Acting in Films????????????

Question

Okay if you are auditioning for films and have alot of theatre experience but u dont have any films under ur belt how will you ever prove to a casting director that ur good on film if they know you dont have any experience?

Answer 1

Try independent films, school films, then you'll have film experience.

Answer 2

The short answer is an "audition" or "screen test," but this is where theatre actors often reveal themselves because they are accustomed to making larger-than-life gestures that can be seen at the back of an auditorium.  But a camera can pick up a subtle motion, like a raised eyebrow.  That's why there are classes called "Acting for the Camera"
