A lot of what I've read about directing actors says that it is important to let them inturpret the script the best way they feel is right rather than to tell them how to say each line and how to react to everything written.
I can understand that line of thought but I am currently preparing to start shooting a horror film where almost all the actors involved have little to no acting experience.
I dont want to come off trying to tell these people how to say every line of every page but I almost feel afraid that if I dont it would come out the way I want.
Does anyone have any similar experience to share how they handled?
The shoot will be for several weeks and I dont want to have these actors ripping thier hair out at me b/c Im telling them how to do everything but on the other hand I dont want to be ripping my hair out b/c they arent getting close to where I want to portryal of my script!
