Director: Hey Brody! You’ll be doing a lot of speaking today. I need you to pass instructions to Carla, the stunt artist.

Brody: Carla, the mast is about to fall down.

Director: Cut! Brody! It’s no good mumbling. Carla couldn’t hear what was about to happen.

Brody: Carla, you might want to move, they’re about to fire the cannon.

Director: Brody, if you whisper, Carla won’t be able to hear you!

Brody: SHARK! WALK THE PLANK! JUMP!

Director: Cut! She was meant to jump the other way! Brody, try not to shout, you’re making her nervous. And use words she’ll understand.

Brody: Get ready to jump.

Director: Nod to tell her when the crash mat is in place. Look at her facial expression, does she look worried?

Carla: Ahhhh!

Director: Cut! We’re going to need another stunt person.
