Harry Potter The Moives

As human beings, we are directed by our feelings and opinions. By nature, we speak and do things that are in accordance with what we've learned of the world. Some people can apply those feelings to the characters they portray in films, TV shows, and plays, and those that loose themselves in their characters become the best actors of all. If this sounds like you, read on.

Becoming an artist can be considered a profitable and exhilarating profession. You may even be able to make a living off of acting, though it is a very difficult and competitive industry, if the motion picture or theatrical production becomes a hit. At the same time, your viewers will learn from the role you have portrayed. If you're really good, the audience will be able to reproduce the sentiments presented in the show as they happen to be moved by the storyline. It is customary that viewers become emotional when watching films that are related to real-life experiences. Yet, if the narrative is inadequate and at the same the performances of the actors are substandard, the likelihood that the audience leaves the movie theater bored or disgusted is highly possible. This is why, if you're interested in acting, you should make sure it's right for you. Which means checking with a talent agency to see if you've got what it takes. Be wary, though: many agencies are just out for your money, so do research before signing any checks.

The story of a play or film is comprised of all the events in a plot. There are five parts of the plot, according to German dramatist Gustav Freytag. The first part is exposition (introduction of characters and setting), followed by rising action or conflict (problems arise), then the climax (the highest point of the story), and afterwards falling action (the turning point of the story), and then resolution (the conclusion, outcome or ending). The plot of many, maybe most stories, is about a hero fighting an enemy. Now the hero can be fighting a whole bunch of enemies such as monsters or zombies, a hostile family (say, the heroine's angry brothers), a crooked government, or the hero's own self.

In order to enhance their acting potential, all types of actors undertake series of performing workshops. In addition, they also need to develop their proficiency in singing, dancing and speaking. Some types of actors that become the most successful are considered multi-talented -- they can do it all. They get the jobs that few others can even think about pulling off.

It is also vital for all types of actors to work well with the other actors in the play or motion picture. This way the storyline can be expressed well to the audience, the world that is created can be realistic. Sometimes this world is made the most real not by the main characters, but by the supporting ones.

Then in addition, a great film or play requires a great setting or location. It can be a real one or artificially created just for the film. The quality of the props, costumes, backdrops and other paraphernalia used in the shooting is of great importance as these elements help create the world of the characters.

As with most of films or plays, the hero usually has an object of his strong desire or passion. This is the heroine's part of the story. The heroine can be a friend, a relative, or a lover. Most adventure stories would portray the heroine as a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued by her knight in shining armor. Nevertheless, there are those that portray a skillful hero partnered by an equally strong and equally powerful heroine.

Now all these elements, actors, directors, and staff could not work on something worthwhile unless there is a story or script worth filming or staging. The role of scriptwriters should therefore be emphasized. Without a great plot or story, there is no film or play to begin with. The message that actors and all the others want to communicate actually originates and resonates from the heart and mind of the scriptwriter.
