Have you ever fancied being in the movies, or on TV? Let's face it, who hasn't! But how do you actually go about becoming an Extra, one of those lucky people who get to mix with the stars, and appear onscreen — whether it be in a battle scene in a blockbuster movie, or walking around Albert Square — and what's more, get paid for the privilege! Unbelievably, there has never been a book which tells you exactly how to get work as a Supporting Artiste — until now. You Can Be a Movie Extra is the ultimate insider's guide (author Rob Martin is a leading casting agent, who's supplied Extras for films such as Gladiator and Harry Potter). It tells you everything you need to know, from getting on an agent's books to what to do on your first day on set, and how to make sure you keep getting regular work, whether it be in films, on TV, or in commercials and music videos!

How You Can Work As A Background Actor(Extra) in Movies, Commercials, and Television. Have you ever wanted to be on TV or in the movies but lacked acting experience?

If you're interested in working in movies or making music and you were not privileged to be born the son or daughter of an already established named actor, writer, or musician that can open the door for you, then this book is your guide. Should you decide to take that leap from the normal to what everyone else considers the abnormal career choice the advice in this book can not only save you months and years of getting that first background artist job, but can also save you hundreds and thousands of dollars that you do not need to spend in pursuit of the entertainment industry as a career. Consider this book a basic training manual, a no punches pulled guide to the obstacles that you are guaranteed to face while pursuing entertainment as the industry of your choice. The main focus of this book is to educate those that wish to pursue show business regardless of one's area of interest within the performing arts, whether one wants to be an actor, or writer, producer or director, songwriter or recording artist. They all have one ugly thing in common and that is the con-artist. They will promise you the world just to empty the contents of your wallet and bank account. They will prey upon your dreams so that their gain is your nightmare. Let this book be your shield for those that will use unscrupulous and unethical tactics against you. While pursuing the entertainment industry as a career, you will also be confronted with more obstacles, walls, and closed doors, that will be just as disappointing as getting ripped off. One thing you will find is that if you can't handle rejection and do not have thick skin then the entertainment industry definitely isn't for you. However if you can keepgetting back on that horse no matter how many times it throws you then this book will help you keep dusting yourself off and staying in the saddle. Consider me as your wagon master guiding you through dangerous territory, with all of its unpleasantness and uncertainties, although I can't guarantee the success of your journey through show business, as can no one, I can at least point you in the right direction so you won't be lured off the beaten path by the bandits that hide and wait for you. There will be those that will tell you that you will not succeed, but in my opinion if your only goal is to work in movies and you only work as a movie extra then you have succeeded, as success itself has many levels and one has to start somewhere. Trust me some of today's big names were also once told, go home you'll never make it and now they have a net worth of over $600,000,000.00. You may never become the $600,000,000.00 man or woman but no matter, follow your heart do what you love and love what you do.

“How I Broke into the Movies – and How You Can Too!” is a must-read for anyone who wants to act in film, as well as for fans of the silver screen who want to know what goes on behind the scenes. This straight-from-the-shoulder account written by an eighteen year veteran of the business, pulls no punches. Entertaining and informative, “How I Broke into the Movies – and How You Can Too!” is an easy-going, tell-it-like-it-is book that takes the reader along on the movie adventure Leona Toppel has been experiencing since 1983 (and she doesn’t live anywhere near Hollywood).

Cameos about some of filmdom’s brightest stars as told by those who were there are included. There’s a “Who’s Who and What’s What” section which explains many of the terms used in the movie business. Readers can’t help but smile at, and have compassion for, the ups and downs of the background actors who give movies that real look. Each chapter has its specific purpose: 1. Sex and Debauchery or Now That I Have Your Attention, Here’s How I Fell in Love with the Movies (O.K., so there’s not one bit of sex and debauchery anywhere in this book but this chapter will give you an idea of why movies have been important to me for as long as I can remember.) 2. How Would You Like to Be a Mother? The Day Fate Became My Agent. (You just never know when or how an important aspect of your life may change.) 3. A “Typical Day “ on the Set? FUHGEDABOUDIT! (Actually, there is no such thing as a typical day – and that’s just one of the aspects I love about the business. In this chapter you’ll find out how “exciting” a day can be.) 4. I Was Told to Pat Paul Newman on the Shoulder: Little Pleasures, Big Breaks.and Bad Hair Days (Here are some experiences movie fans dream about – with a few nightmares thrown in.) 5. Short Takes on Big Stars (You may be surprised when you read first-hand accounts about some of your favorite stars.) 6. You Meet Some of the Nicest People - and Some Others Who Are – Don’t Ask – I’ll Tell You (You’re sure to recognize some of these characters – whether you work in the movies or in an office.) 7. Did I Get It or Did She Get It? (Auditions are part of the movie/TV business, so deal with it.) 8. Safety First! (You’ve Got to Watch Out for Lots of Dangerous Things in This Business) (Try not to trip over your own feet – or put your foot in your mouth.) 9. Sparky and Friends (The best picture of an extra’s life can be gleaned through sharing their ups and downs.) 10. Show Biz Kidz (Got youngsters you’d like to get into the business? Think long and hard before you take that first step.) 11. A Wrap? No! Just the Beginning! (Here are detailed instructions for getting started in the business.) Each chapter adds another piece to the puzzle which, when completed, gives the reader the BIG PICTURE. Aspiring actor or movie fan, this is the book for you. After reading “How I Broke into the Movies – and How You Can Too!” you may find yourself on the way to a new career – or just on the way to see the latest flick. Either way, you’ll never look at movies the same way again.

