" I think Macca's Men has a poigniancy about it. This is because of my own directorial style - I like to make heartfelt stories. You get the feeling that this man is telling the truth and talking quite openly about his dreams and ambitions for this group of kids. At the end of the film we see that he actually works by himself in a football ground where there is nobody else there.
You can create this poigniancy with slightly sad music, or music which has emotion within it and adds something to the /images which you are watching. The tip here is that you need music to give a shot meaning sometimes. Without music we are never going to know what the director wants us to feel of the man sweeping. The director needs to use the music to lead the audience into feeling emotions.
At the end of Macca's Men, I wanted people to picture themselves inside his imagination. I tried to make it seem like there were a million people in the ground watching him and we were are all a part of the audience observing him. The music is a very important tool for getting this reflection across.
Music really helps if you are not getting something across in the performance and you feel a shot seems a bit dry. If you know somebody who can play the guitar, they could be a huge help because they could compose a melody with a simple sentiment that can really help to pull the emotions together. "

" The sad thing about video is that if the weather is not with you, the filming will come across flat and lifeless. The beautiful thing about Macca's Men was when I woke up that morning the sun was shining beautifully. People have said to me that the colour looks so saturated on this video and that it almost looks like it was made with cameras used for making feature films.
I think the lucky thing was, it was one of those rare days when we had completely blue sky for the whole day. However, I do think that modern digital cameras are now at a position to cope with bright light. Four or five years ago, cameras couldn't really cope with extreme bright light - they used to get very contrasty and burn out. But they seem to be getting a lot better now.
Although Macca's Men looks like it's had a special effect on it, it is actually sun light - which is something we very rarely see over here and that actually led to some fantastic results.
So, I guess the tip for making your film look bright and colourful is to wait until decent weather and light comes about because the quality can actually look 2/3 times better if you choose the right day to film. "

" Comedy is impossible to write. If you've seen something that makes you laugh, this is probably the most important link to comedy. People can't help laughing at something that somebody else is laughing at. It's infectious, especially if that person is creasing up. If you have seen something funny, you should try to emulate that with your writing, or film-making.
The chances are, that you are showing people how you see it, and if it's funny to you, it is likely to be make people laugh at the other end. Whereas, if you are trying to write a comedy that does not even make you laugh, then you are never going to make anybody laugh.
So I think the secret to writing comedy is putting it across in a way which you find funny yourself. It sounds simple but a lot of people do not do it. "
