Document Summary
An art in which an actor uses imagination, intelligence, psychology, memory, vocal technique, facial expressions, body language, and an overall knowledge of the filmmaking process to realize, under the director"s guidance, the character created by the screenwriter. Audience interest: our interest in a movie is almost always sparked by the actors featured in it. Financial success: the power of some actors (jennifer lawrence or denzel washington) to draw an audience is frequently more important than any other factor. Stage actors play to the audience: screen actors play to the camera. Stage actors must project vocally and physically: small gestures are fundamental tools for the screen actor. Stage actors memorize their lines and then speak and act them in the story order: screen actors learn only the lines needed for the moment and act out of sequence. Persona: image of character and personality that we want to show the outside world.
