You have to write a good score that you feel good about. At least, you're supposed to. But, if the director hates it, it ain't going to be in the movie!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If it's a real bad score, then it can ruin a movie for me, or, at least, it will draw a lot of my attention to the score.
A good film demands its own score, and if you are a musician, your conscience will never allow you to do something mediocre for a good film.
The score, which comes often quite later in a film, can help reinvigorate your emotional engagement with it.
If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.
Most often the music does end up in the movie, and sometimes there's a point where I wish that it wasn't, just because I think the score would be more effective if there was less of it. But, again, that's not my call.
Directors only have instinct to work out of, because there is no formula. Formulas don't work. Actually, if you follow a formula, you will probably end up with a bad movie.
I don't run after successful directors. I give importance to the content of the film.
Many times I felt like I'd do better than what the director did, but some of them got a little discouraged because they didn't have full charge of making the film, and sometimes there'd be battles of egos.
You act in a movie, and at the end of the day, the director and editor decide what your performance is.
It doesn't matter who's directing, or who's doing the movie; there are a ton of things that can go wrong, and they do all the time. So you just have to figure out how to get through it, and then how the director finally puts it together, and then see what the audience takes from it. That's the most important thing to me.