Throughout film history, one of the fundamental fantasies portrayed on screen has been the kind of physical action few of us could ever experience in real life. The image of an 'every man' engaged in hand-to-hand, mortal combat, defending his family or even the world population against an overwhelming and malevolent force, speaks to our most primal instincts and thus became a mainstay of movie entertainment. In order to translate these deep-seated fantasies to the screen, filmmakers have been developing special skills and crafts for over 100 years. It is these skills that make 'movie magic' and have allowed audiences to take part in the primal hopes and fears we all possess. Movie Stunts & Special Effects: A Comprehensive Guide to Planning and Execution is designed to inform filmmakers on how to plan for and utilize these crafts by engaging and empowering filmmakers to better communicate with stunts and effects practitioners, and thereby enabling them to more fully realize their vision. Director/Producer Andrew Lane surveys fights, use of weapons, cars and vehicles, falls, the use of pyrotechnics, atmospheric effects, bullet hits, wounds and blood, among many other categories. Factors such as cost, time to implement, safety accommodations, and assessing the competence of those employed to plan and execute stunts and special effects are numerous and very specific. Each topic in Movie Stunts & Special Effects is examined using narrative explanations and extensive interviews with world-renowned experts. Various stunts and special effects are explored in the context of how they are best captured by a camera and then editorially constituted in the final product.

The first goal is to explore the difference between fairness and justice in language assessment. The authors distinguish internal and external dimensions of the equitable and just treatment of individuals taking language tests which are used as gatekeeping devices to determine access to education and employment, immigrant status, citizenship, and other rights. The second goal is to show how the extent of test fairness can be demonstrated and improved using the tools of psychometrics, in particular the models collectively known as Rasch measurement. “This book will have an enormous impact on the field of language assessment. Using Rasch analysis models to explore and identify sources of unfairness, the authors make a compelling case for fairness in the design and implementation of language assessment instruments and for justice in the interpretation and use of test results. A real strength of the book is that it guides readers through analytical techniques in an accessible way.” Dan Douglas, Professor Emeritus, Applied Linguistics Program, Iowa State University.

“ I feel like Scott Ryan could have written this directly to me and others in our generation who have basically &‘ given up' on movies. It is at once tribute and eulogy, so bittersweet.” &– Screenwriter Helen Childress (Reality Bites)“ The nineties are lucky to have Scott Ryan.” &– Actress Natasha Gregson Wagner (Two Girls and a Guy, Lost Highway)Ah, the nineties. Movies were something in those days. We' re talking about a decade that began with GoodFellas and ended with Magnolia, with such films as Malcolm X, Before Sunrise, and Clueless arriving somewhere in between. Stories, characters, and writing were king; IP, franchise movies, and supersaturated superhero flicks were still years away. Or so says Scott Ryan, the iconoclastic author of The Last Days of Letterman and Moonlighting: An Oral History, who here turns his attention to The Last Decade of Cinema— the prolific 1990s. Ryan, who watched just about every film released during the decade when he was a video store clerk in a small town in Ohio, identifies twenty-five unique and varied films from the decade, including Pretty Woman, Pulp Fiction, Menace II Society, and The Shawshank Redemption, focusing with his trademark humor and insight on what made them classics and why they could never be produced in today' s film culture. The book also includes interviews with writers, directors, and actors from the era. Go back to the time of VCR' s, DVD rentals, and movies that mattered. Turn off your streaming services, put down your phones, delete your Twitter account, and take a look back at the nineties with your Eyes Wide Shut, a White Russian in your hand, and yell “ Hasta la vista, baby” to today' s meaningless entertainment. Revel in the risk-taking brilliance of Quentin Tarantino, Amy Heckerling, Spike Lee, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, and others in Scott Ryan' s magnum opus, The Last Decade of Cinema.
