Director of Photography
Geoffrey Unsworth died of a heart attack during the third week of shooting at the end of October 1978. Most of the film's scenes shot by him were exteriors in the first half of the movie and can be noticed by some fog and slight diffusion.
Ghislain Cloquet shot the second half and the remaining of the movie with most of his scenes in interiors with no diffusion. Rumor has that among the scenes shot by Unsworth before his death were: - 1) The foggy day-to-night seduction in the woods - 2) The tent and the strawberries when Tess is in the D'Uberville mansion. - 3) The large barn of cows being milked. - 4) The girls seeing Angel at sunrise. - 5) Angel carries the girls over the stream.
