Semester 2 - Week One recap...

Recap of Week one...

Kym always remind us to find a stake in the presented script so as to develop it into a good film...without a strong interest in it is like shooting something without passion.

Relationship between Actor and Character:
- maintain eye contacts with fellow actors when in front of camera -> focus and to ignore the crew and etc...
- try no to block too much for actors to get maximum attention from the other party.
- Listen and react.
- Relax when acting -> be more free in their characters.

List of Mechanics:

1. Eyelines
2. Eye contacts / Don't blink
3. Movement (with size of shot)
4. Marks
5. Relax and free up (be themselves using the MAGIC word, "if")
6. Listen and reaction
7. Less more -> not over-acting
8. Focus / concentration -> put the actors well into their specific characters.
