CLAPPER OF THE WEEK: 1966 – "COURT MARTIAL"

This week's Clapper shot is from the great first-season episode Court Martial". This scene shows one of the rare shots of the bridge where we can see things that we shouldn't. The camera was probably going to zomm and/or pan in so the  details wouldn't have been seen in the final cut. But if you look closely at the lower left corner, you'll see where the bridge platform where Spock's science station is located that the cross-section of the platform's floor can be seen. Also, at the top of the frame you can clearly see lights suspended into the frame.

This is the pivotal scene in which it is discovered that the man Kirk was accused of killing was actually still alive. This scene is one of the few times we see so many different dress uniforms.

Clapper info:  Scene 97 / Take 11.
