Book excerpt: Excerpt from Screen Acting: Its Requirements and Rewards T is difficult to step from behind the motion pic ture screen and tell those who have always sat in front of it how and why we who make pic tures do the things we do. It is even harder to tell those who want to become one of us, how they may do so, as it is hard, always, to put the telling of things in the place of actual experience. What can be done in this way, I feel that this book can do, for I know its authors, and am assured of their knowledge of their subject and their sincerity in pre senting it. There is only one place where a motion picture actor can develop his art, and that is in a motion picture studio. But many a person who sees only the glamor of the work and knows nothing of the hardships it entails can learn much by reading all that he can obtain on the subject. In that way he can get an idea of whether or not he is suited to this profession. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Screen Acting written by Peter Kramer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While not everyone would agree with Alfred Hitchcock's notorious remark that 'actors are cattle', there is little understanding of the work film actors do. Yet audience enthusiasm for, or dislike of, actors and their style of performance is a crucial part of the film-going experience. Screen Acting discusses the development of film acting, from the stylisation of the silent era, through the naturalism of Lee Strasberg's 'Method', to Mike Leigh's use of improvisation. The contributors to this innovative volume explore the philosophies which have influenced acting in the movies and analyse the styles and techniques of individual filmmakers and performers, including Bette Davis, James Mason, Susan Sarandon and Morgan Freeman. There are also interviews with working actors: Ian Richardson discusses the relationship between theatre, film and television acting; Claire Rushbrook and Ron Cook discuss theri work with Mike Leigh, and Helen Shaver discusses her work with the critic Susan Knobloch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Film and Theatre This book has been written equally in the service of the theatre and in that of the film. Now that the first excite ment attendant upon the cinema's growth has passed away, there seems to have come a time when we ought to pause and consider the position which the theatre must occupy during the years immediately to follow, in the midst of conditions essentially divergent from those prevailing three decades ago. During the course of those thirty years the film has slowly and with infinite labour been discovering its true field of expression. The more strenuous tasks com plered, we have just arrived at a period when this field can be analysed calmly and its value assessed, when, too, it is possible, by comparison with cinematic aims, to clarify and determine the essentials, aims and methods which it seems the theatre's business to pursue.

Download or read book Maude Adams written by Ernest Haskell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romantic tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is perhaps William Shakespeare's most famous play. It has been interpreted in countless adaptations for both stage and screen. If you are yet to read the actual text, or are interested in Shakespearian studies, this edition is a good place to start, as it includes illustrations of famous scenes by Ambrielle and presents the play in full. Romeo and Juliet is the classic tale of star-crossed young love. The teenagers hail from rival families in Verona, the Montagues and Capulets, who naturally do not approve of the relationship. They fall in love and are forced to overcome hurdles and traps set by the warring families. The two are determined to be together against all odds and upon reaching the end of the play, it is fully apparent why Romeo and Juliet is classified as one of Shakespeare's great tragedies. The play has several timeless elements, such as: the allure of love at first sight; challenging authority figures; the flight from one's parents and into adulthood; the passage of time; and the role of destiny. The meaning of the play changes according to what stage of life the reader is when they read it. This is especially true in its descriptions of love- Is love merely physical attraction? Is love just a legal contract? Is love mostly about romance? How can you know if love is true? - are just some of the questions reading this play is likely to raise. Shakespeare presents these questions but gives no clear answer, leaving it to the reader to meditate on the meaning of love and life itself. Reading the play in its original form is a great way fully experience these themes as Shakespeare intended. Romeo and Juliet is a play that everyone should read at least once in their lives. This is not to be missed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Making Movies written by Sidney Lumet and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a director choose a particular script? What must they do in order to keep actors fresh and truthful through take after take of a single scene? How do you stage a shootout—involving more than one hundred extras and three colliding taxis—in the heart of New York’s diamond district? What does it take to keep the studio honchos happy? From the first rehearsal to the final screening, Making Movies is a master’s take, delivered with clarity, candor, and a wealth of anecdote. For in this book, Sidney Lumet, one of our most consistently acclaimed directors, gives us both a professional memoir and a definitive guide to the art, craft, and business of the motion picture. Drawing on forty years of experience on movies that range from Long Day’s Journey into Night to Network and The Verdict—and with such stars as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino—Lumet explains how painstaking labor and inspired split-second decisions can result in two hours of screen magic.
Book Synopsis Movies for TV (Classic Reprint) by : John H. Battison
Download or read book Movies for TV (Classic Reprint) written by John H. Battison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-06 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Movies for Tv For most stations in the situation assumed in the foregoing paragraph, live production using many actors in the cast may not be possible on any great scale owing to talent costs. Rehearsal time alone is Often a big factor in the total figure, and perhaps even $500 would be too high for a thirty-minute Show on a sustaining basis. The one-shot nature of television ensures that once the telecast is over the money is forever gone, and only a log entry exists to Show what was got for it. Kinescoping recording is out, unless there is a service available, and that is most unlikely in the size of town we are discussing. Also, the high cost of such equipment precludes the station's installing it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Opportunities in the Motion Picture Industry, Vol. 3 written by Photoplay Research Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opportunities in the Motion Picture Industry, Vol. 3: And How to Qualify for Positions in Its Many Branches There are, of course, some actors and actresses so versatile that they can enact any type of role, but most of them specialize in some particular sort of characterization. And why not? 'all other art forms are expressed in a variety of ways; one artist specializes in etchings, another uses pastels and a third will devote his time to portraits in oils. Each has, of course, mastered the technique and he could work with other media, but he is at his best when using that one with which he has specialized. So it is with acting, and particularly acting for the screen. It is needless to mention the fact that the screen demands a great deal more from its recruits than does the stage. But this bugaboo has been greatly exaggerated, and has discouraged many persons who possess real talent. The amateur, and particularly the woman, does not often realize the extent of her ability. The urge for expres sion is there, and the desire to act. Often her greatest asset lies in some little peculiarity that she has constantly bewailed.
