A Too-expected Image (cliché) Will Never Seem

The Eye Solicited Alone Makes The Ear Impatient, The Ear Solicited Alone Makes The Eye Impatient. Use These Impatiences. Power Of The Cinematographer Who Appeals To The Two Senses In A Governable Way. Against The Tactics Of Speed, Of Noise, Set Tactics Of Slowness, Of Silence.

For Me, Film-making Is Combining Images And Sounds Of Real Things In An Order That Makes Them Effective. What I Disapprove Of Is Photographing Things That Are Not Real. Sets And Actors Are Not Real.

When A Sound Can Replace An Image, Cut The Image Or Neutralize It. The Ear Goes More Towards The Within, The Eye Towards The Outer.

Nothing More Inelegant And Ineffective Than An Art Conceived In Another Art's Form.

Cinema, Radio, Television, Magazines Are A School Of Inattention: People Look Without Seeing, Listen In Without Hearing.
