Supernatural: Season 1, Episode 1: “The Pilot”Directed by David Nutter. Written by Eric Kripke. There are a couple of story formats set up in Supernatural.
There will be the “Monster of the Week” story (which sometimes, in later episodes, doesn’t come up at all), where the Winchester brothers travel to some random small town on a tip that weird supernatural shit is going down there and they proceed to investigate the case. The whole show could have ONLY been “Monster of the Week”, but thankfully Supernatural had bigger tricks in its pocket, and they laid those seeds down in the pilot.
But it paid off, and it is amazing to see how well the Supernatural mythology holds up, even being drawn out over 3, 4 seasons, sometimes even more. The other story format is the larger arc I’ve discussed, which is set up for us in the teaser to the entire series. It is what gets the ball rolling. There is still more to learn about the history of not only the Winchester family but the Campbell side of the line, and we are still doing that now, in season 9. How does it work? Are things foreordained?
Or do we have a choice? In later seasons, the Free Will issue becomes (literally) a celestial conversation, with implications for all of us, but it’s far more earthy in the pilot. Free Will in the pilot has to do with the roles assigned to you in your family dynamic.
Are we free to choose another role? So- and- so is the “black sheep”, so- and- so is the “good one”, and these roles continue to play out into adulthood in sometimes destructive ways. Can you break free? Sam Winchester seems like the “good” one, because he’s in college and has a nice girlfriend and goals, but then we learn that HE was the “black sheep” of the family BECAUSE he went to college.
This unfolds in sometimes- awkwardly- written exposition in the pilot, but they had to get that all in there somehow at the get- go, and they did. Free Will brings up larger questions, which are also hinted at here, things that will explode later. What does “destiny” mean? Dean’s not big on destiny. He believes you have choices and you act accordingly. But in the same breath, he tells Sam that dreaming of a white picket fence life is bullshit because what Sam IS is a hunter, “you’re one of us”. So I guess it depends on whose destiny you’re talking about, hey, Dean?
These are a lot of balls to keep in the air. So let’s get down to brass tacks. This is long. I can’t seem to help it. I’ll try to rein it in in future re- caps, but this one seemed to demand more conversation. Or, whatever, I just felt like talking about it. Avaunt! Eric Kripke and his team (producer Mc.
G, and brilliant pilot director David Nutter) wanted the series to feel cinematic. They wanted it to be a horror movie a week. There are only a couple of repeat sets. He clicked into the thrust behind the series, he understood the mood, the issues on the table, and the overlying goals. He got the “entelechy” and directed accordingly. They also were so lucky to get Aaron Schneider as DP for the pilot.
The team was ambitious. They wanted to stand out, and they knew they had to do it in the pilot. You don’t get 1. 0 shots at something like this, you get one. Supernatural is also one of the darkest (if not the most dark) series on television. I’m talking about the lack of LIGHT in it. Apparently the network balked when they saw the first dailies, because every scene is so dark you can barely see anything.
Kripke/Nutter/Mc. G stuck to their guns and got the darkness they wanted.
Supernatural had to feel like a film, that was an explicit goal from Kripke, and so it’s put together in a cinematic way, with editing choices that flow and complex shot construction: point of view shots, closeups/medium/long (lots of closeups but not JUST closeup- to- closeup shots which is standard television structure), dolly shots, panning shots, tracking shots . This is rarely seen in television, this is a from the Cinema Toolbox. A lot of the scenes between the brothers are shot with two cameras, so what we are seeing, essentially, is the same take, but from different angles. This is a huge reason why the brothers’ dynamic comes across so strongly (along with the talent of the actors): they are not performing their closeups in isolation, talking into thin air.
Their conversations have such a freshness, their silent reactions to one another, the spontaneous flashes that go across their faces in response. Lots of things are shot in Vancouver (and Canada, in general).
It’s cheaper. They have world- class crews based up there, you can get great people. Vancouver also features an evocative and (more importantly) diverse landscape, which was totally important to Supernatural, which is supposed to be a road trip across America. So how to create the illusion that these guys are traveling from St. Louis to Nebraska to Pennsylvania?
Flying the entire cast and crew around America would obviously not happen, not for a TV series, the cost would be prohibitive. But Vancouver has ocean front, and mountains, and fields, and a bustling urban area. All in one place. Vancouver can stand in for different things.
