Adapting from stage to screen

Adapting from stage to screen is an exciting journey for actors of any calibre. On stage, performers use their voices and bodies to connect with the audience in a live setting. But when it comes to the screen, there are some key differences to consider. 

First off, one major difference is the size of your performance. On stage, you have to project your voice and movements to reach the back of the theatre. But on screen, the camera captures every subtle expression and whisper. It's all about finding that balance and adjusting your performance accordingly. Additionally, the camera becomes your closest confidant on screen. It captures the smallest nuances of your performance, so it's important to be aware of your facial expressions, body language, and eye contact. Remember, the camera can often pick up the tiniest details that the audience might miss in a live performance, you are no longer filling a room - just a frame.

Another thing to keep in mind is the technical aspect of filming. Unlike the stage, where you have one continuous performance, on screen, scenes are often shot out of order. This means you need to maintain consistency in your character's emotions and actions, even if the scenes are filmed weeks apart. It can be a challenge, but it's also an opportunity to explore different layers of your character, getting to know a script inside and out is a great way of improving your skills, this is because you will gain a complete understanding of it and be able to perform scenes more comfortably if it is shooting non-linear. 

Lastly, working with a director is crucial in the world of screen acting. Unlike the stage, where you have more freedom to interpret your character, on screen, the director's vision takes precedence. Be open to their guidance and collaborate to bring your character to life in the best way possible.

Adapting from stage to screen can be an exciting and challenging transition for actors. It's all about embracing the differences, honing your skills, and adjusting your performance to fit the medium. If you are wondering if the move is possible it most certainly is! Many great screen actors started their career on stage such as Meryl Streep, Hugh Jackman and Morgan Freeman.
