Unlike traditional theater, film and video has the ability to really get inside an actor's performance. What can a director do to help them feel more secure, so they can give the best performance? How do you balance wide shots with tight shots, geography with emotion? What should you say as soon as a take is completed and who should you say it to? These questions and more are covered in this episode of the 2 Reel Guys. “Directing Actors for the Camera” – this week, on the 2 Reel Guys.
