When I write my own story, I use characters and milieus I am familiar with. I can deal with something I do not know at first hand only with the help of someone who does (Bibhutibhushan's village, Tarasankar's world of Zamindars/landlords, Tagore's Renaissance Bengal).
Sometimes, with a minimum of guidance, an actor provides me with exactly what I want. Sometimes I have to try and impose a precise manner, using the actor almost as a puppet. This is my inevitable method with children. Since it is the ultimate effect on the screen that matters, any method that helps to achieve the desired effect is valid.
