I Really Started Dreaming : The World Of Film, Television, And Theatre

What were Edwin S. Porter's significant contributions to the development of early narrative film? In what sense did Porter build upon the innovations of contemporaneous filmmakers, and for what purposes?

As an experienced Actor, Director, Choreographer of many-a-year and stage show for that matter, I’ve utilized the past 5 years in theater as more of a personal mission to learn more about the theater processes and procedures and determine the key components that help a particular show achieve success.

In this day and age, a plentitude of young people crave the "fast track" to fame and fortune, and this means that they often seek jobs within the entertainemnt community. Without any difficulty, they expect to become an "overnight" success because they are, by their own admission, so "cool." Thankfully, there are young actors like Sidney Grigg, who are willing to invest the time and resources required to ensure longevity and eventual success. In Sidney's case, she has had some tremendous experiences already, and recently she related some of those stories to me as she explained how she began in this business and even how she keeps herself motivated and grounded in a career that requires intense fortitude.

“Talent” is not like a requirement for us to become a supposedly important person because we are, just in a different way. We have our own individual importance and as we have that on our own, we also passed through experiences in a different way. Sometimes slower, sometimes faster but that doesn’t mean we won’t be what we are encouraged to be. Passing through the experience to read this chapter gives more opportunity to deeply get a knowledge of what passing through acting experience can

Actor Michael Caine’s biography imparts impressive, but comprehensible knowledge onto his readers. Unlike, other books on acting methods, Caine’s writing puts acting tips into relatable and oftentimes humorous terms. Not to diminish Stanislavsky or Hagen, but Caine’s writing acts as a fundamental meat and potatoes manual to which any theatrical student can relate. Caine focuses little on the proper pedagogy of acting theory. Instead, he simply shares the tips he has accumulated over the years on how to perform well not only on screen, but also off screen. The book specifically lends itself to actors, like myself, who are learning the crucial differences between the two mediums: theatre and film. Caine understands the mental leap required for

Acting in front of the camera is a common dream for most of us, even little kids, whether they admit it or not. There’s something enticing about the world of the popular that makes this job one of the most coveted. We get it, not everyone can claim a place in this glamorous field of work, but it doesn’t mean that the dream is impossible. Have that childhood dream comes true even for a day by touring in one of the most famous studios in the world – Universal Studios Hollywood.

What if I never saw the movie Jaws? Would I still feel the same way about sharks and the ocean? These are some of the questions I feel a lot of people can ask themselves after they have seen Jaws. What does this mean? Can the shark in Jaws represent or symbolize something more than just being a hungry shark?

According to (Cook, 2007, p.111) Stardom is a person or an image with particular characteristics (talent, beauty, glamour, charisma) but with a complex set of cultural processes. This come to reason why producer take time and search for a well know actor that have all it take and charisma when producing a film.

I interned for the Center for Film, Media, and Popular Culture from January to April. I interned for the entire semester, four hours a week. At times, there would be events, so I would intern for more hours on those days. If there was an event, I would intern one hour at the office, and two to three hours at the event. My experience at the Center wasn’t very eventful, but it did provide me with knowledge that I will take with me wherever I go.

Ina highly competitive profession like acting , one must never underestimate the importance of professional and formal training. Irrespective of whether you excel or have a unique flair in this art , there are a variety of techniques , perspectives , methods etc that could help you when you embark into theatre and films. While training to become an an actor doesn’t necessarily require a degree from a college or professional learning, many of the best actors in world cinema have grown to be well rounded and highly benefitted from their professional courses. The whole concept of acting will usually comprise of 2/3rd natural talent and 1/3rd of training Also the physical location of the place is crucial because it determines the connections

Growing up, my family established in me a love for media in the film industry early on. Being an only child, we would watch movies together all the time. It became a tradition to watch movies together, whether they are Disney movies or some random film that no one’s ever heard of before that my dad found on TV. The film industry has always been a gateway to another world for me, and I have always enjoyed sitting down by myself or with a group of people and watching a good movie. The movies The Sound of Music, High School Musical, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone have all had a significant impact on my life and most accurately describe who I am today.

As a teenager, I would sit and watch the Oprah show, dreaming of the day I had my own show. Completing a degree in Mass Communication and Media, was in my mind, a sure ticket to stardom on TV. I remember the day I went live with my first broadcast from our college TV station being full of nerves, excitement and fear of how I appeared on camera! (Just a side note: eyeliner applied wrong can be frightening on camera!) However, I pushed that “makeup fear” down and continued broadcasting each week. That was years ago and maybe like other entrepreneurs, you’ve had that same dream while watching Oprah or another talk show.

There are many musical theatre characters that resemble: Summer from School of Rock, Marcy from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, but I see myself the most in Frank Abagnale, a con artist in Catch Me If You Can. Frank spends the course of the show pretending to be someone else, finding jobs that he has no qualifications for. He passes the bar exam without going to law school, becomes a pilot without flying experience and works as a doctor without any medical knowledge. Like Frank, I often pretend to be another person and I end up being successful even though I should not be. Unlike Frank, my pastime is a bit more legal: theatre. I auditioned for my first show in August of 2009 and in that moment, my life changed.

The Acting profession is not just for any ordinary person, it is only for the elite and exemplary individuals that standout from the rest. It takes consistency, dedication, education, creativity, open mindedness, captivating ability, true commitment, insight, the ability to use intelligence in a way to make a character become three dimensional, good physical skills, professionalism, talent, time management, and vanity to improve oneself. This profession is extremely selective and competitive, particularly when considering openings in Broadway. These characteristics collectively form an actor/actress that is relatable to the audience and is easy to grasp. Acting is either hit or miss, you’re either a knockout or nobody. When considering the positive and negatives to acting, I believe that acting is a good profession. Acting is a career that takes effort and hard work to become successful like anything else. For many people, acting is their lifelong dream and gives their life meaning as well. Acting is used as a coping mechanism, freedom of expression, a sense of identity, a source of expressing feelings, passion, and a way of explaining your story without using your own name. In all, acting holds a different sense of meaning for every single person. The reason they chose the profession, in many times has a meaningful story that only they can understand. A profession is defined by the person. A good person makes a profession a success. A bad person makes a profession a

Movies have been around for over a century. Movies have been huge success since they came out. People have always been interested and fascinated with movies. People love the idea of pictures moving. Another name for the movies is actually motion pictures. Movies are one of the biggest Industry in the world. Movies make billions and billions of dollars a year. At first movies was just silent films. These films showed them doing scenes then they would have what the actor/actress said with writing. Then they would put the words that the actress said on the screen. Then eventually they had sound, but was still in black and white. Eventually color movies came out, but the picture was ugly and was nowhere near the color movies today. Now they have movies that look like you are there. The movies today pictures are the best they ever been. There are even 3D movies that look like it actually coming out of the screen. When 3D movies first came out, the picture was horrible and nobody liked them. The movies had these weird glasses, where one side had a blue lenses and the other side had red lenses. Then James Cameron made the movie Avatar that completely change the 3D movies. Today 3D movies still gave glasses, but they look like sunglasses. James Cameron is even trying to make 3D movies that will not even need glasses. Now almost all movies being release today now have a 3D movie version. Movies have been changing since they was invented. Movies today are nothing like the movies when
