Tips from the Director!

IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS

TIPS FROM A FILM DIRECTOR:

Directing a film is like a woman having a baby (I think) She's read all the books, took all the classes, learned to breathe,

and then when it comes time to deliver, they are never actually ready.

*Working with actors is one of the many, many roles for the director, The actor will need to develop some background, maybe

beyond what was given to him/her, both past and present for the character they are portraying.

*Actors should remember previous pages in the script, or scenes, to develop a sense of sequence. Movies are not filmed in

chronological order.

*Rehearse, play out the scene, (if possible) before filming.

*And 'stay focused'---Especially with relatively new actors, who many times have a tendency to wander, mentally. This can

be a travesty, for them and the budget. All actors must be on the same page, and I don't mean script page.

**** At this point each actor should have already proven themselves or truthfully they should not even be there. Period!
