“If you're a certain type of actor, then eventually stepping into a director's shoes is a natural transition. I've always been the actor who's very focused on the narrative, where my character is in the story, and how I can benefit the story. I've always had a technical aspect of what the lens is, how the camera is going to move, how I can feed the information the director applies within that move. If you're that type of actor, narrative-based, technically proficient, the next step is actually not that far.” IfsI CanCharacterStoriesMovingCertainNextActorsNaturalStepsInformationTypeDirectorsBenefitsAspectCamerasShoesFocusedNarrativeTransitionLensesNext Steps Author:Russell Crowe
“The close-up has no equivalent in a narrative fashioned of words. Literature is totally lacking in any working method to enable it to isolate a single vastly enlarged detail in which one face comes forward to underline a state of mind or stress the importance of a single detail in comparison with the rest. As a narrative device, the ability to vary the distance between the camera and the object may be a small thing indeed, but it makes for a notable difference between cinema and oral or written narrative, in which the distance between language and image is always the same.” MindMayStatesFacesLiteratureLanguageDifferencesAbilityWrittenObjectsImportanceStressCamerasMethodDistanceDetailsNarrativeCinemaComparisonDevicesState Of MindLackingSmall ThingsVaryNotable Author:Italo Calvino

“Some people's lives seem to flow in a narrative; mine had many stops and starts. That's what trauma does. It interrupts the plot. You can't process it because it doesn't fit with what came before or what comes afterward. A friend of mine, a soldier, put it this way. In most of our lives, most of the time, you have a sense of what is to come. There is a steady narrative, a feeling of "lights, camera, action" when big events are imminent. But trauma isn't like that. It just happens, and then life goes on. No one prepares you for it.” PeopleWayDoeFeelingsBigsLightSeemsHappensActionProcessOur LivesEventsMinesGoes OnFitFlowCamerasSoldierTraumaNarrativePlotSteadyLife Goes OnBig Events Author:Jessica Stern
