		Apted replied, "I always thought at the end of the day whether it's a documentary subject or an actor, the quality of what you do depends on the trust you build with the subject.
		Apted confessed that he has become caught up in many of their lives, just as many of them are caught up in his.

	Michael Apted
		Apted achieves a stunning tour de force in a long night exterior on the plateau, which vast as it is looks as if it were illuminated from a single light source, the moon being intended, and in fact looks exactly as if it were filmed on the moon entirely.
		The key to understanding the technique is in Apted’s superb direction of his child actress, and a great virtuosity revealed in a bit of editing during the car chase.
		Apted introduces a clumsy flashback to the premonitory instructions from her martial arts instructor against just such an eventuality, but the purpose or anyway the effect of it is merely to draw the cinematic interest away from the scene in itself and isolate the image of the raised boot over the supine woman.

	Michael Apted (Inspirations)
		For him, it was more a matter of spending time and hanging out with the subjects, getting to know them and winning their trust, but not necessarily in the context of the film-a process he goes through whether he is working with documentary subjects or actors in a drama.
		And while Apted sees his work as difficult, grueling, creative and collaborative, he does not consider what he does to be art in the traditional sense.
		Regardless of whether documentary is where his true passion lies, Michael Apted continues to strike a balance between the two and is currently involved in films of both genres.

		But Apted is an honest man. In his director's commentary for the DVD release of his film Enigma (2001), he lays out the realities of the movie business, at least as they apply to his journeyman's career.
		Apted was interested in setting the record straight and, perhaps, restoring a bit of glory to his native land's history in the process.
		In that vein, Apted says he was determined to cast a Brit in the lead role of crack code-breaker Tom Jericho.

		Michael Apted: You'd have to ask (Martha Coolidge), but what it seemed to me was that she was away a lot and she was doing this film which was taking her all over the place, and I just think she just felt that she couldn't give it the time that she wanted to give it.
		Apted: It is a credit that we own, and I want the directors guild to decide what they want to do with it.

	INTERVIEW: Michael Apted Goes from "7 Up" to 007
		Michael Apted: I just got a call from my agent, saying, "Would I be interested in it?" and I thought they were joking.
		They were seeing other directors -- they didn't have this flash and say "Apted has to do Bond." So I went to see them about it, and it became clear why they wanted a drama director -- as opposed to an action director -- to beef up the characters and the story.
		Apted: I don't know, I suppose it must have, because it's what I was brought up in.

	hackwriters.com - The Up Series - Dir Michael Apted - Dan Schneider on the UK Documentary series
		Apted, a mainstream director of such films as Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980), Gorillas In The Mist (1988), Thunderheart (1992), Nell (1994), the Tiamamen Square documentary Moving the Mountain (1994), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Enough (2002), has made The Up Series his filmic legacy.
		Apted learned the value of repetition- such as the trio of Jackie, Lynn, and Sue being seated left to right on a couch, to the point of becoming a trademark, as well the value of going in a new direction, although a little more variance would have helped.
		Most of this is due to Apted, for while everyone has a story, you need a great artist to tell it, and even when he errs in trying to foreshadow things, or tries to contrast rich Suzy with the working class girls, he never condescends to his subjects, nor his viewers.

		Apted covers these changes on the feature commentary (between test screenings and the advice of the book's author they made changes to preserve some of the mystery), but if you watch the deleted scenes without having listened to the commentary track, you'll be left wondering what went on in post-production for such drastic changes.
		The attack scene itself takes place entirely within the same room, and it's to director Apted's credit that this moment is so very tense even though all the director shows up are mathematicians who haven't slept for two days scribbling nonsense on pads of paper with pencils.
