In theatre, the audience asks us to come to them. In film, we ask the audience to come to us. Understanding frame sizes isn’t just cinematography knowledge - it’s essential screen actor craft. “The Filmmaker’s Eye” by Gustavo Mercado breaks down shot composition—and actors need this knowledge just as much as filmmakers do. #FilmActing #ActingCraft #ScreenActing #TheFilmmakersEye #ActorTraining #Cinematography #OnSetActing #CameraWork #ActingTechnique #FilmActor #ActorsOfInstagram #ActingBooks #FrameAwareness #Gavinstenhouse #Actor #actingcoach

Today I want to highlight the excellence of one of my favourite actors of all time and illustrate how specific you can get with text analysis when it comes to informing your characters backstory. Text analysis doesn’t have to be boring! When it’s done right, it’s detective work. And the principles here? They apply to everything—not just Shakespeare. This is foundational craft that translates to any script you’ll ever work on. #PlayingShakespeare #JohnBarton #DavidSuchet #ActingTechnique #TextAnalysis #ShakespeareActors #ActorTraining #ClassicalActing #RSC #ActingCraft #ActorTips #ActingCoaching #GavinStenhouse #actor #actors
