"I think anything is possible to anyone who dreams, dares, works and never gives up." - Xavier Dolan, Director of It's Only The End Of The World.

This week we looked at dialogue: text and subtext. We took a scene from another filmmakers script and rewrote it with particular attention paid to the tactics the characters used to try and achieve the ends of their opposing agendas. I tried a new technique, writing the intention/direction in parentheses above each line. Interesting stuff. 

Week two of the London Film Festival was just peachy. Highlights included Love Song, a subtle, sensual, semi-improvised film from the director of For Ellen, So Young Kim and It's Only the End of the World, directed by Xavier Dolan, with memorable performances from Marion Cotillard and Vincent Cassel. As with every film from that aggravatingly talented and youthful bastard, there were scenes that will stay with me always.

 Actors are always obliged to do their job with  flying colors. Aside frim the costume and production design, one of the main keys is the dialogue. If an actor did not review his lines before going to stage or standing in front of the camera, he will fail. It's okay to forget some parts of the line, but forgetting everything seems too much. Professionalism is very important factor when it comes to the world of entertainment industry!
