“If you make a movie about Elizabeth I, how much of the dialogue is her real words? Audiences know when they go see a movie that it is fiction.” IfsKnowsRealFictionAudienceDialogue Author:Jean-Jacques Annaud
“I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative switftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience.” InspirationalFeelsCharacterPoetryMusicAudienceSceneExperienceMiseryMereTerrorCommunicateScreensDialogueLiftsNarrativeRealmsReachingLinksComposerReach OutGrandeurSound Of MusicGaietyBackground Music Author:Bernard Herrmann

“A piece of literature can be many things but first of all it must capture its audience. You need to seduce people, entice them into a world of beauty and horror, light and shadow, of passion, of romance, of mystery. That's the magic of it. Beyond that, of course, you can open a dialogue about the ideas which interest you, but first of all you absolutely must get inside people's minds.” PeopleWorldNeedsMindFirstsIdeasLightRomancePassionCoursesLiteratureInterestAudiencePiecesMagicMysteryHorrorShadowDialogueCaptureSeducingLight And Shadow Author:Carlos Ruiz Zafon
“I really enjoy the direct dialogue with the fans. I'm very cognizant of my audience.

“If the audience lets that stuff wash over them, you know - almost like music, rather than dialogue - and doesn't fight it, then they'll have a much easier time rather than being sort of frustrated and confused otherwise.

“There was not a lot of dialogue. The titles were just to keep you up. It's the visual stimulation that hits the audience. That's the reason for film.

“When you're doing those operation scenes, you not only have to be on top of the dialogue and the rhythm of the dialogue and what's happening dramatically, but you've got to technically get the rhythm right, so that everything is fitting with the dialogue at the right time. And you're performing the operation to the audience that's watching it. Thackery has to present it, as well. In some ways, that's the most challenging.” WayWellsChallengesAudienceSceneHappeningsDialogueRhythmOperationsPerformingRight TimeFitting Author:Clive Owen

“The balance when you're catching people up, and the craft of what we do as actors, is to try to make sure that the exposition sounds like thought and dialogue, and a plan or a problem or something that is motivationally induced, rather than just telling the audience information.” PeopleTryingProblemActorsSoundAudiencePlansInformationBalanceDialogueCraftsCatching Author:Jack Coleman
“The secrets that the characters hold are held back from the audience, and that's such a delight to hold onto. When you're playing scenes, it gives you an inner dialogue that allows you to really immerse yourself as the actor, in every scene that you're playing. Nothing felt expositional. Nothing felt like we were just doing it to move the story along. There was a reason these characters were saying what they're saying. It was a gift, really.” GivingReasonCharacterStoriesMovingActorsFeltSecretAudienceSceneDelightDialogue Author:Tom Hughes
