4.19 - Production, Day 2

Warm-Up (10 min)

POTd

QOTd: When is it OK to break the 4th wall?
VOTd:
Fourth Wall:
The fourth wall refers to the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled box set theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play. The presence of the fourth wall is an established convention of fiction and drama, which has led some artists to draw direct attention to it for dramatic or comedic effect. When this boundary is "broken", for example by an actor onstage speaking to the audience directly, or doing the same through the camera in a film or television program, it is called "breaking the fourth wall."

Quiet: Verbal cue to get ready to shoot. If you are recording with sound, you will want to make sure your actors can be heard.

Camera: Verbal cue to begin recording. It is good practice to begin recording 2-3 seconds before calling for “action.”

Action: Verbal cue to begin the action of the scene.

Cut: Verbal cue to stop the action of the scene. It is good practice to cut 2-3 seconds after the action of the shot is recorded.
