The Director for sure is the captain of the ship but it's only after visiting a couple of sets and also working in some educational shows on DD, I came to know that T.V. is quite different. It's too much hustle and bustle and a lot rests on the actor. The show I went for once, was a debate, we were told that before we start with our speech, we would be given a wriiten introduction, that we have to mug up and blurt out but till the last moment nothing came, we were only kids, still we were supposed to make up something there and then.....we were so nervous, but our teachers and the crew was cheering us so we pulled it off! So basically, a lot has to be done on the spot, it requires a different skill set. Especially with fiction, the kind of confidence and understanding of the character it requires, must be immense, plus they have to do it round the clock! A bad actor can never make it. Where as movies, from what I've read, are more organized, they have the freedom to work at their pace. That is why many of the B-town stars don't stand a chance in daily sops. Not because they're bad actors, they may be great , but cos they're script-dependent and might lack the spontaneity TV requires. As for the dialog delivery and acting, I genuinely feel that we have become accustomed to over-the-top sequences. I mean in real life, who will walk around, move their hands or care about their voice modulations while they're upset at their boyfriend?? One may call it underplay but this not pushing-too-hard attitude and realistic approach is what gives DLMH its natural and honest flavor for me. And if an actor can create impact without the melodrama, what more can we ask for?
