DP/30: The Fantastic Mr Fox, director Wes Anderson



5)

This will be a useful piece of evidence as it explains his process when approaching a film, explaining how the visual narrative style of the film is developed. For example, he immersed himself in the Roald Dahl world, writing the script at Dahl's house, and basing much of the mise en scene on Dahl's furniture and house, but also the setting of Fantastic Mr. Fox is inspired by the landscape surrounding his house too. However, he also discusses how he doesn't actively try and keep to a particular style, saying he simply does what he likes.

Notes on interview
  • Wrote script at Roald Dahl's house
  • Design of film comes from house and film (furniture in film based on furniture in his house)
  • Fox not wanting to lose contact with wild 
  • Just does what he likes in films, doesn't actively try to keep to his "style"
  • Different voice recording style-on location eg. if scene was outside, they recorded outside, enabled accidents and spontaneity 
  • edited script and added scenes as they went 
  • Can't start next film until current is completely finished and distributed everywhere
