I don't find intimate scenes more difficult than other scenes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think all movie love scenes are hard because you can't truly be as intimate as you would be with anyone you're truly with, and everyone's watching you.
The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.
It's difficult for me to say, but I don't think the sex scenes are particularly erotic.
I prefer love scenes to be shot up close with a lot of focus on eyes and mouths. Otherwise it can feel uncomfortable and voyeuristic.
It's always a little nerve-wracking to do a love scene, more than anything because it's just awkward.
I think when you get on with the actors that you're working with, even if you do have really intimate scenes, as long as you get on well, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it, then it's fine.
For a director, the most challenging scenes are the dialogue scenes.
I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy.
Intimate scenes or a kiss is a very technical aspect of filmmaking. It is extremely mechanical.
I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do.
