Don't really know why this video came into my youtube's home page, but its really interesting how there are techniques to direct and enhance actor plays. Nice video!
Apparently you can use result directing but not use too much of it, according to the Directing Actors video course by Hollywood Camera Work. There are several chapters and explainations to grasp.
You're absolutely right-Result Directing is a common technique, and it can be effective when used in moderation. I actually find myself using it often as well. The main purpose of this video was to introduce new directors to alternative ways of working with their actors. Over the years, I've met many directors who struggle with communication and aren't aware that there are different techniques available to them. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel!
This is strictly a grey area bruh. It literally depends on the director's skill in communicating and how well is an actor in absorbing/ taking direction. U make it sound as if this technique will only only produce bad outcomes and nothing else. The outcome is not as formulaic as you're putting it.
Hey, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! You’re absolutely correct-this is definitely a grey area. One thing I always like to say when it comes to filmmaking is that these are not strict rules but rather guidelines. Another point I make often in my videos is that, at the end of the day, it’s up to the individual filmmaker to find the right solutions that work for them. There are definitely times when it’s perfectly fine to use Result Directing, particularly when a director might struggle with communication or when an actor is particularly good at taking direction. The reason I made this video was to provide new directors with a few other simple tools they can add to their toolkit. These tools are also really helpful for actors who are still developing their skills. Directors and actors who might be less experienced with communication or absorbing direction are exactly the target audience for this video. I appreciate your input and the chance to clarify this. Thanks again for engaging with the content!
He's just pointing out the potential flaws of this method. This is no doubt beneficial advice to be mindful of. "Depends on the director's skill in communicating" is precisely the kind of director that can use these guidelines to help further develop their communication skills. No one is saying to never ever do this.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment-I really appreciate it! And thanks for your feedback. Subtitles were incorporated into the channel after receiving a lot of requests in the early stages, but I understand that preferences can vary. We’ll definitely take your feedback into consideration and explore other options moving forward. Thanks again for your input and for supporting the channel!
@@filmindustrygatewayI did baked in subtitles for the Noir version of my short. Then I learned that you can add optional subtitles when uploading, so I did that for the colour version. I even managed to add a German translation of those subtitles. it's a great way of offering subtitles for those who need or want them. It's a bit more work initially, but at least your viewers can pick and choose.
@@TyroneBruinsmaFilmsI also think that - especially female characters - don't always need to bawl at full volume to show "woman crying". It can sometimes be more interesting to see the character keeping their sh*t together and not cry, because then we can see the struggle instead.

Thank you for the compliment and taking the time to watch. I appreciate you 🫶

I teach this similar tools (found in Judith Weston's seminal book) to my directing students - now I have found a video for it ;-)
Thanks for supporting the channel! Awesome to hear. I hope your students find the video useful 🫶
Brilliant!! Thank you🙏✨
No problem. Thank you for watching! I hope it helps 🫶

Please, we get the subtitle option for anyone who needs or wants it anyway, don't force it on everybody... uggh.

It's like when director Tim Story told Jessica Alba to "cry pretty" in her Fantastic Four film.
My goodness. Did that actually happen? I can just imagine how confusing that would’ve been for her. XD Thanks for sharing 🙌
@@filmindustrygateway Yes that happened and they ended up using a CGI tear. "Cry pretty"...sounds like an oxymoron

You're welcome!
