The Swear Box...



As you saw in The Gofer's post, he is looking forward to seeing me fill up the swearbox. Now, there is a reason I agreed to the swearbox, and it is not as a money spinner for the crew. It is to try and make me a better director. It is very easy to start shouting and swearing at the cast and crew for getting things wrong, but with a swearbox looming in the background (and 50p a pop), I actually have to be aware of what I am doing on set.

The swearbox also slows me down, but in a good way. It actually makes me think before I speak and before I act. It is god to shoot quickly, but sometimes, it is also necessary to shoot carefully...
