It really just gives you a sense of when you need to have dialogue and when you don't, and if your pictures are telling the story, you don't need to have all this talking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think people remember pictures not dialogue. That's why I like pictures.
As writers, we do our best to conjure a world so vivid that the reader can practically walk through it - but we're still only using words and relying on readers to do a lot of work of imagining. Providing pictures as well as words offers a whole new dimension to the experience of consuming a story.
The pictures are created by the listener, with a little help from the broadcaster. The pictures are perfect. If you're showing pictures, different things in that picture can distract from the spoken word.
Honestly, dialogue is a weird area for me. It just comes naturally; I know I'm quite good at it, but I can't actually tell you why or how in any detail.
You know, photo conversations are replacing verbal conversations. I don't know if that's a bad thing. A photo is worth a thousand words.
As a visual storyteller, a lot is learning what to include so you're not being redundant between images and text.
As a director, you're looking for ways to tell the story with the whole image and not primarily dialogue.
Every picture has its own demands, and every picture stimulates something within you to tell it a certain way. I don't know what that is; I don't think too much about that.
And dialogue, I'm good at it, and it's because it's the only thing you have to work with in TV writing.
With my pictures, what I hope is that it encourages the reader to imagine more pictures of his own.
