“I look very different on camera compared with how I do in real life. On camera, I look my best when everything is enhanced, especially my eyes - I like a smoky eye. In real life, I like myself best in tinted moisturiser, lip balm and mascara.” LooksDifferentRealEyeCamerasLipsReal LifeMascara Author:Martine McCutcheon

“With portable cameras and affordable data and non-linear digital editing, I think this is a golden age of documentary filmmaking.

“I think movies say a lot [about real life], even more than theater. It says a lot about the invisible, that movies are so fascinating. The camera lens is like a microscope that goes beyond the surface. It's like you're exploring a secret, so you explore the director's secret, you explore the actor's secret, and therefore you explore the universe's secrets.” ThinkingRealUniverseActorsSecretLike YouDirectorsTheaterCamerasSurfaceReal LifeInvisibleFascinatingExploringLensesMicroscopesCamera Lenses Author:Isabelle Huppert
“With mockumentaries, the conceit is that the characters are being interviewed, so you can start a scene and cut to a character looking at the camera and saying, "I'm working on this project," instead of having to figure out ways for people to talk naturally about what they're doing. You see this problem in pilots - people end up explaining things to each other that they'd never explain in real life.” PeopleWayRealEndsCharacterProblemCuttingFiguresSceneProjectsCamerasReal LifePilotsExplainingConceitDoing YouExplaining Things Author:Michael Schur

“I'm really not trying to do everything that comes to mind because that's when it can be dangerous.

“But between the images, we are privy to the real-life action being played out on the set. Peeta's attempt to continue speaking. The camera knocked down to record the white tiled floor. The scuffle of boots. The impact of the blow that's inseparable from Peeta's cry of pain. And his blood as it splatters the tiles.” RealActionPainWhiteRecordsBloodCryCamerasImpactBlowReal LifeBootsInseparablePeetaKnocked DownBeing PlayedTiles Book:The Hunger Games Trilogy Source: The Hunger Games Trilogy
“It's strange, the lack of emotion, the absence of drama in reality. When things happen in real life, extraordinary things, there's no music, there's no dah-dah-daaahhs. There's no close-ups.

Nothing stops, the rest of the world goes on.” WorldRealRealityHappensEmotionStrangeGoes OnDramaCamerasExtraordinaryAbsenceThings HappenReal LifeDramaticAngleExtraordinary ThingsCamera Angles Book:Martyn Pig Source: Martyn Pig

“People want me to be funny all the time. They think I'm being funny no matter what I say or do and that's not the case. I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera.
