- Eye light: focused on your eyes.
- You only recognize emotions
from the face, voice, behavior, etc.
- Translucency of face. There are feeling
people who can have emotions come out through their face. Then,
there are people who feel, but it can't come through their facial bone
structure. No matter how hard they try to act, the emotion can't get out,
because of their stone looking face.
- Don't do characterizing. Gary Cooper almost did nothing, he
just felt a lot and thought. He didn't do muggings, he didn't do face
acting.
- Close up, they want faces in
TV.
- Comes down to the human face,
not just special effects.
- It's all about the human face.
- On screen, the importance of eyes.
- People are born with "the face."
- Simple, honest, vocal. Don't start acting, once you remind
audience you're an actor it's over. Cannot take every big moment and turn it into radio.
Vocalize, make it loudly. The problem is to deal with big moments. They don't have to be
loud.
- First beginner actors use tricks with their face
to substitute for feelings. Can't act with
face.
- The unspoken things, even though nothing was
spoken, the big screen will catch the look out of the corner of the eye of
the actor.
- What happens to your face has
to be specific for film, start out with what the character
feels and his objective. If the
emotion is terror, then that is what has to
happen.
Comedy has nothing to do with
normal behavior.
In film they need close ups, they want
to film the face. For framing jokes with high energy,
actors can't keep moving around all the time. Don't move on every *@#!!! line,
the director needs to set up shots. Actors can stay
together for awhile. Cut down on movement to different places.
"In the end, it
can't look like acting."
