After Auditions?

Question:Ok. So you made the part for one of the main roles. How long would the script be, and if the movie is a full lenght, how long would it take, if you not an SAG member how you take care of school, and when you have to travel for the movie, do the directors pay for your trip, and about how much you get paid for a Non-Sag film???

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Ok. So you made the part for one of the main roles. How long would the script be, and if the movie is a full lenght, how long would it take, if you not an SAG member how you take care of school, and when you have to travel for the movie, do the directors pay for your trip, and about how much you get paid for a Non-Sag film???

A non SAG film may pay nothing, and not offer any help with school or travel, there is not much to enforce those things. But a SAG film would take care of all those things.
But you are way ahead in your dreaming. Most actor's early work in films are one line and one day roles.

Eh?

hmmmm

All these questions are job specific. The people who cast, look after and organize actors give out information such as times/locations/pay/expenses, and it's usually distributed to you through your agent. Feature length movies take years to organize and complete.

Usually scripts run 1 page per 1 minute of screen time. So if it's a feature film (usually 1 1/2 hrs) that's a 90 page script. But you don't have to memorize the whole thing b/c you film it in segments.

Even non-union shows will either need a tutor on set for child actors, or they'll shoot your part during a school break. I did all my acting when I was younger (age 19 and under) and never had to have an on set tutor.

Usually the producer pays your travel expenses and a per diem (daily spending money) if you are filming on location. I did a non-union film in Ireland and they flew me there and put me up in a hotel and paid me a small amount (a few hundred $). If you're non-union, they usually don't pay you anything, or they pay you a tiny amount to make sure you'll show up. They feed you on set (craft services) and will give you a copy of the show for your reel.

I spent my whole childhood wanting to be a star, and I did a lot of small things and a few national television specials and a million indie films. But then I had to grow up and get a real job b/c it's not an easy life being an actor! Now I'm graduating from nursing school and I love it. Take my advice, get a real job and keep acting as your hobby.

Get a copy of the child labor laws, or (Googan Laws) that will help answer a lot of your questions.
