realized they wanted to put it on display.
“It was a quick, almost impulsive decision from what was a very active request from me and Marisa. I think that really speaks to her. [Down and Kay’s] freedom as runners, and this idea of ​​’the best wins’ kind of culture and the ability to just go with the flow of the shot, which can be very unpredictable and difficult to control,” said Lawtey. something that sounds interesting artistically, so we all have a license to pursue that and follow it. “
