#improvise

In orthodox film-making, you never shoot sequentially - but with improv, obviously every move you make has a knock-on effect; it is a cumulative process. I have improvised, on the non-scripted 'Timecode.' It can become entirely indulgent: actors smashing crockery and competing verbally. ↗

No, improvising is wonderful. But, the thing is that you cannot improvise unless you know exactly what you're doing. ↗
