Although Kate often made mistakes during the long shots, the movie was not composed entirely of them, so after some bumbling through those scenes, she finally came through.
In these shorter shots, Kate performed well. Being from the United Kingdom and having read the novels before, she had a fairly accurate grasp of the characters. Of course, she couldn't compare to experienced actors like Hopkins and Thompson; while she had her moments when acting with others, she was completely overshadowed when acting alongside those two.
However, Kate didn't dwell on this and continued to work hard. Moreover, Adrian maintained excellent control over the pacing of the shoot. He had every frame drawn on paper—even if just with simple lines—and would explain them in detail to the actors before filming. He managed to keep this up without any breaks.
