Notes
- Starting the movie they made the camera movements very subtle
- They interviewed people who actually lost their jobs to get a feel for what they need to tell the actors and how they want int to look to make it very real.
- He based a few of the elements in the movie on his real life even though his movie was based on a book.
- He put things in the background to determine the place they are at
- Had a curved hallway to signify how the flying life has no end because you can’t see the end
- Had to dial back lighting because it’s not sexy
- stole a shot from a movie (die hard) because he loved it and why not?
- moving cameras for moving people (the smaller the space the less movement) exception:big dynamic movements
- Makes the camera be the dancing partner of the actor (use the eye-line)
- subtle music is great for dramedys
- have your receptors open
