Rehearsals
“To forego development prior to filming is to forego depth.”
The development of characters and building the thematic purpose lets the director and actors reach the deeper underlying meaning of the script. By meeting with the actors and developing their characters the director guides them into his vision. In the rehearsal stage it is key that everything is still in the development state. New ideas and input are essential, and most importantly, the chance for the actors to bring their unique outlook on the character you have cast them for. The director must be intuitive, looking for behaviour in the actors that resembles the behaviour he has imagined in the character.
