00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
When someone says “stop,” what should actually change?

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Use this practical five-step check.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
First, pause touch, movement, and recording.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Second, check action, camera, timing, audience—and consent.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Third, renegotiate. An earlier yes is not permission for every later version.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Fourth, make leaving real. Do not turn someone’s exit into another scene.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Fifth, before another take, ask if it is still a real choice.

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
A useful stop must be able to change the plan.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