Los Angeles can stand for different things too (it has mansions, it has a downtown, it has a desert, it has an ocean, it has suburbs), but one thing it cannot stand in for is “gloomy, cold, and rainy”. The Vancouver location scouts for the series are superb, and most of the series is done on location. These guys are walking around in real towns and real swamps, and that also gives the series its cinematic atmosphere. Perfect because it unmoors the Winchester boys from familiarity. The special effects for the series have always been of the less- is- more variety, a HUGE strength. Ghosts are shown through suddenly speeded- up film (reminiscent of Japanese horror films, which makes them look completely creepy and “other”), and when they get destroyed it’s usually done in a burst of flame and screams. It feels theatrical.
I’m tired of slick CGI anyway, it never looks real enough. The series gets pretty gory, and more so as it goes on, and the makeup team is superb. So many of the scenes have them both in the same shot.
How to light each one appropriately? One size won’t fit all. Jared Padalecki is six foot four. He has brown hair, sallow skin with brown undertones, and cheeks that flush red. His features are delicate and sharp, his forehead is big, his eyes deep- set (making them difficult to light) and while his body seems lanky, he is freakin’ CUT. Jensen Ackles, meanwhile, is six foot one with a thicker jock- type body, a thick neck, so he’s also massive, but he looks “minz” next to Padalecki.
In contrast to Padalecki, his features are soft and gentle. He is very pale with freckles on his cheeks and nose. His eyes are light green, and his eyelashes are long and curly.
The challenge is how to light these two guys, with different skin tones, different heights, especially when they are in the same shot. Sometimes both guys are wearing too much makeup, it flattens them both out. The Teaser. It’s a stunner and it is hard to imagine how it could be improved. Words on the screen tell us: “Lawrence, Kansas. Years Ago.” That has to be the creepiest shadow I’ve ever seen in my life. The series could have overwhelmed us with the “normalcy” of the Winchester family 2. But instead they start out dark.
They start out with that creepy shadow on the nice house. And so, this family is already marked.
The innocence they may experience, their sense of safety, is just a delusion, anyway. Time has already run out for them. We are then introduced to a sweet sleepy goodnight ritual, with John and Mary Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Samantha Smith) putting their 6- month- old baby Sam to bed in his nursery. Dean, who is 4 years old, leans into the crib and kisses his baby brother, and it’s one of those moments that absolutely breaks your heart once you’ve seen more of the series. Dad appears in the door, in a rumpled Marine Corps T- shirt (shout out to the costume department, who always clues us in to who people are through such details, which perhaps won’t become clear and explicit until later). He calls out to his son Dean, who runs to him and is then scooped up in a huge bear hug. So revel in those fatherly hugs, kid.
Suddenly, the mobile starts turning on its own. Suddenly, the clock ticking in the corner stops. There’s a golden moon light in the corner that starts to flicker. Sam lies peacefully staring around at these wondrous events, not questioning any of it. Small shout- out as we go along, again, to Schneider, as well as to the props department.
The work, overall, is exquisite. Shots are chosen for their creep factor, as well as a clear point of view (this stuff works on audiences in subconscious ways, but it’s all there).
The first thing we see is the view of the mobile, and it is clearly from Sam’s point of view. This is very important: it is already letting us know that Sam is going to be one of our “ways in” to this story, he is the protagonist, even though, as of right now, he is an infant. Each prop chosen with such care, such a sense of detail. Night Shamalayan’s Signs? The baby monitor ends up being a crucial sign of supernatural activity there as well.
It’s a great detail. He is not there. She gets up to go investigate, leaving the frame, and the camera, startlingly, stays behind, and moves back to the bedside table, where we see both the beeping monitor and a framed picture of John and Mary, smiling and happy. I like to point out camera moves when they are effective, when they help tell the story, and what Schneider did there is eloquent. What follows is incredibly frightening. Mary, still sleepy, goes to the nursery and peeks in. She sees a dark silhouette there standing over the crib who turns his head slightly when he hears her and whispers, “Shh.” So far so good.
She turns to go back to bed, when she notices a light flickering at the end of the hallway. That is horrifying.
