I deal with live video. and even content.
In recent weeks, I helped to write, shoot and broadcast a program on the Milan fashion week. We will not say which because it is not what matters. I'll tell you what happened instead, something more interesting.
I started producing full of arrogance and pedagogical intent.
It 's time to stop with the TV interview that the starlet, the tronista, vulgarity. I would have changed things, and how if I would have changed ... more depth, more reflection and even ... more culture! I would show it to him.
So I started with all these erroneous beliefs dear to the snobbish intelligentsia that the television network (and the viewer ...) should be educated, driven to use "high" ... even though I worked (very much) to be on TV young. I was convinced then that the young age I had prevented the revolution that now I was ready to fight. Mal
I regret it ...
How did it go then?
There 's been that I wanted to "educate" the tv and the tv has "educated" me. He brought to his
rhythms, its contents "natural" has taught me that people do not want to ask questions at all feel original, different, which is leading to profound reflections. rather, they want to be reassured with the usual questions. "What are the themes in your collection" "What materials did you use" "What do you think of the Milan fashion week and I even realized it's better that way.
What to look for in a wrong context (a fashion program in which the clothes matter) meaning high, is not only misplaced, but alas produce bad TV.
The program has begun to live its own life and he literally bent to their needs. I had long
interviews with the guidelines of the newspapers, many questions about the costume, consumption.
Of course I used them, but making them jump through hoops to get into the rhythm of trasmssione, which was a sequanza syncopated, backstage, fashion shows, interviews, flash designers and even parades.
I then fell into the usual mechanism presumptuous of those interviews, I searched through my questions to appear intelligent ... big mistake.
applications are used to make it look like intelligent people who do not answer questions. The result is to write things "autorispondenti" and who's in front of irritating ....
So the great lesson of humility television.
A program, has pace and timing issues that autoimpongono, search rivuluzionarne of modes and content is not only unrealistic, but it does not work either.
revolutions need to be done in art-house cinema, experimental programs, in places which are possible. A
Caporetto cultural / cathodic then? Not entirely, at the end.
In a program like the one I faced you can get small victories, humble, tough, and that move an inch up the bar of vulgarity.
I did so little battles. Paola Barale
not interview for instance, prefers the director of American Elle. Skip
melissa satta (former tissue) and ask for a stop to Maria Latella. I chose music
coated but not trivial. More Depeche Mode and then Bowie Lady Gaga.
Small movements in a kind word. That far from being a limitation, rather a challenge and a lesson on what the circumstances allow and what not. Uncomfortable
some great film, to explain its meaning. John Ford, Alfred Hichcock, would never have dreamed of defining artists or worse "revolutionary". If anything, craftsmen of their "kind", and the wester thriller.
Here, a little less ideological and craftsmanship have allowed me to get out more or less free and moderate satisfaction with the work done. The
plays? Come on do not think that really count for anything?
LA TV is like the mouth of the furnace of a steam train launched at full speed. It burns everything I throw in just to keep walking. And a minute after the broadcast, what you did and you seemed so important, it's just a puff of smoke on the Prairie.
