I think it was helpful in giving us an idea of what needs to be organized before we can even begin to work with actors, such as having the set and lighting completely set up before you call the actors in, thinking about the duration of the scenes and the shoot day, make sure there is a progression of emotion and don't allow time for disinterest.
It also helped to explain how to conduct proper character development so that we can give our actors a proper sense of the character they will be playing.
- give context as to why a character is acting a certain way
- give understanding of the character in the bigger picture
- order of priority regarding emotions
- length of the scene
- attention to detail
