Having gone through editing process, I can see that in actor's faces there's point where they're not managing their performance and that's, I think, the best place to be. You've done the homework, you've learned the lines, at that point you just sort of let it out.

In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.
