The respect for a musical score must come from the director... If the director has no power and has to surrender to budgetary constraints, this is where we have the problem.
Interpretation
A director's ability to honor a musical composition is hindered by financial limitations.
Ennio Morricone emphasizes the critical role of the director in interpreting and executing a musical score, suggesting that without the authority to make creative decisions, the director may struggle to deliver a compelling artistic vision. When budgetary constraints dictate the possibilities, the artistic quality and integrity of the music can suffer, leading to a disconnect between the score and the directed performance.
In practice
During a film industry panel discussing the challenges of independent filmmaking.
In music, what is very important is temporality of space and length, based on the breathing space the director gives the music within the film, by separating the music from various elements of reality, like noises, dialogues... That's how you treat music properly, but it doesn't always happen this way. Music is often blamed, but it's not its fault.
When I have to score a film, I watch the movie first and then start thinking about it. And from that moment on, it is as if I were pregnant. I then have to deliver the child, so from that moment on, I think always about the music - even when I go to the grocery store, I think about it.
I really like conducting my music in concerts because I'm convinced it's not just for films; it has its own life. It can live far away from the images of the movie.
There are some directors who actually fear the possible success of music. They fear that the audience or the critics will think the film has worked because there was a very good music score.
I often use the same harmonies as pop music because the complexity of what I do is elsewhere.
Everyone has to die. I'm not particularly scared about it. What really frightens me is that if I go before my wife, I will leave her alone, and vice versa. The ideal would be to die together.
I hear the singing of the lives of women. They clear mystery, the offering, and pride.
When we don't have all the details about our characters, we have to make it up to fill in all the details. So, for me, writing and acting go hand in hand.
The fun for me musically is that you never quite know what works and why. So why pretend you do? Why not just put things together and discover, in the creative process, if and why they work? That approach has served me well.
paraphrasing.."Science is the language of the intellect of society. Art is language of the entire human personality.
In order to describe a particular subculture, you might want to portray people who are typical or representative of that subculture; but to dramatize it, to make it an interesting setting for a story, you want to bring someone anomalous into that setting, to see how she conforms to it, and it to her.
I want to tell a story that makes the reader always want to see what will happen next.
