A camera test is an important and very useful tool. It enables the director to see what the actors look like on screen and whether they express what the director wants to achive. People appear differently on camera then they do in person; some people who may have the exact look the director wants but don't look right on camera.
Another positive about the camera test is that it allows the director to know how well the actors take direction. If the actors do not listen to direction they are told or appear awkward and shy the director may consider replacing them.
For our camera test we recorded the cast talking and laughing and shot them at all angels, (front, side and back). The girls we camera tested for our video I feel were a sucsess. They took direction well, but also had fun and enjoyed it which came across on film.
Unfortunatley, I could not upload the camera test as it was deleted from the system before I could upload it onto Youtube.
