A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like having characters as props. I never want a character to be a prop.
You need the audience to become invested in the characters and in order to become invested, they need to identify with the characters... and that's why the characters need to be real.
I'm afraid I don't have a very pragmatic or unromantic view of props. I don't imbue them with any great sense of mystery or anything.
In times of trial, for inspiration, people want to look to real people rather than to fiction.
Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.
I suspect that we get used to particular sorts of stories being presented in particular sorts of ways, and we're so used to interpreting them and understanding what it is they're doing that we think of those forms and styles as faithful, complete depictions of reality.
It's much easier to make a movie with kind of stylistic pyrotechnics because you can hide behind that if there's a gap in the story.
If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.
There are so few representations of women that look remotely real in scripted television.
In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story.
