E120 - What is tone?

In this episode of The Directors' Take podcast, your hosts Oz Arshad and Marcus Anthony Thomas are joined by absolutely no-one. As filmmakers you may have heard someone mention tone in relation to yours or another directors' work and tone can be created instinctually because of past experience and taste or it can be more consciously crafted. Either way... we thought we would talk about it to outline exactly what it is and how you can think about it when producing your own work. This chat covers:

 

-Tone vs Mood, what's the difference?

-How do you create tone?

-We discuss tone coming from writing, referencing the scripts for Hereditary and Moonlight.

-Tone in prep, production & post-production referencing our films CUR:FEW and The Retreat.
