Improvisational Super 16

[Tenolian Bell]

"The actors were not given scripts. Instead a scene would be described and they were told their characters' intentions. Then they would improvise, and what was good was used in the film."

 

Interesting this is how the director of City of God described the process of making the film. Amazingly enough they were not professional actors and they improvised on while rolling super 16.

[Leon Rodriguez]

I wonder what the final shooting ratio was? Or if it was even determined beforehand? Sounds risky to me, but Hey, it's art!
