Movie : Movie Quality

Actually for me the quality of movies is getting better. Especially British movies, in the last year alone, Hot Fuzz, Atonement, and now Stardust, all very different films but with some very good casting and writers to boot.

I am a great movie fan, but have found the music of these films can also affect my view of a film.

The film Stardust has produced the most wonderful haunting soundtrack from the group Take That “Rule the World” and although I have not seen the film, I just know I will love the movie. As my all time favorite actress and actor are both in this film “Michelle Pfeiffer & Robert De Niro”.

The film that I have seen recently that made me come out much lifted was Mamma Mia and that was done on a shoestring budget, but I have to say it was the most wonderful film and so uplifting and I could not stop singing Abba songs for the rest of the evening.

Movie : How to become a movie extra

To break into the acting world may be your biggest dream and your most daunting task. It takes lots of hard work, long hours, minimal pay, and pure luck. In order to succeed in making it onto the big screen you must possess the passion it takes to get there.

One of the most important things to have, besides raw talent, is a professional portfolio. You must go into an audition with a picture to leave behind,along with a resume of your acting accomplishments and training. Casting directors see too many faces to remember you by name at the end of the day. Also, remember to leave a phone number with an appropriate voice mail. The casting director will most likely hang up on you if the other line says something like, “Yo, it’s me, I ain’t here, holla at the beep.”

Next, contact your local area talent agencies. Depending on your geographical area the choices can be slim or abundant. If you live in a small town in the hills, consider moving or visiting a known breakthrough city frequently. Although you can make it from a small, town the odds are typically stacked against you. Once you have found a few trusted agencies, inquire about additional training classes, acting organizations, and photographers they use. This will show them you are truly interested in this line of work and you are willing to give the effort to succeed.
