I wouldn't treat a romantic scene any differently than any other scene. I would really say the biggest preparation was chewing gum and breath mints! For a kissing scene, it's all about the breath mints!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.
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.
I think of making a movie in such a romantic way.
I think it's almost easier to do a kissing scene with someone you don't know.
I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
I haven't had to do too many, or many explicit ones. Everybody feels weird, and everybody is trying to tiptoe around and make you think they're not there. The last time I did a love scene, I couldn't keep a straight face.
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen.
Kissing scenes are never romantic or sexy. They're actually super technical, like, 'Move your head; you're blocking her light,' or, 'Stop looking like an idiot when you kiss her.'
The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.
