Real filming on the ocean made control difficult because of the tides, so when the weather worsened, Martin immediately moved to the studio, using the studio's setup to recreate a realistic ocean environment.
Surrounding the studio's water pool, green screens had already been set up, allowing shots to be replaced with corresponding ocean backgrounds in post-production.
The director's station was set up on an elevator platform. Martin stared at the monitor, watching Blake Lively's close-up.
The scene being shot was of the female protagonist being attacked by a shark, screaming in agony as she lay on the rocks.
There were multiple close-ups of her face.
Blake Lively was still screaming when Martin took off his headphones and shouted, "Stop!"
The crew ceased filming.
Blake thought she had messed up again, having had a fair number of NGs these past few days due to performance issues.
Martin said to her, "It's not about you." He looked at the crew, "Dan, come over."
