ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the common practices associated with film production: art direction, working with actors, manipulating the camera, and set protocols and the roles of the director, producer, and art director. Here, their makeup is applied and their hair coifed to match a previous scene or the art director's design. If the hair is passable, the hairdresser should not say a word, but if it will cause an obvious continuity error, the hairdresser should inform the script supervisor, the DP, or even the director. The authors start off in a tight shot, Scotty takes out the wallet, she looks up, they start dollying and she starts moving. In the final film, they started the scene in wide and as he overshot the frame, the author cut to his DP's reframed shot. The video tap can be recorded to a laptop and a hard drive, enabling the take to be studied immediately afterward.
