The Trap of Assumption

What is the trap of assumption? How can you deal with your assumptions?

The trap of assumption is to assume that others will have the same reaction to a certain work a you did. Something can be clear to one person and can be difficult to understand for someone else. At the end of the day, what someone feels is going to be different for everyone because a script is nothing more than a cumulation of words. Assuming that everyone's reaction to a piece will be the same is a trap that must be avoided when directing. The director will know how the scene will play out but it must be conscious that his assumption is right but the opinion ultimately do not matter. In the end, the only assumption that matter in the scene is the assumption of the character.
