Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Marc Webb talked about leaving the POV scenes out of The Amazing Spider-Man, grounding it in reality and more:
You've just got to feel it, and it's about pace, it's about tone and playing it a few times in front of an audience and refining those points. I was pretty cautious of trying to keep the pace as quick as possible and I wanted to do something more grounded emotionally; I wanted the actors to behave in a way that was more natural and that felt realistic and not stylized. And it's tricky to use the word "grounded" when you have a nine-foot lizard running around the streets of New York, but we had a real person there interacting with Andrew to create some gravity and reality. So there was a philosophy that went beyond just the acting and the emotions, and that was keeping a level of physical reality and emotional reality.

Need another reason to #savemarcwebb? Denis Leary did an interview with Vulture talking about one of the director's non-blockbuster on set techniques:
Originally when I was talking to [director] Marc [Webb], because I was wondering why he was making a giant blockbuster, he was telling me about how he wanted to do all this improvisation and character study, which they almost never do in these big-budget action movies. So a lot of the stuff in the movie, we would do the scripted version once, and then five, six, seven more takes where we could play around — which, again, is unheard of in these kinds of movies.
