You’re Hired to Do a Commercial - Part V

This is the last installment of five essentials to performing your Barbizon best in commercials or other acting roles:
The essentials are #1~ Wardrobe, #2~ Memorization, #3~ Shooting Day, #4~ The Shoot Begins! #5~ Working on the Set.

#5~ WORKING ON THE SET:

1. Be nice to everybody! Work hard, be friendly and respectful.
2. Try to learn what each of the crew members do.
3. Remember the one in charge is the Director. Any questions you have about staging or delivery should be aimed at the Director. This is an unspoken rule on the set so that the actor will not get conflicting information.
4. Be prepared: Some Directors are very nice. Some are not.

This concludes our segment on Commercials.
