“Before college, I acted in my room, to classical music, because music tells stories. I'd put on a record and proceed, silently. I'd keep putting the needle back to a certain segment because I hadn't died well enough. I had to really, really feel dead. I'd love to do a death scene.” FeelsWellsEnoughStoriesCertainRoomsRecordsCollegeSceneMusic IsDiedClassical MusicNeedles Author:Amanda Plummer
“I want to focus on each scene. I'm a real perfectionist, and I don't want to feel like I didn't consider every possible variation of a scene.

“It doesn't matter what you feel - ultimately, it's what the audience feels. You can finish a scene and think to yourself, 'Oh, God. I was so deep in that moment,' and find it just didn't play.

“Cut like crazy. Less is more. I've often read manuscripts - including my own - where I've got to the beginning of, say, chapter two and have thought: “This is where the novel should actually start.” A huge amount of information about character and backstory can be conveyed through small detail. The emotional attachment you feel to a scene or a chapter will fade as you move on to other stories.

“I love it when characters surprise you, just like real people. When I write a scene I just try to make the characters behave in a way that feels natural to them.

“I don't particularly like the idea that there's an arc to the story and that therefore in this scene you have to convey this bit of information or emotion. I like more the feeling that, of course, there is a shape to the story, but that each scene should feel right, should be true at that moment, and that gradually you accumulate these moments of truth until you get enough of them together that it becomes a story that's interesting.” FeelsShouldIdeasEnoughMomentsStoriesFeelingsTogetherCoursesBitsInterestingEmotionInformationSceneShapesBeing TrueThat MomentArcsFeels RightMoment Of Truth Author:Michael Winterbottom

“I'm just aware of what I'm thinking and feeling but I do obviously have to get that to the back of the auditorium.

“What I mean by living to one's-self is living in the world, as in it, not of it: it is as if no one know there was such a person, and you wished no one to know it: it is to be a silent spectator of the mighty scene of things, not an object of attention or curiosity in it; to take a thoughtful, anxious interest in what is passing in the world, but not to feel the slightest inclination to make or meddle with it.” IfsKnowsWorldFeelsMeanPersonsSelfInterestAttentionObjectsSceneSilentCuriosityPassingPassingsThoughtfulAnxiousInclinationSpectators Book:Table-talk: Or Original Essays Source: Table-talk: Or Original Essays

“I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative switftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience.” InspirationalFeelsCharacterPoetryMusicAudienceSceneExperienceMiseryMereTerrorCommunicateScreensDialogueLiftsNarrativeRealmsReachingLinksComposerReach OutGrandeurSound Of MusicGaietyBackground Music Author:Bernard Herrmann
