Many people dream of seeing a recording of their favorite TV show or even a full-length movie. Of course, in order to become a full-fledged central participant in the action, you need to be a professional actor and preferably already have experience in filming, otherwise you will not see the role. But, in addition to the central characters, fighters from an invisible and sometimes visible front are constantly required in film and television. It is they who portray the crowd in large-scale scenes of historical action, when thousands of people run across the battlefield with weapons at the ready. They are the ones laughing off-screen in popular sitcoms, the hosts of popular talk shows come up to them to give the microphone to the "man in the studio." Anyone can become such a person from the crowd, moreover, often they also pay for this work.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what kind of shooting you would like to get. This will determine, first of all, the fact whether you will be paid for participation or, on the contrary, will you pay. So, tickets for filming KVN games, ice shows, concerts of comedians and pop stars are sold at ordinary entertainment box offices or at the box office of the palace or concert hall where the event will be held. They cost, at times, more expensive than regular concerts, but there is a chance that the operator will grab your face from the crowd of spectators in the hall.
Step 2
Recruitment for shooting all kinds of television shows, from entertainment to judicial, is carried out by special casting managers or extras brigade leaders. Their contacts are easy to find on the Internet on specialized sites: snimite-menya.ru, www.massovki.ru, www.stunner.ru, www.birza-truda.ru. Sometimes they themselves hand out leaflets with an invitation to shoot in Moscow near the metro, post advertisements in educational institutions. As a rule, the ads indicate the requirements (age, gender, appearance) for the applicants, so you can determine whether you are suitable for this shooting or not. Please note that everyone who is willing to sit under the spotlights all day for a small fee and clap on command, looking at the stars, is usually recruited into the hall. But in order to become a hero of a judicial program or talk show, you must at least have a bright appearance and be able to speak beautifully for the camera
Step 3
You can compose your own portfolio. with a photo and a short questionnaire, and send it to the address of the Mosfilm film studio: Moscow, st. Mosfilmovskaya, 1, if you want to act in mass scenes of movies or TV series. You can also leave a request on the extras sites. Follow the announcements in the local press too: assistant directors are constantly recruiting people who want to shoot when filming on the road, especially in nature near small towns. To get into the extras of such scenes, you will need to go through a mini-interview with the casting assistant: tell about yourself on camera so that the assistant is convinced of your cinematic nature and relaxedness.
