Question

What are advantages of movie production over stage production?

Answer 1

They are completely different media, but they are more closely related than any other pair of art forms.

As an actor, I don't like film work, because it takes away a lot of the fun, but there are some advantages.

The few things that jump to mind are:

The ability to jump from one location to another without any resetting of the stage (and the associated time lag)

The capacity to edit out mistakes

The capacity for film to feel more realistic, alleviating the need for the actors to be particularly talented in order to have the audience suspend their disbelief

Answer 2

I'm sure many film actors enjoy the ability to have multiple takes for a scene to get it right.

That's the only possible "advantage" I see. They're different mediums - apples and oranges.
