“Movies can be effective in influencing people to think in ways they might not otherwise be exposed to. Social commentary in films is most effective when you're not aware of a soapbox. Making the point without force-feeding the audience is the most desirable approach.” PeopleThinkingWayMightFilmForceSocialAudienceInfluenceApproachExposedFeedingDesirableCommentaryInfluencing PeopleSoapbox Author:Walter Koenig
“By denying people's sense of visual beauty in painting and sculpture , melody in music , meter and rhyme in poetry , plot and narrative and character in fiction , the elite arts wrote off the vast majority of their audience . They purposely excluded people who approach art in part for pleasure and edification in favour of social one-upmanship and an ever-narrowing, in-crowd elite.” PeopleArtCharacterSocialPleasureFictionAudiencePaintingApproachMajorityCrowdsNarrativeVisualsPlotMelodyElitesRhymeFavourSculptureMeterExcludedElitismEdification Author:Steven Pinker
“I can't judge the characters I play, because it's for the audience to do. What I can try to do is to understand and embody what were they going through? How did they make the decisions they made? That to me is a more interesting way to approach something, rather than saying this person is a villain and that person is this and - because it's not very interesting to play that anyway.” WayTryingPersonsMadeI CanPlayCharacterDecisionInterestingAudienceJudgingApproachVillainVery InterestingInteresting Ways Author:Kevin Spacey
“Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music. I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.” IfsWayTryingRealDoneMomentsLeftAcceptingAudienceApproachOvercomingNotesPerformingStayingConnectingShortcomingsTry Your BestHigh NotesAcrobatics Author:Idina Menzel
“If I have ideas, I want to put them in the movie. It's not a minimalist approach at all but I feel like it's for the audience. It's about seeing how much texture we can give it and seeing how many things are there for people to latch on to... I just want to do it the way I want and I feel like it won't be helpful for me if I start worrying about that. I just have to follow my instincts. Everyone is going to respond differently to it and everybody's right - that's their point of view. That's how the story intersects with their lives.” PeopleIfsWayWantGivingFeelsIdeasStoriesViewsWorryAudienceSeeingApproachInstinctPoint Of ViewHelpfulTextureMinimalistLatches Author:Wes Anderson
“Writing, for me, is a combination of objective and subjective approach. You take an objective approach at times to get you through things, and you take a subjective approach at other times, and that allows you to find an emotional experience for the audience.” WritingAudienceEmotionalApproachObjectivesCombinationSubjective Author:Christopher Nolan
“There is no "era" of simple, focused, concept-driven identity design. There is only design that grows out of understanding audiences for specific problems, and that evolves from an idea.
