Creating & Talking Tone with Your Team (Ep. 407)
Tone is probably the strongest element that defines a project and yet, surprisingly, is a topic that is frequently the least discussed on a feature film, pilot, or first season of a television show.\n\nDGA members interested in learning more about techniques for determining and subsequently communicating this ever elusive but critical aspect gathered in the Guild\u2019s Los Angeles theater for Special Projects Committee event, Creating & Talking Tone with Your Team. In a conversation moderated by Director Valerie Weiss, Directors Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris, Karyn Kusama and David O. Russell spoke about what has worked and not worked on their productions.\n\nIn the conversation, the panelists discuss how the topic of tone is implemented throughout their projects and shared their advice on how to achieve tone through music, casting, opening shots and much more.\n\nPlease note: spoilers are included.\n\nSee photos and a summary of this event below:\n\nhttps://dga.org/Events/2023/April2023/SP-CreatingNTalkingToneWithYourTeam-0323.aspx
