J’imagine une image qui soit le plus souvent possible très proche des comédiens, de leurs regards, de leurs gestes, de leur malaise ou de leur espoir. J’aimerais travailler avec des focales longues qui permettent une profondeur de champ courte, et qui font bien ressortir les visages au détriment des décors, des autres silhouettes ou de la figuration. Je vois un cadre fluide qui suive les personnages et leurs sentiments. Une caméra qui filme des fauves.

In the kind of context you have here, I believe the industry jargon is the only way to go — anything else, though technically accurate, sounds way out of place

long focal lengths
i.e. lenses with a long focal length (which tend to have a short depth of field giving the effect he's after).
