There's just such a premium on hurrying, and the camera is the be all and end all, and the actors had better hurry up and get it right and get it done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe moviegoers don't have patience. Screenwriters are told a scene can't be longer than three minutes, that you have to cut to the chase. Not true!
An actor really suffers when the director isn't prepared because you start running out of time for the shoot and then have to do it fast.
You can finish the day's filming or the whole shoot or watch something months later and think you could have done it so much better. It's frustrating.
There's always pressure on filming. There's the weather, people, various different technical problems. There's always pressure! And there's never really enough time for anything, really!
I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.
I'd love to see the rushes but it's just not allowed because directors and also a lot of actors feel that if they see their work, and the director likes what they're doing, the actor might try to correct their mistakes.
I personally believe the film turns out better when shot in one short schedule, plus it doesn't stress the actors.
As a film director and as film actors, you get used to a certain rhythm that's slow. But with TV, it's hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. It's a different pace.
Inherently, making a movie is tough because there's so much anticipation when it happens - even if everything goes well.
Particularly in the final stages I always find that I'm rushed. It's dangerous when you're rushed in the editing stage, most of my early films are flawed in the cutting.
