The Dialogue

The dialogue will be as realistically written as possible. Much of the information that needs to be passed to the viewer will naturalized into common speaking language. If the script hasn’t achieved that, I will attempt to further naturalize the dialogue on the set. I will approach each shooting day looking out for one thing: do the actions and words of the characters feel real to me. Do I believe them.

I shot a documentary a while back for the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center. The doc was filmic and the characters very genuine. These weren't fictional characters, but its the genuine nature of there conversations that I want to shoot for during this production. You can watch those spots here.
