As a director, try to be humble and not to overdo it, not overcoverage and over-covering the scene.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.
The most nurturing of directors can make you feel too comfortable, and you don't really push for that extra whatever.
It's always great when a director is just supportive of what you're doing. They're not so much critiquing you but giving you more ideas, giving you tons of things to work with, making you question your character and making you think about it... and making it seem like everything is limitless. That usually helps a lot.
Being a director is almost like being another sort of character, but you're out of view.
If you're a director, your entire livelihood and your entire creativity is based on your self-confidence. Sometimes that's dangerously close to arrogance.
As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.
You have to be talentedly insecure in order to be a good actress. And then it's the director's job to make you more miserable and get a good take.
As a director, you see something in someone; you know it's there, you just got to go get it. You do that with any actor. That's your job.
As a director, you never think about how an audience would respond. You can think about that, but you will never change what you're going to do.
