“When you're working with film, you can only shoot one angle at a time, and then everything has to stop, and you re-light it and shoot everything else from the opposite side, so it's really important that you stick exactly to what's written. But with the multi-camera digital setup, you're getting both sides of the scene at the same time, so it gives you that freedom to go off-book.” GivingImportantBookLightFilmSidesWrittenSceneOppositesCamerasSticksDigitalAngleBoth SidesSetups Author:Chris Pratt

“Here's the beauty of a camera: you don't have to come up with words for what you're looking at... Maybe another angle is needed sometimes.

“Kissing scenes are never romantic or sexy, they're actually super technical, like, "Move your head, you're blocking her light," or, "Stop looking like an idiot when you kiss her."

“I like to be flexible in the way I take pictures. I do not use a tripod, and I move around in the crowd, of which I am myself part.... I try to preserve the dynamics of the street, and my way of using the camera tries to approximate as much as possible the way we see: focusing on details, opening up to wider angles, and composing all these very short, fragmented impressions into a larger mental picture.” WayTryingUseMovingStreetsCamerasDetailsCrowdsImpressionOpeningMy WayPreservesAngleFlexibleComposingDynamicsOpening UpFragmentedTripods Author:Beat Streuli
“The biggest considerations I had were practical: how do you move such a large number of actors around a small space? So, for example, if I have to have the mother bring a pot of tea from the kitchen to the living room and serve it to the others, how do I, on a practical level, get everyone into the frame?

“I've realized that a lot of people go to see film or theater with a different expectation. I have a friend who's an actor and I can't stand watching movies with him because he never quite allows himself to just watch the story.

I'm not saying there's a wrong way to watch it - maybe that's helpful to him - but to me, you're getting way too caught up in the technical aspects.” PeopleWayI CanDifferentStoriesFilmActorsWatchesExpectationsAspectTheaterCamerasCaughtHelpfulCommentAngleCaught UpNever QuitLightingWrong WayCamera Angles Author:Condola Rashad
“'How do you balance the creative with the biblical?' One could pick up the scripture and read it to oneself and you would be communing directly with that information.

“Abby must have been the one who found the safe house, because Townsend didn't like it. "The building across the street is under construction," he snarled as soon as we'd carried our bags inside. "The elevator has key card access, and I've hacked into the surveillance cameras from every system on the block," Abby argued. "We have a three-hundred-sixty-degree visual." "Excellent."
