Six Principles by Donal Foreman
These 'six principles', devised by Donal Foreman, could stand as a succinct creative manifesto for my filmmaking as much as for his.
1. The distinction between fiction and documentary is meaningless.
2. Each image is a singular event.
3. The camera is always part of the scene.
4. Cinema is a dialogue between will and reality.
5. Be, don't illustrate.
6. "In narrative cinema---and all cinema is narrative to some degree---it is the type of image produced that determines the narrative, not the reverse." --Raul Ruiz
