Easy Rider- the film itself shows us the actual road trip the crew took. Cool!
Russian Arc- 90 minute? film shows us the longest one-shot ever, er, filmed? (on digital, of course), so it’s all in order. Any other one-shots will be in order.
What other movies have been shot in order of the scenes we see?
I’ve heard that E.T. was shot mostly in order to help the young actors maintain the proper arc for their performances.
I read somewhere that Peter Weir shot Dead Poets Society in order, to capture better chemistry between Robin Williams and the group of boys.
How 'bout* The Blair Witch Project * ? Oh, and Open Water?
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope.
Three Men and a Baby.
WAG: Twelve Angry Men. I’d be shocked if it weren’t. Can anyone confirm?
I watched a documentary about Steven Spielberg where Ron Howard discussed American Graffitti being shot in sequence. He said that Speilberg wanted the actors to look worn out at the end of the movie.
Are you sure it wasn’t a documentary on George Lucas?
El Mariachi was shot in sequence, just to save money and to make the editing easier.
Ouch! Of course, you’re right.
Sixth Sense was shot in sequence.
Even a big movie like Gone With the Wind was shot more or less in order. The most notable exceptions were the Burning of the Atlanta Depot scenes, which were shot first; and the opening scenes with Scarlett and the Tarleton boys, which were shot five times over eight months.
IIRC, there are flashbacks, so do we think this means in chronological sequence or scene sequence?
Good question. When they say “shot in sequence”, I always think it’s in sequence with the script and since flashbacks are in the middle of the movie, they shot them after the scene before it (or rather, the scene the flashback occurs in the middle of).
Are you implying that most films are shot mostly in order? 
Obviously not if the movie involves moving to different countries/diverse locales, but normally they shoot as much in order as they can?
Correct.
Actually, no, not really. Most of the close-ups that appear throughout the film of each juror (which constitute a large % of the film–either in speeches or reaction shots) were shot at the same time. Because of the nature of the play/film, they could do long run-throughs over and over, but that’s not the same as shooting everything in sequence.
“Mostly” is a rather large qualifier. I have (in my job) pored over quite a large volume of feature film dailies and/or continuity scripts, and I never ran into one that was shot in order. Though there might be some general similarity to the flow of the narrative, there are countless exceptions based on logistical realities.
If you have a film where eight different scenes happen in the main character’s apartment, they’re going to be shot together, instead of coming back to the same set/location over and over. It’s a matter of common sense and fiscal discipline. Although it might’ve been easier to shoot in sequence in the older days when whole films were shot on the studio lot, commitment of resources still precluded it from being typical (or practical).
