Tartuffe 2.3

I am so happy Dorine chastised Mariane for being so stupid about the marriage! someone needed to say it to her. But she still plays the victim. She just rolls over and says "oh what can I do? I have to marry Tartuffe! How can I not? Oh woe is me!!" seriously? You can try something instead of acting like you have no power. Even when Dorine continues to yell at her, and tries to get her to take action, she refuses to do anything productive. When Dorine gives her advice,and spells out what she has to do, Mariane does nothing. Mariane's response is "well I will kill myself without Valere!" that's what you think of? Dorine even gets pissed, because that's not a solution. Finally Dorine has yelled at her so much she finally chooses to do something, and Dorine refuses to help, which is another comical moment. Eventually Dorine decides to help, and savethe marriage.

Today was our second to last day filming.I am extremely happy that were making progress.but at the same time I'm regretting how I "directed" the first few filming days. It bothers me that I didn't see these problems before the very end. Though I'm tryin to direct them by making them do the work, if that makes sense. I don't want to tell them what I want to see, but I try to manipulate situations, for example Ashley has to get scared by a teacher coming in the hallway, so to make her reactions more natural, I tried to change when the "teacher" (aka Miguel) screams at her. And I think it showed on film.
