Acting episode 5: Miming.
In an amateur movie, the likely hood of having everything you need to act is quite low. If it comes to a moment in the scene where you need a weapon or something like that, you need to peretend you have one. This is actually fairly easy as long as you know what to do!
To mime, all you need to do is see what your holding or is around you and try to picture it in the situation your in. When you see that you have to try and co-ordinate yourself around it and finally attemt to involve it with the scene.
A few common mistake whilst miming is when you start using your fingers as the object such as sizzors or pistols. This looks a bit pathetic and unnatural so really when you hold things like that you need to hold you finger in the handel. Also, people quite often hold onto things with clenched fists. That doesnt work, as most things are not slim enough to hold with a clenched fist.
So, remember the process of miming, and keep in mind the obvious and most common mistakes, and generally it should look as authentic as the real thing.

acting episode 4: Drama
Acting, when it comes down to it, is all about telling the story in person. There's no point in having a lot of perfect action and improvisation, if ytou can't be serious about what it's all about.
Dramatic scenes are easily the hardest to film as it requires you to truely become part of the scene and be serious about your acting. If you start to smil when you talk about death or pause randomly in a hurried conversation, it will lose all the meaning to the scene and won't be taken seriously. Thats fine if your making a comedy, but in almost every other genre you'd begin to lose the story.
So the trick to taking drama seriously is imagining you in a similar situation. If you've ever, say, forgotten your homework or nearly got caught doing something you shouldn't, recall that moment of mass panic and stress use that emotion in the scene. If you think about you truly being there and not just being a character it will become easier and more believable.
So that's all for dramatic acting, stay tuned
