As human beings, we are directed by our feelings and opinions. By nature, we speak and do things that are in accordance with what we've learned of the world. Some people can apply those feelings to the characters they portray in films, TV shows, and plays, and those that loose themselves in their characters become the best actors of all. If this sounds like you, read on.
An actor can assume two types of roles: antagonist and protagonist. The main character or hero does not have to always play the part of the protagonist; he can be an antagonist as well. If you're going to get into acting, you should make sure and look for a reputable talent agency who's not going to take all your money. So do your homework, don't hand over your cash, and, just for your own enlightenment, keep in mind the very nature of the story itself.
The story of a play or film is comprised of all the events in a plot. There are five parts of the plot, according to German dramatist Gustav Freytag. The first part is exposition (introduction of characters and setting), followed by rising action or conflict (problems arise), then the climax (the highest point of the story), and afterwards falling action (the turning point of the story), and then resolution (the conclusion, outcome or ending). The plot of many, maybe most stories, is about a hero fighting an enemy. Now the hero can be fighting a whole bunch of enemies such as monsters or zombies, a hostile family (say, the heroine's angry brothers), a crooked government, or the hero's own self.
In order to enhance their acting potential, all types of actors undertake series of performing workshops. In addition, they also need to develop their proficiency in singing, dancing and speaking. Some types of actors that become the most successful are considered multi-talented -- they can do it all. They get the jobs that few others can even think about pulling off.
Aside from having great acting skills, actors can best communicate with the audience through the aid of supporting actors. There rarely are one-man films, and the presence of other characters in a story usually makes it more entertaining.
Then in addition, a great film or play requires a great setting or location. It can be a real one or artificially created just for the film. The quality of the props, costumes, backdrops and other paraphernalia used in the shooting is of great importance as these elements help create the world of the characters.
In addition, the film or play has to have a good director. The director supervises the overall flow and progress of the story. He makes orders and suggestions how the characters should be portrayed, how the props should be used, how the setting should be set up, how the camera should roll, etc. Additionally, a production requires plenty other people to help out. Some operate the lights, cameras, costumes, props, food, transportation, animation, editing, dubbing, musical scoring, choreography, and the like.
However, all the people in a production, from actors to the director and his staff, would not be very effective if the script for the movie or play does not hold any significance and appeal. Scriptwriters play a very crucial role in the movie or theater production. They have the obligation to make the story amusing so that the audience enjoys the show and doesn't storm out and burn down the movie house.
