Hard Slap

Other than the stars of a series or a movie, a drawing factor that keeps viewers hooked is the execution of physical scenes. Given that the usual formula of local teleseryes involves high emotions, a level of violence is often included. In the case of a project that has women characters, their rivalry escalates from fiery dialogue to slapping or even a fight scene.

To make slapping scenes believable, actors rehearse to avoid unnecessary hurt and if they can do it smoothly by cheating. Camera angles and good coordination can add to the believability of a slap.
Sometime ago, a social media post revealed the alleged sentiments of Female Talent (FT) over a scene with Another Talent (AT). The scene called for a slap coming from AT. FT prepared herself for the scene and was confident that the execution would be done well. Unfortunately, FT received a hard one and felt the slap was too real.

Apparently, that take was not just done once and even if FT said that the slap was already too hard, AT continued the same intensity. FT was agitated as her face was already bruised. In acting, professionalism is expected and FT can only calm herself down despite the pain.

‘The true mark of professionalism is the ability to respect everyone else for their styles and always find something positive in every dining experience and highlight it in your thoughts and words.’ − Johnny Iuzzini
