This guide for actors and directors develops a method for training performers to act from their core - whether they are cold reading, auditioning, or performing for film or television. The text teaches actors how to achieve and respond to believable and honest emotions before the camera, and it maintains that the key to a successful performance lies in how the actors relate to one another and to the circumstances. Exercises, including script examples, throughout the text provide a resource for practicing the principles outlined.
The Art of Film Making applies a classic stage acting method (Stanislavsky) to the more intimate medium of performing before a camera, teaching how to experience and emotion rather than to indicate it.
