Directing: working with actors

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

The director is the team captain: decides HOW a scene looks and helps actors play. Main rule — actors are people, not puppets.

●Bad: "Make a sad face" — the actor does not know what to feel
●Good: "You lost your favorite toy" — real sadness
●Rehearse first: play the scene 2-3 times off camera
●Praise after each take: "good, now let us try…"

Rehearsal solves 80% of problems: actors know lines and actions — the camera just records. Shoot at least 2 takes per scene: first "for safety", second usually best.

💡 Film "between takes" too: laughter and bloopers after "cut!" make the liveliest credits.
