HOW TO BECOME GREAT IN THE INDUSTRY

The 10 Commandments of Being a Good Actor

By G net group

Last week, my doctor ordered me to lose 20 pounds. I offered to drop 10 and not a pound more. He smirked and told me to bend over.
What can I say? This kid loves Christmas and all the sugar that comes with it. But as we all know, there’s a price to pay when we indulge our addictions. So the time has come for me to address all the extra fat that’s hanging over my belt.
I started yesterday by hiking up to the Hollywood sign. A steep climb at a steady pace is a great way to burn calories. It sure beats running on a treadmill like a hamster in a cage. But a funny thing happened on my way up the mountain.
I had a religious experience.
As I was approaching the sign, the sun vanished behind unexpected clouds. I suddenly found myself surrounded by rain and lightning. And then the ground started to shake. I fell to my knees. I prayed. And that’s when I heard the Voice.
If you search online, you’ll find cell phone footage of me taken by other hikers. The clips show yours truly coming down from Mount Lee, my hair a frosty white, holding two stone tablets.
I believe the Gods of Hollywood chose me to deliver their lesson because of my weekly pulpit right here in Backstage. They knew I had the power to reach thousands of actors. So to honor their wishes, I now present you with the Ten Commandments of Being a Good Actor:
I. Thou Shalt Not Settle
Too many actors settle for being good when they have the potential to be great.
II. Thou Shalt Not Lose Track of the Big Picture
Actors tend to fixate on short-term details, like finding a good agent and getting the perfect headshot. That’s fine, but the career path you choose will be determined by your long-term goals.
III. Thou Shalt Learn How to Network
Knowing how to meet and interact with industry professionals is an essential skill.
IV. Thou Shalt Be Realistic
When you’re just starting out and you don’t have many credits, don’t ask your agent to get you an audition for the lead in a network pilot. There’s nothing wrong with aiming high, but you can’t lose yourself in the clouds.
V. Thou Shalt Learn to Shut Up
Actors spend way too much time listening to the sound of their own voice. Try keeping quiet every now and then, especially when you’re talking to people in the industry. Who knows? You might actually learn something.
VI. Thou Shalt Question the Source
Don’t believe everything you hear. You know the actor in class who’s half as talented as you but claims he booked a pilot? He’s lying. The guy’s actually doing a Web series that his girlfriend is financing with the money she made dancing at Crazy Horse.
VII. Thou Shalt Learn to Say No
You don’t have to jump on every opportunity that comes your way. I’m talking about the manager who lives out of his car and wants to sign you. I’m also talking about that nonunion film that expects you to perform full frontal nudity.
VIII. Thou Shalt Take Chances
You took a huge risk when you decided to become an actor. So why not keep that daredevil spirit alive as you pursue your career?
IX. Thou Shalt Be Mentally Healthy
Rejections aren’t personal. Your ego doesn’t control your life. And strangers do not have the power to crush your dreams. (Only you can do that.)
X. Thou Shalt Get a Life
Never put life on hold for your career. If acting is based on life experience, how can you be a great actor when you have no life?

1
Buy a Camera. Go to a local electronics store, and ask to see their selection of video cameras or camcorders. There are many different cameras to choose from, and it is easy to buy an affordable camera that takes high-quality film but try to get the best. Visit stores like Target, WalMart, Radio Shack, or Best Buy to choose a camera. Try not to buy the most expensive camera on the market, especially when you are not yet sure if you would like to pursue film-making. If you would like to start small, flip video cameras are affordable and take nice quality videos.

If you have an smartphone with a good camera use it as your camera.

Remember, the content of the video matters more than what brand of camera you use.

Start Your Film Crew. While it is possible to make good videos by yourself, film-making can be much more fun if you have a "crew" of friends to film with. Try to get friends together who are also interested in film-making, and assign each crew member a job. The production of your film will go much more smoothly if you have a person assigned to the following: -Camera Man (1-2): This is the person who films the movie. They should have prior experience using a video camera, and be able to film from different interesting angles. -Producer (Script-Writer) (2+): This person or team gets together to decide on what the film will be about. They must write lines for every character and make sure the script has a beginning, climax, and resolution. -Director (1): This person makes sure the actors are realistically pulling the script together and showing the proper emotions at all times. -Actors (2+): This person or team uses proper emotions and actions to describe their characters' feelings. They are able to become the person they are portraying, no matter how different the character is from the actor's personality. -Stage Manager/Costume Coordinator (2+): This team works to make all scenes being filmed come to life. They work on props for the scene as well as the actors' costumes and makeup. -Technical Producer (1-2): This person works hard after the filming is completed. They are in charge of editing the film for content, as well as adding special effects and music when necessary.

