Editing The Seventh Seal (section)

===Filming===
All scenes except two were shot in or around the [[Filmstaden]] studios in Solna. The exceptions were the famous opening scene with Death and the Knight playing chess by the sea, and the ending with the [[Danse Macabre|dance of death]], which were both shot at [[Hovs Hallar]], a rocky, precipitous beach area in north-western Scania.<ref name=f2f>[http://www.ingmarbergman.se/page.asp?guid=0A7C85BA-E1D8-410F-B9E0-95A5DC3CC844 Ingmar Bergman Face to Face – Shooting the film The Seventh Seal] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100823185840/http://www.ingmarbergman.se/page.asp?guid=0A7C85BA-E1D8-410F-B9E0-95A5DC3CC844 |date=23 August 2010}}</ref>

In the ''Magic Lantern'' autobiography Bergman writes of the film's iconic penultimate shot: "The image of the Dance of Death beneath the dark cloud was achieved at hectic speed because most of the actors had finished for the day. Assistants, electricians, and a make-up man and about two summer visitors, who never knew what it was all about, had to dress up in the costumes of those condemned to death. A camera with no sound was set up and the picture shot before the cloud dissolved."<ref>Ingmar Bergman (1988). ''The Magic Lantern''. Penguin Books. London. pp. 274–275.</ref>
