Movies In FilmsIt could be said that the advent of motion pictures, later simply called movies or films, forever changed the face of acting. Where previously devotees of the live theater visited a specific venue to see actors acting one time, and where the number of persons able to enjoy a performance was limited, films removed limitations of time and space and acting became more readily accessible to many. Today, hundreds of thousands of people may view the same films simultaneously in theatres throughout the world, making the films and acting a magical addition to the performing arts. Films have also added a multitude of new dimensions to acting, with the ability to enhance a story line and the performances of actors with almost limitless visual and sound effects which create further excitement in this field for acting. The introduction to acting in films with sound at first, placed new demands on actors; they had to be able to speak well and convey emotions vocally. Many of the actors in the first silent films, new to acting, lost out...but others became famous and concommitantly wealthy in this new field of the performing arts. Today many live theatre productions, dear to the actors and audiences alike, are translated into films and thus their life is prolonged. Also, stars in on-stage theatre often become stars in films, which is now so important to the acting profession. The life of motion pictures or films is extended into other areas of the performing arts, when popular films are made available on DVD's, film acting performances can be seen again and again in private homes, thus extending the availability of one form of the performing arts into another medium and giving those acting in the films even more exposure. The popularity of films with all their acting and modern special effects extends to young and old in countries throughout the world. It's broad appeal and availability as a performing arts medium has built an entire system through which famous actors, writers, producers and composers are recognized and rewarded for their contributions to the performing arts. This medium for acting and all the film arts has also spawned international festivals where the finest of the year's films are reviewed and recognized, thus further strengthening the power of films through the skills of acting and storytelling.
