Hribi(@Hribson):Tom Cruise tells every actor: spend time in the editing room and learn what Brando already knew about the lens “I always tell actors, spend time in the editing room. Produce a movie and really understand and study movies, study old movies, study new movies.” “Recognise what the composition is giving you, from comedy to drama. Know what those lenses are and know how to use it to your benefit and understand the lighting.” “You look at guys like Brando in The Godfather, he knew what Gordon Willis was doing. He absolutely understood the lighting and the lenses. And all the greats, they understand it.”