Retrieve Your Materials. Most likely, your film will have at least one prop or costume. Craft stores and Halloween stores such as Party City will have a wide selection of props and interesting costumes to choose from. Applying dramatic makeup to actors will also add effect, and that can be purchased as well. When in doubt, check to see if you have any props at home. If your budget is small, you may find that you can work with very little of what you already have and still make an excellent film.

Pick a Location. If you would like to film different scenes in different areas, that is fine, but you will most likely have one central location where much of the movie takes place. Find a wide open area indoors or outdoors, depending on what is appropriate. Try to film in a location that has a power source to charge the video camera and other electronic items being used. Make sure your location is not on private property; pick someplace you know you are allowed to film.

Film Your Movie. Pick a nice day when your crew can arrive at the set location. Take your time; your film will most likely come out better if you are not rushing and spend time working with your actors to show the correct emotions throughout the film.
8
Have Fun. This is the most important step because if you do not have fun, it will come across in your film. Laugh at your bloopers, and take breaks if you need them. Remember why you are filming in the first place: you love making movies. Do it for the fun, not the fame.

Can I tell my members to pay money when I need backing on a movie project? Answered by wikiHow Contributor
If you are just starting out, you need to build a following before expecting people to invest in you. If you have a good enough idea, you may be able to present it to your members along with a plan of action for how you will carry out your vision, and you may be able to drum up some support.

Can I be a filmmaker if the only places I can film are my house and a family member's house? Answered by wikiHow Contributor
Yes, use what you have and don't worry about what you don't have. Write a movie that is character driven with lots of dialogue, then it won't matter where you're shooting.

Pick a topic you are interested in! You are more likely to enjoy making a film about something you know a lot about rather than something you know very little about.

If you become successful in your city, try selling copies of your films to businesses and tourists. They may love your films and spread the word about your crew!

If you would like to name your crew, come up with a name that is catchy. If people remember it, they will repeat it.

If you put on too much makeup, it will not look as good on the camera view. Use just enough to be visible on camera, but do not make your actors look like clowns.

DSLRs such as the Canon 650d are a good option as they are cheaper than HD camcorders but still offer full HD 1080p, you can easily achieve a shallow depth of field and you can change lenses.

Test the makeup on your actors before using it on their face. Test for allergies or irritation. If this occurs, do not use the makeup.

If driving in a car in your film, do not drive past somewhere where they do not want to draw people, or you will have to blur the background image.

 

BECOMING A GOOD PRODUCER IN FILM MAKING TIPS

BECOMIN A GOOD PRODUCER

Just as entrepreneurs need to determine what kind of business they want to start, film producers have to determine what kind of film they want to produce. A common source for a film is a novel, short story, or screenplay. The producer’s job at this stage is to secure the rights of the story from the author and to negotiate any demands the author may present.

Preparing A Script And Finding A Director

A story is rarely ready to be made into a film, so the producer has to find a screenwriter to turn the story into something filmable. The producer also has to find a director to realize the screenplay and guide actors through the filming process. The director has a significant impact on the tone of the film.

Given the same script, Tim Burton and Steven Spielberg will create two different movies.

Consider Financing

Producing a film from start to finish requires enormous resources, so one of the key duties of a producer is to secure funding from a film. Usually, funding is secured from a large studio, but some high-powered producers finance their own films. In the past few years, crowdfunding on sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo has become another way to fund a movie. For example, the movie Veronica Mars received over $5 million from its Kickstarter project.

Begin Casting

Generally the last step before a movie begins filming, actors are auditioned and cast. A producer is not necessarily involved in this step.

Start Filming

Because a producer may be working on several projects at once, the task of overseeing the filming process is often delegated to sub-producers, or executive producers. Indeed, most films have several producers who oversee different stages of a film’s production. A good case in point is 2012’s The Avengers, which was produced by Kevin Feige and seven sub-producers.

Post Production

Although producers usually are not involved in editing a film, they wield editorial control over the finished film and can make decisions about how a film ends or what scenes it should include or exclude. Some films are tested to gauge audience reaction, and a film may be adjusted accordingly.

Distribution

If the producer is satisfied with a film, then he or she distributes the film. A common way to distribute a film is through an established studio, which in turn distributes the movies to cinemas across the country. However, direct-to-video distribution is becoming more common, especially for smaller companies and independent studios.

Although direct-to-video movies traditionally have carried a stigma as being inferior in some way, many direct-to-video movies are profitable and well-received. For example, Warner Bros. Animation has released several successful direct-to-video animated movies set in the DC Universe, such as Justice League: New Frontier.
