ROB MARSHALL-AN AUTEURTo me its helpful when its a surreal space

or a slightly altered space so the audiences can digest the singing.

“There is something he does that combines choreography with costume, light characters ...he’s so great at piecing those things together.” Kate Hudson (American Fashion Designer in Nine)

ABOUT MARSHALL Born October 1960, Madison. As young children him and his sister would

make home movies. Soon became a talented dancer but this

career was cut short due to a back injury.

DIRECTING Annie was his first small screen film. Directing was the further thing from his mind.

“ film was the further thing from my mind, and the first time I was supposed to call the word action I couldn’t even do it because it felt so unnatural…so I just mumbled OK go.”

OPENING SEQUENCE

“ I’ve always imagined when I’m choreographing a number, or directing a number, what would it be

on film first. That’s my normal process for theatre. I’ve always done it via film and then I’ll create that for the stage. So now I don’t have to

do that!”

SOUND “ There is an energy and a pacing, and the

pacing exists in the scenes as well as the musical numbers.”

“He understands how to seamlessly integrate the elements of music, dance, storytelling, character, design and that’s part of what makes him so effective a director of musicals because he has that sense of when to really heighten something and when to pull it back in.”

NINE Here is a sequence from Nine where the

protagonist, Guido, performs his first musical number. The main elements that I thought

created a sense of place and character were;

Sound Lighting Cinematography•Movie reel coming to a stop.•Diegetic

•Blue stage lights•Low key •Artificial

•Extreme long shot

MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA“Transitions to me are very important in films because otherwise you feel the stop and starts of scenes and its important for me to at least try and attempt to find seamless ways of moving in and out of scenes.”

Marshall has shot through beads to create a sense of mystery.
