We might just as well be in a hotel room in London, or anywhere you like. So here is where we get it down on paper. That's why it's such nonsense to talk about locale. That doesn't mean anything to me. I would say, because I can get home at six o'clock for dinner.
Pure cinema is complementary pieces of film put together, like notes of music make a melody.
For example, in Rear Window, where Jimmy Stewart is thrown out of the window in the end, I just photographed that with feet, legs, arms, heads. I also photographed it from a distance, the complete action. There was no comparison between the two. There never is. And the other, of course, is the juxtaposition of imagery relating to the mind of the individual.
