“It all depends on the directors. Working closely with a director is the main job of a film composer. Interpreting what he perceives as a color, an emotion or mood is very abstract. A director tells you something he wants and then you have to run back...” WantRunningJobsFilmEmotionColorDependsDirectorsMoodPerceiveAbstractComposerInterpretingFilm Composers Author:Danny Elfman
“I love Kimberly Peirce. Incredibly intense is a good way of describing her. Brutally honest. Really sharp. She's a director for actors. That's what she's best at, sitting down with an actor and just getting to the heart of what a scene is. And getting to the heart of not just what the scene is and the character is, but what you are, and how to build that bridge between the "me" and the character, and those emotions.” WayHeartCharacterActorsEmotionHonestSceneDirectorsSittingIntenseBridgesDescribingGood WaySitting DownBrutally Honest Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt

“In 'Beowulf,' director Robert Zemeckis uses a technique called 'motion capture' to conjure fantastical things, angles into action and sweeping vistas to stun your eyes and take your breath away. But what he hasn't mastered and what the technique can't do is this: emotion capture.” UseEyeActionEmotionDirectorsBreathsTechniqueCaptureAngleSweepingVistas Author:Stephen Hunter
“Most films and directors lose their nerve and want to indicate [emotions] a bit more, to show that their story is clear. I'm not saying that's a good thing; as an actor its anathema to good acting, but to have someone with the confidence to say that should I be utterly natural and minimalist is great.” WantShouldStoriesShowsFilmActorsBitsLosesNaturalActingEmotionClearDirectorsGood ThingsNervesShould IMinimalistAnathemaGood Acting Author:Matt Damon

“Yes, there was a massive difference between their styles. David is a very technical director and Chris is an actor's director, in the sense of emotion. With David, he's done horror films, so Eclipse is much darker, whereas I found New Moon really light and poetic.

“I worked for 20 directors as a production designer, most male. I was on the set to witness firsthand a range of sometimes atrocious emotions - well-documented firings, yellings, fights between directors and actors, hookers, abusive things, budget overages, lack of preparation. A man gets a standing ovation for crying because he's so sensitive, but a woman is shamed.” MenWellsSometimesFightingActorsEmotionCryDirectorsStandingMalesProductionsWitnessPreparationRangeBudgetsSensitiveDesignerYellingAbusiveFiringOvation Author:Catherine Hardwicke
