New York: “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan has described his filmmaking process as “some combination of intuition and geometry”.
“I don’t write a story outline,” Nolan told a packed house of festival-goers during the discussion with fellow director Bennett Miller, reports variety.com.
“Usually my answer right off the bat is that I work intuitively, but I draw a lot of diagrams when I work. I do a lot of thinking about etchings by Escher, for instance.
“That frees me, finding a mathematical model or a scientific model. I’ll draw pictures and diagrams that illustrate the movement or the rhythm than I’m after,” he said.
Nolan added that he always begins a film in an effort to find answers to interesting questions.
“It’s only as I get into it that I realize they were questions hanging over from the last film,” he said.
Nolan has directed highly acclaimed films like “Inception”, “The Dark Knight” trilogy and “Interstellar”.
