1. According to McKee, stories can be divided into three grand categories, according to their emotional charge. These are the Idealistic, Pessimistic, and the Ironic. While each fit unique structures and ways of conversing stories, do you think that the Ironic is the hardest to craft, and once crafted properly is the most masterly?
2. Do you think it is the directors job to constantly make sure the actor has an image in their mind when acting, or should he/she expect the actor to be capable of managing on their own?

I think it depends on the actor. Some actors do need the director to constantly remind them of what they are doing. However, I think this would weaken the film. If an actor needs to be constantly reminded, he takes time away from the director, time he or she could use to convey his or her vision onto the screen. I think, for the benefit of the actor and the director, it would be better if the actor could manage himself. However, that does not mean he cannot ask for help.

I think that it is beneficial to the film and everyone involved if the actor is able to have an image without too much direction. I also believe that if the actor is not able to do this, the director needs to be able to give the actor the motivation they need.
