“Whatever field you can do that, that's where you want to do it, and I think that's why people like David Fincher and Ridley Scott are interested in it, too, because when you sit down on a meeting in HBO and they're like, "More, more." You're just like, "Oh yeah, I love this." Sometimes it's a little harder in film. I think also it's a great audience, take advantage of it. It's a great audience.” PeopleThinkingWantLittlesSometimesFilmCan DoAudienceFieldsAdvantageHarderYeahMeetingsHbo Author:Charlize Theron
“When I perform in front of large audiences, I'm much more comfortable, because I've already performed in front of tiny audiences - which is much harder, honestly.

“When you work towards your goals, you become healthier and healthier, mentally. It is very hard to do with a negative attitude. You just need to become more and more positive.

“I think the experience of getting an audience a little bit tense and shocking them with a jump scare, and then moving on it can be cheap and easy.

“When critics or people judge, I think it's harder to make a commercial, pop movie than it is to make a pretentious art film. It's harder to reach millions of people and satisfy them and make them happy. These films kind of get ghettoized, this genre because there are so many big, big movies that are such big hits, but aren't any good. The audiences, they're not judging the style of the director, or the execution of the film. They're just looking to be entertained. They want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities.” PeopleThinkingWantKindArtBigsRealityFilmMillionsAudienceStyleJudgingDirectorsHarderCriticsPopsGenreExecutionPretentiousBig MovieArt FilmsNot Judging Author:Brett Ratner
“Kids, if anything, are harder to write for because they are a more discerning audience. They will not stay with you if you go off on a tangent or if you give them extraneous information that doesn't serve the story. You really have to tell a tight story. You have to give them humor and suspense and believable characters. All those things that adults want too, but you have to be really on your game when you're writing for kids.” IfsWantGivingWritingCharacterStoriesKidsGamesAudienceInformationAdultsHarderSuspenseBelievableDiscerning Author:Rick Riordan
“I definitely prefer the single camera better. For me it's the simple fact that I enjoy working in front of an audience, but when you're trying to create a suspension of disbelief it's much harder to do in front of audience because they become a partner. Moreso than that, they become in charge of the timing. From the simple, mechanical fact that you have to hold for their laughter. The actual timing of the scene is in the hands of the audience. As a control freak, I don't enjoy that as much as the ability to be able to control it in an edit room.” TryingFactsHandsAbleEnjoySimpleAbilityRoomsAudienceFrontsSceneLaughterHarderCamerasPartnersFreakTimingDisbeliefEditsSuspensionControl FreakSuspension Of Disbelief Author:Jonathan Groff
“I think distribution has become a lot harder. With the whole explosion of digital video, there's just a lot more people making films. Distributors have a lot more choice. I do think there's an audience out there for small films. It's obvious to me what the studios do: they've co-opted independent film. They all have their independent arm.

“I started to make harder jokes before anyone else did. And the producers would get anxious. They'd say, 'That's a little bit hard-edged, isn't it?' And I'd say, 'Let's just try it and see how the audience reacts. If they don't like it, let's cut it out.' And the audience roared with laughter, so I learned you could do this harder humor and people loved it.” PeopleIfsTryingLittlesHardBitsAudienceCuttingLittle BitLaughterJokesHarderProducersAnxious Author:John Cleese
