Secrets Of Screen Acting

When it was first published in 1993, Secrets of Screen Acting broke new ground in explaining how acting for the camera is different from acting on stage. Reaction time is altered, physical timing and placement are reconceived, and the proportions of the digital frame itself become the measure of all things, so the director must conceptualize each image in terms of this new rectangle, and actors must "fit" into the frame. Based on a revolutionary, nonmethod approach to acting, this book shows what actually works: how an actor, an announcer - anyone working in front of the cameras - gives excellent performances on screen. Instead of starting with what is real and trying to wrestle that onto the screen, Patrick Tucker explains how to work with the realities of a shoot and work from there toward the real. His step by step guide to the elements of effective screen acting is an extension and explanation of a lifetime of work in the field, containing over 50 acting exercises and the tried-and-tested screen acting checklist.

This is the best book I have seen on technique for screen acting. Patrick Tucker wrote the first one in 1993, and I've been recommending it to my acting students all this time. This new edition includes time code markers for referenced scenes. If you have a DVD of the referenced movie (DVD's are not included), you can go directly to the scene in question and see for yourself what he is talking about in terms of technique. There also is a section on directing actors for film, which I find interesting. I've been teaching acting for many years and have read most of the books on camera technique. This one rises to the top with its straightforward presentation.Ed Hookshttp://www.edhooks.com
