I have tremendous respect for film composers. ~ John Corigliano
Film Composers quotes by John Corigliano
It all depends on the directors. Working closely with a director is the main job of a film composer. Interpreting what he perceives as a color, an emotion or mood is very abstract. A director tells you something he wants and then you have to run back. ~ Danny Elfman
Film Composers quotes by Danny Elfman
I don't think a guy that really has no understanding about people, or has no interest in understanding people would make a good film composer. ~ Stanley Clarke
Film Composers quotes by Stanley Clarke
With the new technology that keeps entering the media, film composers are constantly being placed in new learning situations. Acknowledging this and realizing that one must keep up, I maintain, nonetheless, that the real creative power is in the mind and heart of the composer. ~ Henry Mancini
Film Composers quotes by Henry Mancini
Be persistent. Establishing yourself in this field could easily take years. Rarely will any composer get that one "big break." More often, success is built on hundreds - or thousands - of very small breaks. When I decided that I was definitely going to pursue a career as a film composer, I decided I was going to beat my head against that particular wall until something broke. ~ John Keltonic
Film Composers quotes by John Keltonic
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways. ~ Ansel Adams
Film Composers quotes by Ansel Adams
Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year. ~ Christopher Young
Film Composers quotes by Christopher Young
To spend any time with someone who is among the top five film composers of the last 50 years is pure gold dust. I mean, not necessarily stylistically, because everyone is different in what their music sounds like, but the approach and how to look at a film, how to think about a film, how to decide what you want to do, how to think about characters, how to think about art, how to think about narrative, how to liaise with producers, how to liaise with directors. ~ Henry Jackman
Film Composers quotes by Henry Jackman
I usually start from the most general to the more specific. I'll get an emotional overview for the film as a whole, trying to pinpoint what the musical identity is and come up with thematic ideas - any ideas that identify as succinctly as possible what the film is. ~ Marco Beltrami
Film Composers quotes by Marco Beltrami
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't. ~ Jean-Luc Godard
Film Composers quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
Film is like a personal diary, a notebook or a monologue by someone who tries to justify himself before a camera. ~ Jean-Luc Godard
Film Composers quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting. ~ Jackie Chan
Film Composers quotes by Jackie Chan
I will no longer be an actor to hire, I have a passion for producing and making films. ~ Ryan Phillippe
Film Composers quotes by Ryan Phillippe
Dear Helga, Some people die from what is beyond them. Others die because death has been in them for ages, clamping their veins from within. They all die. Each in his own way. Some fall to the floor midsentence. Others depart peacefully in a dream. Do their dreams then end, as when the film is no longer projected onto the screen? Or do their dreams just change in appearance, taking on new light and colors? Is this perceptible in any way to the one who dreams? ~ Bergsveinn Birgisson
Film Composers quotes by Bergsveinn Birgisson
I do feel like animated films really combine a lot of different of art forms: film-making and writing and drawing and painting - to a certain extent, even sculpting. It's a wonderful medium to work with as a craftsman because it's such so rich and so varied and so expressive. ~ John Musker
Film Composers quotes by John Musker
Your job is always the same if it's a juggernaut or if it's just one of these little jewels of a film that's gonna wind up at the Laemmle or something, so your job doesn't change whatsoever ... give it your best shot. ~ Morgan Freeman
Film Composers quotes by Morgan Freeman
One of the things I tried to do is to kind of talk my actors through the scene, but at the same time let them know how I plan to shoot the film and just give them an insight into the way I'm thinking, so that when they're acting out their scene, they can kind of see it in their minds' eyes. ~ James Wan
Film Composers quotes by James Wan
When you're working on a film, it's almost like photographing paintings at a museum. You're photographing somebody else's world. I just try and interpret it and make it real, and make it what the actors are about, what the director is about, and what the film is about. ~ Mary Ellen Mark
Film Composers quotes by Mary Ellen Mark
I've realized that what you think of when you make a 'big movie,' if it's actually a green screen movie, it's like doing independent New York theater because you don't have any backgrounds or props. So it's kind of like making the lowest budgeted film you could possibly imagine, plus $100 million. ~ Emile Hirsch
Film Composers quotes by Emile Hirsch
If you ask [my daughter] what I do for a living, she says, 'Mommy's a superhero'. And then one day, not that long ago, I think we were taking a break shooting Infinity War, and I was going into the office - I wasn't doing anything film-related - and I was like, 'Okay, see you later, honey. Mommy has to go to work.' And she was like, 'Who are you fighting? ~ Scarlett Johansson
