In a bid to make shooting intimate scenes safe during the pandemic, BBC Drama’s boss has recommended “kissing through a sheet of perspex”.
A new set of guidelines was published last week by Directors UK, an organisation representing 7,500 screen directors, for filming scenes of intimacy during the pandemic.
Questions have arisen regarding the logistics of shooting intimate scenes while still complying with social distancing guidelines.
In Australia, long-running soap Neighbours was one of the first to resume filming, with actors required to stand 1.5 metres apart at all times and kissing banned.
