More small notes to directing

Week 9

2 ways of blocking actors:
* blocking actors to camera.
* blocking camera to actors' movements.

- be more demanding and explore how much deeper actors can go in rehearsals.
- get actors to work on bigger probs in rehearsal and not worry much about the smaller probs.

- "what does the actor want from the other actors?" and "how does the actor achieves it?"

- character actor is an actor who normally gets into the role of the character they are playing -> transforming themselves.
- lead actor is an actor who normally plays himself on set.
- make sure give 1st and last positions during rehearsals.
- learn to make things in depth -> foreground/background.
- use more verbs to help the actors understand better.
- reflect on the actors' experiences to anchor themselves to the scene.
- taste/hearing/visuals -> work on all the senses.
- try to rehearse with costumes to make the actors to be more 'absorbed' into the story.
- be more specific in terms of time/place.
- inject a little good in bad character even if there's no good ending... -> to keep audiences going on in the film.
