When it comes to drama, there are many different things there are to think about, first is obviously, what are your strengths and weaknesses, especially when it comes to performing. If you're open to working on things with ease and without mistakes, maybe live broadway is for you! If you're good but prone to messing up because of nerves, etc then maybe on-scren movies can be the best for you. If you're just the audience, you can think about what you like to see. There's live, which is people performing right there and then, movies or TV shows, on screen people, and some of them can be really hearfelt, sad and dramatic, while others can be much more lively and fun!
The final results are definitely worth it but what about before shooting/performing. Well, that process can be messy. Hundreds of thousands of people go through recording themselves, sending it to the offices and desperately wishing to get picked. Obviously, not everyone does. Since the office doesn't have enough time to email everyone who didn't make it to the next stage of auditions (there's often several stages), they just don't email them back at all. It's a sad but true thing, if you weren't considered good enough for what you auditioned, they just leave you and you can go back to trying again or giving up for good.
Yes, the process to get into industies are often tedious, tiresome, and you don't always get in. That's why in acting they call your first ever acting project a 'Big break' because it's your beginning into the acting world. But once you're in, yes the acting itself can be difficult but when you're not in front of the camera, it can be quite enjoyable. There have been many photos that people have taken of both young and older actors, there have been some fan-made ships between certain actors who seem to some sort of chemistry when they're not on set. There's also the hours of makeup, costumes, sets, and so much more. In short, it can be both tiring but exciting.
How can you not know the iconic Harry Potter movies and/or books? It's impossible to not know at least one thing about it. However, there are many interestingly funny parts that some potterheads do know about both the behind-the-scenes and the on-screen parts and some do not know. First, Dramione is a BIG fan ship. Everyone says that the actors Emma Watson (Hermione) and Tom Felton (Draco) should've been a couple. Emma confirmed that as an 11-year old she did have a crush but nowadays, they stay as just friends. Many fans say that this ship shouldn't exist so there's a current debate going on between Potterheads whether there should or shouldn't be the Dramione ship. Next it another Emma Watson fact. There was actually a fine for laughing on set since the actors did it so much and it ruined many takes. Emma Watson couldn't help laughing eveytime the golden trio (Hermione, Harry and Ron), shot a scene with Luna Lovegood's father (Xenophilis Lovegood). Later, Emma revealed that the actor who played Xenophilis (Rhys Ifans) even called Emma 'Giggles' for laughing so much. But she wasn't the only one. Rupert Grint (Ron) also payed a lot of money since he couldn't help laughing at everything, including the serious scenes. In some takes (such as Unbridge slapping Harry's face) you can see Ron silently smirking in the background. Finally, there's the two oppsosites,Daniel Radcliffe (Harry, himself), and Tom Felton (Draco) both had very different opinions on the movies. Daniel says that it's very embarrassing to look at and after filming wrapped up, he barely watched the final movies since it was too awkward for him to watch. Later, he also moved on to many different acting projects, all very different from Harry Potter. There's also people saying that him and J.K. Rowling (the author) did not have such a good relationship either. On the other hand, Tom Felton openly talks about Draco to this day. He's always on livestreams and videos dressing up as Draco, his room is filled with Slytherin posters, banners, and numbers and one of his most popular acting projects recently was playing grown up Draco Malfoy on the live version of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, truly embracing his past self and continuing to be the true Draco Malfoy.
Everyone's favourite fall TV show is GILMORE GIRLS! How could you not enjoy watching Rory graduate highschool and eventually Yale? Along with Lorelai's wackiness and her very own personality. It's amazing, so disappointing that it got removed from Netflix. The show also won many awards such as one of the best TV shows, Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore)also won recognition and an award as one of the best actresses and Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) and Keiko Agena (Lane Kim) got recognition and awards as some of the best young actresses. However, despite all these amazing awards and recognition there are some many shocking behind-the-scenes facts. First, did you know that Alexis didn't like coffee AT ALL. Pretty surprising since Rory and Lorelai seem like major coffee addicts. Also Luke, the famous diner owner, was almost going to be a girl! I don't think Scott Patterson (Luke Danes) would be too pleased about that. They were going to originally have the character be a female diner owner named Daisy but the network requested more male characters so they ended up making Luke the character we know today. You know all the food in the scenes that Lorelai and Rory got to eat? At first, Lauren and Alexis tried to eat all the food but realised how impossible it would be. Instead, they had to rely on something called 'spit buckets' which meants that they could also take multiple takes.Finally, Keiko was 27 when she first started playing the 16-year old teenager Lane Kim. That meant she was closer to Lorelai's (the character, 36) age than Rory's (the character, 16)!
We all LOVE Roald Dahl's Matilda book don't we? Well what if I told you that there were over 60 hidden words embedded into the background during the movie that basically no one could find? Yes, words such as 'atmospheric' and even 'spangly' were hidden in the background while the true action happened in front of it. Also, the signs/badges on the children's blazers, they were designed by Sir Quentin Blake, the original illustrator for the original Matilda books. What an honor to be able to wear something desgined by Blake himself! There was also something referred to as a hug ban since Emma Thompson (Ms. Trunchbull) kept giving the younger actors hugs in between takes but the directors had to ask her to stop since the children were terrified of her. During the chocolate cake scene with Bruce Bogtrotter, they made and destroyed around 150 cakes just for that scene! There were also many songs that didn't make the final cuts and, because of this, they ended up getting rid of some characters too since they didn't have much meaning to the musical anymore. Some people included Matilda's brother Michael and supposedly Mrs. Wormwood's dance partner Rudolpho. The statue of Ms. Trunchbull at the front of the school? It's real! A whopping 7.5 meters (24.6 feet) tall and was made out of polystyrene and sprayed with heavy vinyl for texturing and strength.
Geek Girl with the diverse plot. A British geeky schoolgirl later becoming a high-end supermodel such a shocker, no?. Well, you know the drill, here's some fun behind-the-scenes fatcs about the series. First, Emily Carey (Harriet Manners) had only dyed part of her hair the vibrant orange-red, the rest of it was simply a U-part wig that blended seamlessly with the rest of her hair. Another fact is that both the lead actor and the author were autistic in reality. Emily said that her autism helped her bring her character to life, by simply acting like her own past experiences. Something that many people don't know is that in the book, Poppy isn't meant to come up until book 2. For the Netflix version, they changed some things so that Harriet could meet her bully pretty quickly in the series. Everyone knows how Harriet and Nat are inseperable BFFs, well for Emily and Rochelle (Nat), that wasn't too hard to fake since they became instant besties once they met for a chemistry read. They even spent their free time exploring Canada and London together. Finally, the stylish male supermodel Nick Park, well Liam Woodrum (who plays Nick) didn't audition to begin with. The producers were on social media stalking for someone who could easily give off Nick's effortless and natural main model energy.
