The Makings




 

 

 

 

Have you ever taken a drama class? Or acted in the school play? Well I have. And I know its no piece of cake. Now imagine that, but 100 times harder. With more lines to memorize. And your whole career on hold, And at jeopardy. Well that’s what actors go through every time they decide to try out for the role of an actor. Or every time they agree to a script that was sent to them. 

The making of movies is not only difficult for the actors , but for the directors. It takes massive amounts of money just to make one scene of the movie. Yet alone the whole thing. Plus the actors income and the rest of the staff and crew. It is very pricy to make a movie. But if it is successful then it is worth all the trouble and all nighters they put in. If not then, they just have to try again.

            Many actors have later on become directors. For example Sean Penn who directed Into the Wild. And Robert Deniro , who directed more then one movie  A Bronx Tale , and A Good Sheppard. It is said that the reason most actors or actresses becomes directors later on when their acting lives have been successful is because they heard , or were told a story that inspired them and they thought that it should be made into a movie. Also because they might have met a director or have a movie that they acted in be directed by a director that inspired them to direct. And made them realize, that there real compassion is not acting, but directing.

Shooting the scene may not be easy. But actually putting the movie together can be very simple. If you have a digital camera and a Mac , you can most definitely make a movie using iMovie. People actually do it all the time. Instead of writing on a blog like this one , they just record stuff then post it. 

            If it wasn’t for all those directors and actors and film makers. I personally think that the world would be a much more boring place. People have become so hooked on movies that they cant go a week without seeing a new one .Of course of the film industry that is very good news. But for the parents of the teenage kids who are the ones who are going and watching the movies it means buying hundreds of movie tickets. But its totally worth it!
