write this from the floor of my house. The computer is also on the ground. Like almost all my books, surrounded by fluff that appeared to move some furniture. Other furniture still in place. Few. The shelves will soon go to the terrace, covered with plastic. Art kids think are ugly, big and heavy. From now on I will look differently. At Art too.
like my records. They want a few covers in clear view. The LP of Marvin Gaye, that of Kraftwerk, the Magical Mystery Tour ... No IKEA lamps are cool. Well, I have two identical ...
Out: you destroy the scenery.
Fuck.
A carpet, cushions, here the record player ...
Thus would this character.
Damn, I what I have written. What I interpret. And direct. But I do not know how the hell would the books. Or discs.
few months ago I wrote a post on an interesting aspect of the relationship between literary text and film. He was saying that the image gives much more information than the word ... but also gives much less. That is, a description may indicate " Out fell a terrible storm. Thunder and lightning. Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. She was startled to hear the blows, which sounded like knocking on a wooden coffin. "
In this example I just made it up (do not look for the next novel), an image will give visual and audible information about the storm. Hear every drop of water. Also see the profile of the house that lights up with every flash and we can say if you have a pitched roof or not. We will see that there is a broken tile and the spout down the wall is visibly rusty. We will see the hand that knocks Seem woman? Do you wear a glove? Or see the room that echo the knocks and the delicate lace that adorns the dresser in the hall. We'll see the girl that trembles in the leather chair. We'll see her hair, her dress, the remains of an unfortunate cosmetic surgery has been the actress.
Instead, for good the sound man, however good the mix, almost no spectators will imagine the knock on the door sounds like knocking on a wooden coffin. Many even see the girl looking at the door but ... will draw even clear that he is scared. Sometimes it seems that language has the ability to generate images ... but the image is able to create sensations and environments, but no words or concepts beyond doubt.
Now, with art, I try to imagine what is not written. All that was left off when I wrote the script. If I go over the latest version would not find more than one paragraph dedicated to describing the protagonist's home. In these few sentences and, above all, the characteristics of the person living in this location, the Art deduct a lot of information that we writers can not (or should) be included in our work.
writers often think that everything is in the script. And so. But ... How difficult it is to read it right!
From the floor of my room, preguntádome what guys think about that poster art background of the woman's hair up and about to start a week of intermittent shooting, I ask sorry for these posts as egocentric, but I fear that for one to two weeks is all that you can tell. Hope you are interested in and can prove useful.
