One could argue he was an extra if the lines were given to him on the set and he wasn't actually cast, but this is not the case. And also one would be wrong as as soon as he is give a line he becomes a "Day Player" or sometimes called "Under Five."

      And, no. She is an extra, she is not meant to keep running and actually find medical help just because she is not supposed to break character. She is there to appear on the background for a moment, not to build the story.

    • @melody8923
      @melody8923 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The point in the video was that he was a bad extra because he doesn't blend into the background. The fact that he is now handpicked because of that, probably for comic relief, is a result of not being able to blend in. Of course, for the jobs he is _now_ handpicked for, he can't change his appearance, but that wasn't the point originally made in the video as I understood it. In order to better blend in as an extra, as was originally his job, there were things he could have done.

    As a professional Background Actor, some of these do ring true. Regrading the broom sweeping incident (and, no, I wasn't there), all I can offer is this. During takes, absolute silence is often required, because sound equipment is incredibly sensitive. For instance, If someone's shoes are noisy, they get padded. Club scenes, crowded interior/exterior shots are all shot in absolute silence, with the volume being added-in in post-production. Yes, we'll do some takes with volume; but, when you see actors talking, everything else is silent. So, that BG (as we're called) was probably told to 'mime' his action (as we're often told to do), because the sound of the hard-bristles on the floor was, probably, too loud, but he took it too far.

    The title is misleading, because several of these were not the extra's at all! They were faults the director/editor should have noticed, like the Batman Begin's one, the scene was put in the wrong place, that isn't the extra's fault. Or the Home Alone one. You can't blame him for what the internet did! Could have gone with some of the MANY Star Trek goof where extra's are seen several times over attempting to be close to the captain, (Both Kirk and Picard) the Extra's who frequently upstage the leads, and MANY MANY more! Seriously, if you want to see what extra's should not do, watch Star Trek. They get it bad a lot of times.

    In the Batman Begins one, it's because they gave that extra a line, which meant that they had to pay him (and, of course, that the guy could get his SAG card). When they needed another extra to say a line, they didn't want to pay one more extra, so they just had the same guy do both and probably figured, "Who's going to notice someone with so little screen time that much?" Also, if you want to get technical, they could be twins who joined the police force together.

    And btw, number two shouldn't be on this list for two reasons, 1: it's not his fault, he was given some lines of dialogue to say and he did what he was told, it's the directors fault. 2: technically he is not an extra. If you do not say anything throughout the scene and do not interact with the main actors, you are an extra. But the moment you have at least one word of dialogue you are an ACTOR, not an extra.

    I think the guy who says "a what?" in JAWS was meant to be funny. I've always read that as an intentional joke. It also doesn't undermine the scene, there is another funny line that follows it too. When we come back to Richard Dreyfuss and the same guy says something like "what is this bite radius crap? Why don't you stick your freaking head in there and find out its a man eater." to witch Dreyfuss responds with a joke. The scene doesn't become serious until the mother of the boy shows up and slaps Brody. Also, if an extra is given a line they cease to be an extra and are a bit player or bit part. I guarantee that guy was given lines intentionally. Plus he's in other scenes too, when they are loading the boats and hunting for the shark.

    9: Bad editing and bad directing (you could chalk it up to bad second unit work but Nolan doesn't seem to use second unit)
    8: Actually legit bad work of background actors
    7: Sounds like bad continuity errors editing between the footage of the stunt double
    6: Arguable; seems like poor scene blocking
    5: Partly his fault? Sounds like he works around quite a bit so people have begun spotting him
    4: Possible, I've seen some propose me might have been directed to do so to avoid dust kicking up or to keep the sound of the broom being picked up on mic.

    My brother was an extra in a film called the Emperor's Club. In an early scene, while Kevin Kline's character is talking to a student, you can see 2 students walking across the lawn (or path... I can't remember). One of the students (my brother) turns his head, looks at the camera, and starts walking like Shaggy in Scooby-Doo.

    There's also an extra in the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring who's one of the elves, when he aims his bow he gets all wide-eyed. And at the end of Return of the King during Aragorn's coronation an extra as a soldier can be seen hysterically laughing.

      As far as I know, extras don't talk, so if you have at least one line of dialogue, you are called something else. I don't know if there's a specific term for that kind of actor. In French, it's called a "silhouette".

    I was an extra in a German commercial once, filmed at my old workplace. I only wish I'd ruined every scene I was in. I kind of wish I'd set something on fire, too, just for good measure. It was a shitty couple of days, the pay was awful for two 14-hour days and the director, actors, and the rest of the crew treated us like garbage. We weren't allowed in the one air conditioned building and spent all day outside, mostly just waiting around, and they took over the women's bathroom for hair and makeup so that we all had to share the men's bathroom. I remember that the director (some hack nobody'd ever heard of) wore a pink sweater tied around his shoulders and I also remember that we mocked him and the actors and made sure they heard everything we said. They wanted to treat us like trash, we needed to act accordingly. I'd never be an extra in anything ever again.

    A) the term is supporting artist B) It's not always an SAs job to disappear sometimes an SA is in the fore or mid ground. C) if an actor is seen overacting it could be because they have been told to. Often an SA will be intended to be out of focus but still asked to project an emotion so some pantomiming is necessary. If the cameraman doesnt get the memo the extreme expression will be in focus, if that happens and there isn't an alternate take for an editor to use the scene will go out as is but blame tge SA when there are dozens of people creating that shot at different stages. D) Similarly if there is a continuity problem it's not the SA at fault. E) sometimes SAs are asked to mime so the sound engineers don't pick up the sound of an action.
