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.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Kissing in the movies is a real art - figuring out where to put your heads so it looks good on camera. I have had other co-stars who couldn't work that out, which made it a lot harder for me.
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!
As opposed to trying to make a kiss look romantic or sweet or passionate, it's kind of fun to just have the freedom to make it look weird, goofy and awkward.
It's always weird doing love scenes. And the thing is, you can't really photograph two people kissing naturally, because then you wouldn't be able to see anything.
Intimate scenes or a kiss is a very technical aspect of filmmaking. It is extremely mechanical.
You don't even really get used to doing scenes where you have to kiss, or be particularly intimate, with another person who's not actually your lover in real life.
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
I can't bear kissing scenes.
I think it's almost easier to do a kissing scene with someone you don't know.
Kissing is not just kissing. It is a major escalation or de-escalation point in a powerful process of mate choice.