Film Composers quotes by Scarlett Johansson
I think I'm no different to my friends who are doctors or businessmen or architects - we all started watching films of the golden age together. But whether I'm making films or writing poetry or doing photography, it's very much rooted in my sense of unease. And that's really where everything goes back to. ~ Abbas Kiarostami
Film Composers quotes by Abbas Kiarostami
I can't really say that film music inspired me; it is more the films themselves, in connection with the music. ~ Volker Bertelmann
Film Composers quotes by Volker Bertelmann
OK, publishing a book and releasing a movie is all very well, but Tottenham beating Man. U. 3-2 ... priceless. ~ Salman Rushdie
Film Composers quotes by Salman Rushdie
When I photographed Marilyn Monroe, I mixed up my cameras - one had black-and-white film, the other color. I took many pictures. Only two color ones came out all right. My favorite picture of Marilyn hangs always on the wall in my office. It was taken on the little patio of her Hollywood house. ~ Alfred Eisenstaedt
Film Composers quotes by Alfred Eisenstaedt
For instance, when I go to the premiere on Tuesday I probably won't watch the film at all - I'll be watching the audience just to see their reaction to different moments, what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong, stuff like that. ~ Devon Sawa
Film Composers quotes by Devon Sawa
I think I'll try to keep working in film for a little bit. There's something still kind of magical about it, that I don't want to let go of. ~ Joe Swanberg
Film Composers quotes by Joe Swanberg
When you listen to the music, you can also see the film or read the article, and it's all part of the same journey that you get to take with the artist you're interested in. It's a balancing act. ~ Cameron Crowe
Film Composers quotes by Cameron Crowe
I have been devoured all my life by an incurable and burning impatience: and to this day find all oratory, biography, operas, films, plays, books, and persons, too long. ~ Margot Asquith
Film Composers quotes by Margot Asquith
It's hard to get yourself into a position where someone will trust you to direct a film anyway, whatever sex you are. Certainly in England, the film set is a very male preserve. There's a lot of very rough looking men pushing equipment around that don't want the gaffer to be a girl. ~ Colin Firth
Film Composers quotes by Colin Firth
Every time I do one I feel like I've never really quite learned anything. I always find that when I'm making a film, I find it a little bit like I'm doing it for the first time. ~ Adrian Lyne
Film Composers quotes by Adrian Lyne
By far, the content of Canadian films. You're able to push the envelope in ways you can't in the U.S., I find. But also, because of the budgets and everything, it's all condensed, quick, and short. ~ Kristen Hager
Film Composers quotes by Kristen Hager
'The Best Man' was my first feature film, and I didn't want to be known as a director who only does romantic comedies. ~ Melissa De Sousa
Film Composers quotes by Melissa De Sousa
Cannes is a circus, so you have to have fun with it. Everything suddenly becomes funny. And the promotion of a movie - that's where you really need to be a good actor. You need to make journalists believe that what you're saying is just for them and you've never said it before, even when you're talking about the same film over and over again. ~ Mathieu Amalric
Film Composers quotes by Mathieu Amalric
It's hard, really, to make any physical movement that hasn't been done in another film. If you grab someone's hand, it doesn't mean you're referencing other films with grabbing hands. ~ Simon Pegg
Film Composers quotes by Simon Pegg
A director could be 20 years old and an actor 60, or vice versa; it doesn't matter. It's about connecting sensibility and energy together, and having a vision that goes together and anchors the film as you go along. ~ Juliette Binoche
Film Composers quotes by Juliette Binoche
Then, there on the screen I saw Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor. An American Tragedy, a film I'd seen at least twice, not that it was all that great, but still it was very good, especially the final scene, which was unreeling at this particular moment: Clift and Taylor standing together, separated by the bars of a prison cell, a death cell, for Clift is only hours away from execution. Clift, already a poetic ghost inside his grey death-clothes, and Taylor, nineteen and ravishing, sublimely fresh as lilac after rain. ~ Truman Capote
Film Composers quotes by Truman Capote
What has always been at the heart of film making was the value of a script. It was really the writer who could make or break a film. But as we all know, the writer has always been at the bottom of the creative heap. ~ Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
Film Composers quotes by Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
I can wait for film projects without having to do things to live. ~ Clemence Poesy
Film Composers quotes by Clemence Poesy
The craft of putting together a performance on film or television is incredibly intricate; you're putting together a story that is completely out of order, that you have to make some sense of, that you have to keep some coherence to the story, to the character. ~ Gabriel Mann
Film Composers quotes by Gabriel Mann
