Getting in Character
The process of filming a movie or television series often resembles a theatrical production, involving extensive rehearsals before the director and actors are ready to shoot the scene for real. Rehearsals can vary, sometimes requiring actors to wear costumes, while other times they can remain in casual attire. In the case of Halle Berry, seen here rehearsing a scene for Catwoman while wearing the mask but otherwise dressed casually, it’s about understanding how the costume elements, like the mask, integrate with expressions and movements to create a convincing character.
In the world of filmmaking, rehearsal serves as a crucial step in ensuring that actors become comfortable with their roles and are fully prepared for the actual shoot. It allows them to experiment with their characters, fine-tune their performances, and make adjustments as needed. Whether in costume or not, these rehearsals are an essential part of the creative process, helping actors get into character and deliver compelling performances on screen.
