Because filming on the editorial staff of the Washington Post was impossible, was the editors completely counterfeited. Even the waste in the trash cans was submitted by the real Washington Post offices. There was also used a Dioptric lens. This lens creates a natural split screen effect. Two elements (which are at different distance from the camera) on either side of the image can be so sharp. The elements in between are less sharp. The Director chose common pillars or agencies as ' intermediate element '. In the final scene is a television set, that in the background, in sharp focus, as well as Woodward at the front of picture is writing an article.
