In footage shown at the trial of the film's armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Mr Baldwin is also seen telling her to reload the gun more quickly.

She denies involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.

Mr Baldwin was holding the gun when it went off but has said he didn't pull the trigger. He has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

The actor, who was also a producer on the film Rust, is expected to face a separate trial in July.
