Well... i was thinking and i thought, you know how actors and actress's act... like.. in films and that?(duh). Well it got me thinking... i wonder which they would find easier....

acting out real life... e.g. in a soap or something...

or

acting out pretend... supernatural storys.. e.g. superman

As you see, some may see acting out supernatural films are easier as it's easy for them to pretend somethings there, and because its not real. Although... others would find acting out supernatural films hard as its not real.. that's how it would be hard. Basically because they can't relate it to anything in their life or.. they are to embarrased to point at the sky and look terrified/excited/whatever emotion, because there is nothing there as it would be edited later.

And, some may see acting out a real life situation easier as... well... its real life! They live real life! And could possibly relate the scene to something similar thats happened to them. Although... others may find it difficult either because they may not have had something similar or.. they have had but find it to hard to repeat or.. find it easier to play pretend as they live real life day to day and want a change.

Views?

I say we all just head off and go fishing in a fish tank!... anyone..?

Well, that was... mind startling. That got me thinking as well, lol. In my opinion, though, it'd be easier to act in a fictional story than a real life one, because acting doesn't entirely depend on personal experience. I'm no actor, but that's just my view. It could vary between different people and what kinds of characters they would like to act out.

I need a new sig.

I heart Sarah Palin.

haha!

very good point though!

hmmmmmmm?!! it depends what the storyline/film script is!! if its similar to their own life then soaps but if they have to be someone completely different then supernatural because they can use more imagination! bye x

p.s. cool fishing in a tank thing hehe

i think they find either one just as easy. actors/actresses are already more prone to schizophrenia and personality problems seing as how their entire lives revolve around projecting different mentalities for their jobs.

life is what you make it

Ok get this this is my topic i am an actor it is what i do and all. i do indie vids and theatre and i find that becoming something supernatural is soo much more fun to act as i do find it hard to know when to stop also. Ya know what i mean.

Does this defining silence mean nothing to no one but me?

I would think Superhero would be the hardest, spending a day hanging by wires with nothing to play against except a green screen. Also more stunts, fight rehearsals. In a fantasy film, allot of what you see isn't there.

They have tv's with the special effects already set on it playing so the actors can see where they are and what is going on around them.

I think the dept of character in "real life" is harder compared to something fictional. When you act and the scene requires you to cry, how would you portray it looking naturally? This is harder. In comparison to fictional movies, the special effects can actually divert the audience's attention. Besides was there ever a time in hollywood that a best actor/actress came from superhero based story. None
