In this Film Courage video interview, Filmmaker John Gray explains how subtext is the unspoken but essential element in writing and acting. It involves what's truly happening in a scene, the genuine emotions and thoughts that are concealed behind the words and actions. As a director, the goal is to guide the subtext by identifying and understanding it, allowing the actors to portray the deeper layers of meaning.

Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO

Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post https://amzn.to/425k5rG

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - https://amzn.to/3WEuz0k

LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv
