little suffer from frustration and depression and also may have suicidal tendencies - What are the differences between acting in the theatre and that in the film?
Acting in the theatre and that in the film is totally different. In theatre performance, actors
have just one chance to get it right. There are no retakes. Secondly, the distance between
the audience and the actor is much more in theatre acting. So, actors have to exaggerate
facial expressions and gestures so that every audience member can see what’s going on.
However, in films, the camera can get extremely close to the actor, which closes the gap
between the audience and the actors. So actors on film must use subtle, controlled and
natural expressions and body language. Finally, stage actors must deliver the same
performance with new energy each time they perform.
