thinking editing ideas
Performance is made in the editing room, and I've come to see the truth in that - the idea that they say performances are usually made in the editing room because what you film is the raw material. I think just going through the process of saying, "Which take do we use? Why is that the take we want? I want that take can you edit again, I'm not sure that's the one, I think it's this one." And just because you go through that process, I think somehow it's made me sort of more open about the [actor's] possibilities.
thinking editing gone
Having gone through editing process, I can see that in actor's faces there's point where they're not managing their performance and that's, I think, the best place to be. You've done the homework, you've learned the lines, at that point you just sort of let it out.
editing psychology magic
I feel there's so much still to learn about acting. But there is some magic in the capturing of performance and in the process of editing a performance. The psychology of human beings and what's coming through the face... that fascinates me.
editing editors watches
I have a great editor and I enjoy, in a masochistic way, being ruthless about my own performance. There's an initial point in the editing, if you're directing yourself, especially in my case, where you go, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, I can't watch this." And then, there's a point where you become hard-nosed and just take your neurosis away and go, "What's working? That's okay. That's okay. We can lose that, and lose that." You get objective about it.
editing giving way
I'm more relaxed about how the editing process will create a performance and that, in a way, gives me a sense of freedom.
avoid call camera guerrilla informs might particular shooting smacks street style wants
Fernando has a particular shooting style, ... which you might call guerrilla or documentary. He wants to avoid anything that smacks of a camera setup. It's as if the street informs the camera.

There's only one day to shoot one scene, you don't get a second chance. You've got to say, This is what I feel. Could I try this?

That's the last thing that I would do. I wouldn't be that patronizing.
again asks corporate corrupt couples early falls gone honesty intriguing justin level love people personal political questions relationships simple since suspicious thinking uncover vast work
I think he falls in love with her all over again after she's gone and as he uncovers what she had been up to -- her work to uncover a vast and very corrupt corporate and political conspiracy. It's particularly intriguing since -- for much of the early part of the film -- Justin is suspicious of her; thinking she was having an affair. I think the film asks questions about relationships between people and personal honesty. The honesty between couples and not just at the level of betrayal, but just about simple communication.
You just want to find that little thing.
