what have i achieved from this unit?
i think this unit has been brilliant i have really enjoyed it but i have to admit i found it really hard to be honest i thought it would be easy but it isn't you have to have a lot of patients.i have leaned the difference between film and TV to stage acting THERE VERY DIFFERENT ..
i have gained a lot of experience and learned different techniques from this unit that i can use in the further future.i have also leaned how to not be embarrassed and just get on with it no matter how many people are watching around you.i did find it hard and abit stressful but that's only because if people arnt in or don't turn up it stops everybody else from doing scenes so you have to be in.also you have to keep calm because i learned that once one person is stressed they get everybody else stressed so JUST KEEP CALM!... i am happy with what i did in this unit it was a great experience and i leaned how to cope with doing it.i have also learned how the world of film and TV goes on and i have really enjoyed working with new people. but.... i am very afraid of what its going to look like on screen.

film and TV research
film and TV research
info for actors :)
film and TV actors have to have alot of Patience and have to be always focused.because they need to see that there is alot of important things about the costumes,set,props and the character also the other actors. but the problem is if they don't understand the importance of the technical things they wont be able to give the best performance.
big thing >> TIME IS MONEY PEOPLE!!
mucking up lots and laughing on camera while recording is wasting time and money.if you do make mistakes then just forget about it and start again this uses less film instead of going "omgg i cant believe that dammm" just say cut and start again.also when the scene has finished don't walk off and start talking stay still till the directer is happy and she/he say cut.
the crew
assistant of director - runs the set and helps.
camera operator- operate the camera for lots of different shots in scenes.
boom operator - operates the boom for the microphone.
actors- act
make-up,costume,runners,etc
sound mixer- record and monitors sound
shooting calls
director - action!
assistant director - were going for a take roll on sound
sound person sound rolling
sound technician - speed
camera technician - camera rolling
the camera
in film and TV the camera can shot in a range of different ways .the camera can be moved to different places during the shots eg hand held,Steadicam etc... the actor has to be aware of which camera is filming or they will just be looking the wrong way :L
the microphone
the microphones are usually held above the actors when there on set, they can be fixed but they use the booms more often because you can here the actors speak better.the microphones that are used in films are very sensitives so you don't need to use the vocal techniques what you use in theatre.
scene 5 - college day
scene 5 - college day
the scene
i found this scene to be the hardest. because it was in the common room with lots of people watching that we didn't know because well its the common room and people were on there break. we when thought it but the camra people kept says we weren't loud enough but we were it was just because the students were to loud because they were talking so we had to come in a different day and start everything again. but that wasn't what i found hard it was when we started again .
when we were doing the scene we kept making mistakes and laughing so we had to control or self's and constantrate but once you start you find it really hard to stop so we tuck a break and calmed down. i felt like this was really hard and you couldn't do this if it was a real job every time they film it costs alot of money :/ so we all calmed down and did it in the end :)
were there any problems?
the director said we had to talk louder which we did but people around us were talking so i found that hard to talk loud without sounding like we were shouting , also me and Chloe which were the two kinder side kicks of the boss we had to be more over the top like America girls. so we had to say like "OMG , im soooo jel! " it was very embarrassing to be honest but i guess that's acting :)
what went well?
well we got all the positioning right and we got plenty of bits from different angles.i think in the end its turn out to be ok to be honest so yer i did enjoy doing this scene in the end.

about the fantasy scenes
what was very different about this movie was this girl had her reality life but she also saw her life in fantasy which was very hard because of these fantasy scenes we had to get our make done like we where in a panto so we did all these scene sfirst because the make up people could only do it in the first week which was a good thing really because we could just get all them make up scenes done and out of the way then on the last 2 weeks we could concentrate on the reality scenes instead . it was alot of waiting around because the make ups where so over the top they tuck really long to do. i was one of the mean girls so i looked like an ugly sister :( i was gutted because it just looked stupid but i guess that was the point really.
in the fantasy prom scenes i found it really hard because we didn't talk so it was all about the facial expressions and i still had to be over the top so when we did these fantasy scenes it was like we where doing theatre because we had to act very over the top and we were dresses with silly make up and costumes.
<<< this was the make up we had done when we were in fantasy scenes .

how is film and tv acting different from theatre acting ?
how is film and TV acting different from theatre acting ?
film and TV acting very different from theatre acting in so many ways . firstly the Carma's pick everything up like your facial expressions and what little things your wearing like jewellery . it shows what habits and what the character does more because it has more closes and more focused. also everything has to be the same if you filming on different days the clothes the envorment around you your facial expressions,your gestures and the way you talk.. everything really because it picks everything up.a big thing is the positioning of the characters because you have to be in the same place every time you stop filming and then start again. and you cant improvise like you can on stage so you can do nothing that's not expected because the camera has to follow you so if you move some were were the Carma cant see you. also the positioning of the characters you have to do it all like its natural and natural gestures because its film and TV your not going to be over the top like you are in theatre. so when your in the moment it has to be realistic and convincing to the camera.
also in film and TV YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALOT OF PATIENCE'S! because you do alot of waiting around before you start shooting because they need to check everything is in place.
there are alot of things that are very different between these two acting styles but things are still similar like you still have to project your voice as the microphone picks up everything around it and you have to know who and what your character is and like. also there is still alot of preparation still has to be done when getting things ready.
