Extra in movies

Many people are dreaming of becoming a actor or actrice.A few are really.In every film there are many extra that participate.A extra is necessary for playing a little rol in the movie.They can be a housewive, a danser, a taxidriver, a cop, anything you can think.

A extra need to be sometimes all day on the set for a little paycheck but its an experience on its own.For a few seconds in the movie they have re-recording a scene many times .An extra needs a lot of patience.When the crew is recording you have to be silent.

Sometimes it is necessary to bring clothes or shoe.Usually they give you the appropriate clothing and you can changes clothes there.If necessary you will be painted.I advice you to take someting with you to read or play.

An extra will get information over his rol from the extra leader.This leader will him explain what he or she have to do.Listen carefully because at some point its up to you and its must be good from the first time = pressure, stress.

There are many sites where you can candidate for a rol as an extra. a few sites are:

Most of the time you have to have a account where you have to fill in you name and address, you age, your clothing sizes.You have to send them a few photos, mostly you can put them on the site.When you have an account you can candidate for a rol.

I have twice participated as an extra and i must say there are many people involved in making a film.But it was a great experience and fun to do.For the moment i don't have the time to participate in an other movie but i can certainly recommend it.You get an expense allowance, depends on your role.,
