On Seeing the Big Picture
I like to direct each scene knowing it’s part
of a much bigger fabric.
If you rehearse them too much, they get stale. You need a certain flexibility.
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.
