Things I’ve Learned As A Moviemaker
|
| Jonathan Pryce as "Gustav Mahler" with Sarah Wynter as "Alma Mahler" in Bruce Beresford's historical drama Bride of the Wind. |
I like to direct each scene knowing it's part of a much bigger fabric.
On Rehearsing Actors
If you rehearse them too much, they get stale. You need a certain flexibility.
On Film as a Collaborative Effort
If you have a DP or a designer who really opposes you, you will end up making three different films.
On Using Color to Reflect Mood
You can make colors cold or warm; you can use them to reflect mood. I have done things with the cameraman where the character was lonely or upset and we sort of blued the room; made all the colors rather cold and unpleasant. Not in an obvious way, but it reinforces the way a character feels.
