Pornographic actor

insanely overrated. I think talent comes through hard work and learning the craft. I find this an interesting occupation I 'm in, and I guess I 've always approached if differently than most of the world. I know a lot of people think that to be an actor, you have to be born with it. Everyone assumes that everyone who does it is just naturally good at it. What we do is we recreate real life, human experiences on cue and on command, but all we 're doing is recreating humanity. So the first…

The set was minimalistic with only one chair and a few lights, so in order for the show to make since, there had to be a lot of creativity involved. Lighting was used as a tool to fill the empty spaces where other actors would be and to draw the audiences attention toward them. The actress on stage, the Pilot, used certain areas of the stage along with specific motivated lighting to represent her interactions with certain characters. For example, when we meet Eric…

The Task of Recreating A difficult task for any movie director would be recreating popular literature in its truest form, while also incorporating the director’s artistic vision, in order to make the text his or her own as well. The supernatural drama Lovely Bones, directed by Peter Jackson, was released on December 11, 2009. The award winning movie, based on the bestselling novel by Alice Sebold, impressively recreates the chilling murder story of fourteen-year-old Susie Salmon and the events…

Creating A Role by Constantin Stanislavski In his book Building A Character, Constantin Stanislavski gives actors the techniques needed for creating a role. He writes that a fully realized character is born through studying, establishing the life of the role, and transforming the role into physical form. He writes on three main periods: the first being preparation, the second period is the period of emotional experience, and the third period is the embodiment of the role. He compares these…

just an act put on in a room for an audience. As I began this class, theatre became much more. I was able to understand that theatre is not just an act put on in a room for an audience, yet it is a well thought out production between directors and actors to ensure the audience is getting the best show possible from any angle in the theatre. Theatre also is a form of art and tells a story through acting, singing, and dancing in the background of ethics, culture, and/or morals. Throughout this…

always a challenge for directors who wish to convey a certain message through their film and, keep the attention of the audience, as well. While mise-en-scène generally refers to the appearance of a film, it can also be interpreted as the way the actors present their characters and how the audience identifies with their performance. Nicolas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause is one example of a film that captures the audience’s attention through its mise-en-scène and sheds light on the issues of…

The Sparrow On Friday, November 18, 2016, my wife and I saw the 7:30 showing of The Sparrow, a play written by Chris Matthews, Jake Minton, and Nathan Allen. The play is about a high school girl (Emily) returning to her former school after a tragic accident in the second grade, in which she was the only survivor, forced her to move and attend a different school. Eventually it is revealed that Emily has super powers when she saves the popular cheerleader (Jenny) from falling from the school’s…

On December 7th, at 7:30pm, I attended It’s A Wonderful Life, A Live Radio Play. Illinois State University’s adaptation of this classic film took place in the Center for the Performing Arts. The actors took the stage as members of a 1940s radio show, playing a multitude of characters depicted in the original film. Although vastly different from the cinema version, this adaptation was very successful due to the congruous 1940s costumes, the use of varied voices to portray numerous characters, and…

Sources say that women were not allowed to act in theatre productions because they were uneducated compared to men. Playwrights, audiences, and mostly everyone, feared that due to this education gap, women wouldn’t know what to do when they got on stage, which could potentially ruin the entire production. This made women feel significantly less intelligent, and even worthless. Men, especially the wealthy, for lacking basic knowledge and education, often taunted women. Despite the fact that…

Shakespeare Philosophy by McGinn, his thesis states, “I suggest that this comparison between himself and an actor provides the key to the play and to Hamlet’s elusive character. Hamlet is facing the problem of the nothingness of the self, and his way out of this nothingness is through an essentially theatrical construction of a self” (pg. 45). I agree with McGinn thesis that “between himself and an actor…
