@TendrilsofTurmoil haha... I have feeling someone else directed this, not Judith Weston. The cutaway to the close-up of her book is a jumpcut. I noticed another jumpcut about half way through. Perhaps they are trying for a Godard-style edit in avertising for this book?

I consider myself an actor and I've been with a certain director, who would tell me I haven't got it in this scene. Why can't you do what you did before in the last scene?You had it then.

Have got her red book
-
Have you even shot a film of your own? Probably not...

@mikeysa got that right

Thank you for the tips.

This woman is brilliant. I have read both her books. She has changed how I communicate with actors (and my kids). The method she teaches removes confrontation between director/actor and opens a scene up to exploration.

dammit, Judith! You've convinced me to buy your books.
In all seriousness she knows what she's talking about. I think reading both of her books will help me out greatly.

you're more of a critic than a director
If you want to see improvement try helping the camera man out instead of slating his work.
If your actor gives a bad performance do you just constantly bash him or do you try to make him improve?
Respect is usually a good first step towards making a good film. Your crew need to respect you, they need to trust you.
You wont get that if you bash them

Judith you got my attention. Yes respect your actors and crew and lead them
in a constructive way to follow your vision with the movie you are filming.
