Summary
An Authoritative Training Manual for Film Actors and Teachers
“In today's entertainment industry of buff bodies and beautiful faces, it's easy to think that a couple of sit-ups and high cheek bones can create a movie legend,” writes film veteran Cathy Haase. However, she adds, what the actor really must have are “technique, craft, and a depth of self-knowledge.” In Acting for Film, Second Edition, Haase shows actors how to develop all of these, sharing her secrets (developed through years of on-camera work) for creating characters who come alive and who touch the souls of the audience.
Readers will learn how to apply theatrical training to film acting and hone a personal approach to rendering a character. Acting for Film, Second Edition, is an essential guide for aspiring performers, acting teachers, and anyone interested in gaining a greater understanding of the craft. This new edition includes:
- Advice on dealing with new technology including CGI and motion capture
- Concentration and relaxation exercises that will enhance facial expressiveness
- Exploration of sense memory techniques for on-camera work
- Animal exercises and their usages
- Tips for maintaining proper eye focus in front of the camera and conveying the “beats” of a scene, even in the shortest takes
