Filmmaking Wisdom from Agnès Varda

A film is not written by the screenplay or the dialogue…It’s written by the way of the filming, the choices that you have to make between still shot or traveling shot, color or black-and-white, speedy way of acting or slow-motion…All these choices, and the lens you choose, and the camera you choose, and then the editing, and then the music or not, and the mixing—all these choices all the way through the film.
