AN ACTOR
An actor is a person, animal or objects that interpret the
character as written in the script for motion picture recording.
An object or animal can be an actor when the script
recognises it as a character that will perform an independent action. This
implies that the object or animal will not be used by another character but
will do or say things on its own.
MOTION PICTURE
This is the recording in video of movement of living and
non-living things for the purpose of information, Education, Entertainment,
Documentary, analysis and presentation.
THE SCRIPT
Everything that is done in screen production must be in
strict adherence to the prescription of the script, therefore a script is a
written guide in motion picture production. A script is regarded as the holy
book of motion picture production.
STUNT
ACTING
This is when the actor interprets the character by doing
exactly what is written in the script in physical terms; this normally involves
high risks body movement that requires Technical, Tactical, Physical strength
and intellectual ability, E.g. jumping down from a high rise building
without any form of protection.
PRODUCTION
PERSONNEL
1. EXECUTIVE PRODUCER—He or she is the
financier of motion picture production
2. PRODUCER—He or she is the coordinator
and employer of all production personnel and cast, and also provides all
necessary equipment for the production.
3. DIRECTOR—The head of all technical
works and directs all actors on the way to interpret all the characters.
The Producer provides everything needed for the production while the Director
uses everything during the production.
4. ASSOCIATE PRODUCER—Assists the producer
to coordinate the production, hire casts, crew and equipment during motion
picture production. The associate producer is always a person that is
knowledgeable about production co-ordination and should be as good as the

trusted person and a confidant to the producer. A production coordinator
supervises the performance and compliance of the cast and crew, and reports only
directly to the producer. The difference between a production coordinator and an
associate producer is that the associate producer assists the producer to make
sure that the motion picture production is done professionally, while the
production coordinator though also assist the producer to ensure a good and
professional production, he or she also administer funds and bears the burden
of any challenge that may arise during the production alongside the producer.

director to coordinate casts, crew and equipment. He makes sure that everything

CHARACTERISATION
This is the ability of an actor to understand
the lines and situation and interpret them convincingly as though he or she is
the origin of the lines and situations, that is, an actor should be able to
interpret the behaviour and manner of the character to the extent that the
viewer will believe that it is the actor’s natural way of behaviour. Actors are
expected to memorise the lines in the script and say them exactly as it is
written. An actor can be allowed to use certain exclamations or add-ons only by
the director.
