ABSTRACT

People have an incredible impact on a production. The face and the body language of a person communicate faster to an audience than any other method. Showing a close-up shot of the face quickly communicates the story as the actor expresses disgust, joy, sorrow, and seriousness. Many video productions totally rely on how well people perform in front of the camera. It is up to the director to get the best performance from the talent. The director must be able to communicate his or her vision for the program and keep the talent motivated and informed. Coaxing the best performance can be tough, but it is well worth it in the end.
