This site will definitely help me. Communicating with actors is something i've never done. So We'll see!
Directing Technique #1: Before you roll camera on an actor, tell the
actor that, for everything his or her character says, there are five
other things his or her character could say but chooses not to say, and
to play those five other things
Jay Dufeal done a great job in his monolougue in building a character that wasn't already build for him. I need my actors to fill in the blanks that I don't, to create an organic product.
Directing Technique #2: Before you roll camera on an actor, tell the
actor that, right before the scene starts, and for the duration of the
scene, his or her character is having a premonition of what will happen
when the scene is over (the character will fall in love, or experience
heartbreak, or get revenge, etc.
Interesting take. It's worth a look in and definitely going into my book for when I shoot.
Before you roll camera on an actor, tell the actor to imagine that the
camera is someone standing across the street, observing his or her
character during the scene, and that his or her character is aware of
being observed but pretends not to notice
This will help in the context of my film definitely. Jimmy is becoming a ROADMAN and is constantly aware of people watching. He needs to feel like hes on the run somewhat, and if this mindset is instilled. He'll do just fine.
