camera test
On-film talent evaluation
A camera test is a trial recording to evaluate how someone or something appears on film or video.
Actors undergo camera tests to assess their screen presence, chemistry with co-stars, or suitability for a role.
Technical camera tests check lighting, makeup, costumes, or equipment before principal photography begins: They did a camera test to see how the prosthetics would read on screen.
