\\u201cOne thing you have to keep in mind is you still want to help tell the story. If somebody\'s standing in the kitchen and outside is a window that\'s really bright, you gotta be careful not to allow that to just blow out and overpower the scene. So it\'s a lot of shaping. You want to make sure the people aren\'t focusing on the window or the gardener outside. You\\u2019ve got to get the actress, who\'s standing in the kitchen, speaking. You gotta help to maintain that.\\u201d
