As the shooting began officially, Charlotte Cooper faced the camera, brewing her emotions for a while before taking a deep breath.
This scene was a crying scene for Charlotte, requiring numerous emotional outbursts; if not handled well, it might ruin the scene altogether.
When she first saw the script for this scene, Charlotte was shocked. Simply a few lines needed to perfectly convey the character's emotions, which was an immense test for an actor.
In fact, Charlotte had prepared a lot before shooting this scene. She was afraid that she might not be able to cry or that her emotions would not be full enough, making the scene look fake.
Many actors have been criticized by audiences because their crying scenes were unconvincing, making it one of the most difficult scenes to perform.
That's why Charlotte took this scene so seriously, hoping to show her best side while performing it well.
