“I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated. And there's so much more responsibility because the medium is very much a director's medium. Television is much more of a producer's writer's medium so a lot of the time when you're directing a television show they have a color palette on set or a visual style and dynamic that's already been predetermined and you just kind of have to follow the rules.” KindShowsBitsResponsibilityStyleTelevisionColorDirectorsComplicatedMediumsProducersVisualsTelevision ShowsPalettePredetermined Author:Jason Bateman
“The director makes the movie. The director has to have the story in their head, has to know the style of the piece, has to answer questions from actors, design, set, lighting, every department throughout the pre-production, production, and post-production, because they've got it in their mind. They've got to know exactly what they want and what the style and story of the movie is. It's them.

“Pastoureau combines a charming, conversational tone with a haughtiness I found entirely endearing. A director of studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes at the Sorbonne in Paris, he writes from a position of professorial confidence. He has conducted extensive research into the history of colour for a quarter century and his aim is to correct misapprehensions and banish ignorance. His style is not to inquire, explore or interrogate, in the fashion of academic studies today. It is to impart knowledge.” WritingTodayFoundStudyCenturyFashionStylePositionIgnoranceDirectorsResearchAimParisToneColourQuartersAcademicCharmingImpartEndearingHaughtiness Author:Sebastian Smee
“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
