Mar-scene-i

The Hollywood term for the last scene being filmed in a workday on set. Mar-scene-i is a playful play on words, playing off of the “martini” which is the Hollywood term for the last camera setup (or shot) of the day. The Martini shot will always be in the mar-scene-i. If the mar-scene-i is a one setup scene/ one shot scene - then it is also the martini. The term “mar-scene-i” was introduced to sets during the production of season 2 of the TV show “All Rise” at Warner Brother Studios, 2020.

An AD yells across the set, “The mar-scene-i is up! It’s the last scene of the night!”
