“In These Procedurals, You Really Get To Explore These Characters”
ScreenRant : You ’ve work within the Dick Wolf universe many times . What is it about his story that really inspire you to be a part of them ?
Milena Govich : There ’s something so satisfying about get to separate a full write up from begin , middle to end in a procedural sequence . There are other show that have on-going stories , and , as a music director , you just number in , do a yoke of little pieces of the story , and then somebody else gets to fetch up it off . In these procedurals , you really get to explore these role and take it through all the way to the closing . I really love that .

Milena Govich : One of the bully acquisition that you develop as an actor is listening – and really concentrating , [ and ] focalise on what you ’re getting from whoever it is you ’re blab out to . I use those acquirement every single day on set , [ and ] even in the preparation process before I ’m even ever on bent . It ’s a great tool to have as a collaborator .
I really attempt to draw everything that ’s happen around me – everything that I ’m getting from the hand , my quisling , my theater director of picture taking , and my product decorator – and attempt to understand the account the writers have create and how to make the most of it . And then , obviously , [ it aid with ] ferment with the actors . I have a tachygraphy with them and a stage of trust with them since I ’ve done their task before .
Govich Details A Secret Prop Swap That Made The Season 6 Episode 11 Opening
“That Kind Of Movie Magic Stuff Is Really Fun”
Most Wantedhas the most daunting case out of all theFBIs , in my view , and the opening picture in this sequence was no exception . What is it like to direct such an intense succession ?
Milena Govich : I love those form of scenes because you could really spotlight and amp up the strength with dissimilar camera moves and shots , and [ determining ] , “ What do you see of the people , or the bad guy ? ” , and “ What do you not see in the possible action ? ” In the first picayune scene , you only see this much of the guy ’s face . We do n’t even see his full face until later , so those are interesting visual choices that we get to make .
Also , when you ’re doing any stunts or special impression , there ’s a plenty of planning that goes into that . For illustration , we have this meat tenderiser that he pulls up out of the flaming , and it ’s a real flame with a real essence tenderizer that arrive up off the fire , and he starts walk it towards the guy in a chair .
FBI: Most Wanted follows a specialized team tasked with apprehending high-profile criminals on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Led by experienced agents, this mobile undercover unit operates tirelessly in the field, pursuing individuals who are determined to evade justice and ensuring public safety.
If you notice , it drops out of skeletal frame for just a beat and comes back into frame . When it drops out , we did a switch . There was a prop guy on the floor that handed off an identical , but frigid , meat tenderiser . So , when it come up back up and he goes to mark the guy , it ’s all one shot , but we play a joke on you by not actually combust our other actor there – we’re using this cold tenderizer instead . That kind of movie magic stuff is really fun .
Govich Reflects On The Psychology & Relationships Of The Episode’s Perpetrator
The Storyline Was Inspired By An HBO Documentary One Of The Writers Worked On
Jake ’s actions are inexcusable , but they come from a place of trauma and a motivation to protect his babe . What did you want to express about both him and the kinship there ?
Milena Govich : That ’s a groovy interrogative . Bryce Cracknell and Wendy West are the writers of the episode , and it was very much animate by a documentary film that Bryce in reality was involved with name Foster that vent on HBO . It ’s an improbably incite news report about the fry in the foster scheme , what they go through , the traumas that they endure , and how their lives are so unlike than a child who is land up within their own family .
There was a lot of breathing in from that documentary , and what I really want the audience to see was how much these kids know each other . Whether you want to call it a injury bail bond [ or not ] , they really did grow up as siblings and see themselves as sibling . That ’s how they describe . Because they are in such a constricted and somewhat tyrannous system of rules that they have no bureau about , they ca n’t pick out to be in foster care or not .
It ’s really out of their restraint . This kid thinks that a double homicide and a kidnapping is his good option to save his sis , and I really want the hearing to realize , from his perspective , that this was the best idea he could come up with . Even though he knows that what he ’s doing is not right , he feel he had no other alternative to save her from the abuse she was enduring with her foster . So it ’s go and it ’s tragic , just like the proficient FBI : Most Wanted episodes are .
It ’s cleared how much he loves her , even from the ice skating scene . What can you share about filming that ? Did you have stunt two-base hit ?
Milena Govich : I had to learn a lot about shooting an ice skating sequence myself . I ’d never gotten to do that before , so yes , my learning bend was high on that . It was such a joy to shoot it . We did have a skating double for the actress . Her name ’s Hope Alexander , and she had just come off the tour of Disney on Ice playing Princess Tiana , and she was also a competitive ice skater growing up . She was unbelievable , and just gorgeous to look on .
And I learned , about the actual , expert shot , that there ’s something visit an ice dolly , which I ’d never heard of , but basically it ’s a television camera dolly on skis . You crowd it out and you’re able to move the camera around on the ice on these ski , so the whole camera squad ’s out there . My 1st AD was really a very experienced methamphetamine hydrochloride skater , so he was on skate on the crank , start the circle . I did not go on the ice because I am not a skater , and the last matter I require was to pass over out in the centre of my shot 24-hour interval .
But also , we were very fortunate in that our A camera focus dragger was a competitive field hockey player growing up , so he was an excellent ice skater . He put together a small camera rig that he held onto – he had a backpack with the battery and liquidator and everything – so he went out on the ice with Hope , they practise together , and then , essentially , he danced with her . It was as beautiful to watch him out there doing it with her as the footage that we were getting . It was really , really special . cry out to John Fitzpatrick , our A camera focal point tugger , who stepped up and shot all that wonderful stuff for us .
The picture at the end between Hana and Jake was a really heartbreaking present moment . What were you asking for from the doer ?
Milena Govich : Those scene are always so difficult for the actors . You ’ve got to launch into this big emotional import , revealing backstory while the stakes are very high and the scene is comparatively long , so there ’s a lot of dialogue , and so you have to sustain your emotion over a tenacious fit over multiple takes . I am so thankful to our actors Keisha Castle - Hughes and Keyon Bowman , our guest player that spiel Jake .
They really constitute not only the vulnerability , but the shape of the view and the reveals that happen in that bit why he ’s doing what he ’s doing and what he wanted out of his action . Then [ we were ] seeing in his performance his discovery that it ’s never proceed to turn out the mode he hoped . see that arc was really , really significant , and they both were just fireball .
Ray’s Family Storyline Was The Perfect Pairing For The Main Plot
“You Kind Of See Two Sides Of The Coin”
Ray ’s storyline with his founding father was a big part of the episode , as well . What did you feel stand out about that relationship ?
Milena Govich : It ’s a corking plot line to juxtapose with the tyke ’ plot line because they ’re coming from the surrogate arrangement , and “ What do they have to do to escape their circumstance that they had no controller over ? ” To see Ray with such a caring relationship with his own founder and that bond that they have , you kind of see two position of the coin there .
And Steven Williams is such a fantastical actor . He ’s so much merriment to sour with , and he and Edwin Hodge , who plays Ray , work off of each other so well . They have a banter between the two of them that really makes you believe that they ’ve got that sort of aspirational beginner - son relationship that we all hope we ’ll have with our parent .
It ’s also a very relatable plot line . There are a lot of us dealing with elderly parents that possibly should n’t be doing some of the hooey they ’re doing , and how do you make out with that while still being venerating and supportive , but trying to also take maintenance of them ? It ’s a snatch of a role reversal that a lot of citizenry are going through right now , so I suppose it ’s a really compelling element of their kinship .
