That way, you can manipulate a character to the other side of the room. But, if they say the wrong thing, it might locate that action in a particular part of the scene. It’s a mechanical need.

In the morning, when it wakes up, it’s totally shocked to still be alive—so it sings this really beautiful song. Download This Image

I think that for ‘Good Will Hunting’ I had an Elliot Smith record or a couple of them and I just somehow felt like the sound had something to it that reminded me of the story. So in that case there was music beforehand.

It’s not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic.

They can all be variable as you like if you stick – however roughly – to the path.
