Konstantin Stanislavski (1863–1938) (Fig. 4.1), the renowned Russian actor, director, theater educator, and theorist, wrote in An Actor Prepares: “The so-called film acting is the art of having actors play the various roles set forth in the script and then acting out the plot of the script in front of the camera.” This underscores the most prominent feature of film acting: its reliance on being captured by the camera and subsequently viewed on the screen. Comparing film acting to theater stage acting, which bears similarities, it becomes evident that the theater actor engages directly with the audience, and the live performance is the ultimate image perceived by them. Conversely, the film actor connects with the audience indirectly via the screen, and the final image of the actor is shaped through the re-creation process involving cinematography, montage, and various other artistic and technical methods.
