Week 11 Film Analysis: Character and Performance
Michael Caine Teaches Acting In Film
"The theatre is an operation with the scalpel, I think movie acting is an operation with the laser." Michael Caine teaches in this documentary the art of movie acting.
One of the 9 elements of Analysis that we have been studying this semester is character and performance.
Are the characters believable? Did the acting help you to believe the characters were real? Just as important is an actor's presence on the screen. If an actor commands your attention so that you can't look away, they're probably performing well. How do the actors convey information using their bodies and faces?
An added note for last week's storyboarding and shooting script class:
HOMEWORK WEEK 11
Add camera and lighting instructions on your storyboards and do your filming for your final assignment THIS WEEK,
Think about how sound and music can work for your film. You have, via the internet and our own Academy library, access to a large array of these tools. One suggestion is to embrace a genre when planning and refining a story. If you do this, choosing music that works well within that genre will make the music scoring process more intuitive and productive. Good luck!
