Lately, my interest in the acting and film business has been growing and growing. This is most likely due to the fact that I am a little bit more involved in fandom and watching more movies and shows. I've taken to criticizing performances and dissecting the appeal of a film/show. It makes being a fan more enjoyable, in my opinion. It makes the overall experience more valuable. Rather than just admiring the pretty, I'm trying do understand why it works and how it was put together.
There is so much that goes into making a production. I worked in stage crew all throughout high school, so I have a little bit of an idea of how it can be. But the film world is completely different. I would love to work on a set one day. There is so much attention to detail; every shot is planned, to the last prop on the wall. It's insanity. And that's not counting how many takes are required in order to get the shot that would make the final cut.
Film actors need to repeat scenes constantly while maintaining a high level of integrity and sincerity in their performance. It's amazing to me, realizing that the final product could have taken 20 takes. Acting requires total control of one's face and body, or at least an awareness of them. Moreover, imagination is key. And the ability to immerse onself emtionally, mentally, and physically into the life of a character and bring that character to life ( continued.... )
