The Face on the Screen
By: Davis, Therese
Published by: Intellect
There was a time is screen culture when the facial close-up was a spectacular and mysterious image… The constant bombardment of the super-enlarged, computer-enhanced faces of advertising, the endless 'talking heads' of television and the ever-changing array of film stars' faces have reduced the face to a banal image, while the dream of early film theorists that the 'giant severed heads' of the screen could reveal 'the soul of man' to the masses is long since dead. And yet the end of this dream opens up the possibility for a different view of the face on the screen. The aim of the book is to seize this opportunity to rethink the facial close-up in terms other than subjectivity and identity by shifting the focus to questions of death and recognition. In doing so, the book proposes a dialectical reversal or about-face. It suggests that we focus our attention on the places in contemporary media where the face becomes unrecognisable, for it is here that the facial close-up expresses the powers of death. Using Walter Benjamin's theory of the dialectical image as a critical tool, the book provides detailed studies of a wide range of media spectacles of faces becoming unrecognisable. It shows how the mode of recognition enabled by these faces is a shock experience that can open our eyes to the underside of the mask of self - the unrecognisable mortal face of self we spend our lives trying not to see. Turning on itself, so to speak, the face exposes the fragile relationship between social recognition and facial recognizability in the images-cultures of contemporary media.

Film And Tv Acting
By: Institute For Career Research Contributing Editors
Published by: Institute For Career Research
The most important thing to understand is that most of the actors who achieve some degree of success do so because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD THAT THEY CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE THEMSELVES DOING. That being said, most must do a lot of “grunt work” type jobs: waiting tables, maid service, temping, or anything else that will pay the bills while allowing themselves flexibility in schedule, so that there’s time for auditions, meetings with casting directors and agents, and working on your image. In a way, a career in acting is similar to marketing and sales. A career in TV and film acting requires you to market yourself. You must find the best and most appropriate way to present yourself to those who are hiring. True, you have to do this to get a job in any profession, but an actor will be doing this kind of self-promotion on a daily basis. There’s no such thing as job security in the world of television and film acting, so it is your job always to be on the lookout for the next assignment. Knowledge is power, so stay current on the show business trade papers, and even if you’re fortunate enough to have a great agent who gets you a lot of auditions, you must do a lot of your own research. Talk to people, take classes, and be aware of the latest trends in the industry. Once you get the job, you are expected to know what you’re doing. This is where the technique you develop and consistently practice (in classes, workshops, or on stage) is crucial. Most important, however, is your attitude. Many actors are jaded and bitter; it’s a very tough business, full of failure. But it’s not impossible, and you’ll often find that working actors are generally positive about their outlook on the business – and life.
