When you're filming, it's very different from what you see on screen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you make a movie, you know you're making a long-form thing, so the visuals are different than for a video where it has to be more obvious or in your face, I think, a little bit.
Filming is a witnessing process. You don't try to control it, even though sometimes you wish you could because it can go really, really wrong for you.
I began to realise that film sees the world differently than the human eye, and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed.
One of the advantages of this found footage format is that you can have deliberately badly composed frames. Here we can put a camera in the weirdest angle and it kind of throws you off. You never know what you are supposed to be paying attention to. It's deliberate chaos.
In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.
Once you get into your stride, the camera becomes like another person in the room. It's like being in a very small theatre where there is no getting away with anything because the audience is centimetres away from you.
Most of the time you spend filming a show is time you spend without the cameras on, when you're not acting.
Making a pretty picture, an image, is a completely different thing from acting to camera.
When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.
When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.
