A exchanging ideas and lines they write a i a There a several rewrites before.the actors even read through' the script." Once the actors get the approved draft they read through it.

LaHendro add; ed that the actors also will exchange ideas. The director's first step with the show is a rehearsal known as "blocking." "This is when the actors and the director get together in the rehearsal hall and simply read through the script: As the-actors. read, the director must set up positions' a said LaHendro. The television director added that action" set up i the must be fluent and must have a reason. As a director.

LaHendro said he has. to keep in mind what the actions will look like on the set and that he must keep in mind what is "We use four cameras and three booms on the "Hot set. When we block the script I have to keep in mind where each camera and boom will'be and to have them in the right place to keep the a and the story moving fluently," explain- a "The camera shots are always changing. During a- hour program there can be as many as 250 different shots." According to LaHendro' it's very seldom when something happens during the taping which is i i i accepted. He added that when something uncalled 'for happens its usually not as funny as the written action.

LaHendro said with a slight smile that he often watches the shows which he directs. "After spending anywhere from 50 to 60 in a i th show, its nice to'see how the finished show turn's out."

LaHendro has directed a a a shows which he claimed were enjoable and a little easier than comedy. "You can be more flexible with a a there aren't as a restrictions with drama as there are with comedy." He also said that he would like to direct more drama programs in the future because it would be an extension of his creativity. a i i directors LaHendro advised: being patient. "You have to wait for the right place and the right time in order to succeed. And once you get there.you need patience to deal with every problem arising on the set from cameras to make-up.
