ABSTRACT

It is not my intention to be comprehensive here on the differences between stage and film acting. This book has focused on acting for the stage. There are some excellent books on film acting, including the landmark books Film Technique and Film Acting by V. I. Pudovkin, and The Film Experience: Elements of Motion Picture Art by Roy Huss and Norman Silverstein. I also recommend Michael Caine’s Acting in Film: An Actor’s Take on Moviemaking and Peter Bogdanovich’s Pieces of Time: Peter Bogdanovich on the Movies.
