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.
