Directing Actors - 25th Anniversary Edition by Judith Weston Judith Pdf

Directing film or television is a high-stakes occupation. It captures your full attention at every moment, calling on you to commit every resource and stretch yourself to the limit; it's the white-water rafting of entertainment jobs. But for many directors, the excitement they feel about a new project tightens into anxiety when it comes to working with actors.In the years since the original edition of Directing Actors was published, the technical side of filmmaking has become much more easily accessible. Directors tell me that dealing with actors is the last frontier--the scariest part and the part they long for--the human part, the place where connection happens.Weston's books help directors scale the heights of the actor-director dynamic, learn the joys of collaborating with actors--and become an "actor's director."

A valuable read for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the 'controlled chaos' that is live television sports!" Curtis Saville Producer, Rogers Sportsnet _____ [Excerpt from Chapter 4] A script assistant provides a countdown to the top of the clock. "On air in 60, ...30, ...10 seconds to air." The director gives the standby to roll VTR gold and track tape. The script assistant continues, "In 5, 4, 3, 2..." The director gives the "roll gold" and "track gold" cue and the pre-recorded show tease and opening animation rolls to air. As the pre-taped opening ends the director provides crew instructions, "ready to go to camera 2, with graphics hot," meaning the graphics are in standby mode. "open their mics," "Pan 2," camera 2 begins a panoramic pan of the inside of the arena, "dissolve 2, fly the graphics" the technical director dissolves the sources and the graphics operator triggers the titles to fly onto the screen. The director cues the announcers to welcome the audience. You're ON THE AIR! The director opens a switch to speak to the announcers, "ready on camera," then to the rest of the crew "Ready Camera 6 on a 2-shot with a slight zoom - Zoom 6 - dissolve camera 6." The announcers introduce themselves to the audience and begin to provide details as to what will unfold over the course of the show. As the commentators make reference to key players, the director cuts between cameras which have been instructed to locate and provide images of these athletes. During the hour before the game, camera operators provided shots of various players warming up. These images were recorded by the videotape operators. A short edited montage or "bumper" was created to end this segment of the show. This is used to lead the audience to the first commercial break. The on-air talent is given the cue to wrap up their thoughts. The director continues with crew instructions, "ready to go to bumper from VTR blue with graphics hot for a blind reveal, ready to sneak in your music" the audio cue given to the A1. "Music in - roll blue and dissolve blue" to the technical director who mixes the sources. The graphic operator activates the lower third graphic revealing the names of the two teams. The announcers look at their court side TV monitor and add a voice-over to accompany the images being shown, ..".and we'll be right back with the opening line-ups after this short break..." _____ The feeling you receive from directing is akin to playing sports at a high level. When you're in the zone or when you're truly ON you feel like you're unstoppable. Your entire production crew will feel it too and feed off your enthusiasm. The buzz, the high, is a total rush that keeps you coming back for more. In the following pages you will learn the finer points of this exciting and challenging career path.

From Concept to Screen by Robert L. Benedetti Pdf

Written by an Emmy-award-winning producer and director, this book focuses on the underlying principles of film and television production, emphasizing the creative rather than the technical aspects. The book describes how a film is created - from conception to screen - and provides a comprehensive overview of the entire production process. Not intended as a "how-to" book, this book presents only a limited amount of detailed technical information. Instead, it emphasizes the underlying principles and processes of primarily four kinds of films: feature, independently financed, made-for-network-television, and made-for-cable movies. For anyone interested in writing, directing, producing or acting for film/TV.
