Casting/ Actors

 When researching into hiring actors for the promotional video, I wanted to look into the depths of actors pay is so we could pay them correctly as well as their rights on set as this is very important to understand.

Actors and Actresses are people who portray certain roles for entertainment purposes. Examples of this could be movies, plays, shows, theatre. Actors and Actresses are hiring by them auditioning for specific parts in a production, the directors and producers decide who gets the job or not. 

Typical skills that Actors and Actresses have is that they are able to follow instructions really well, they show up on time as there lifestyle is very fast pace. I included a screenshot of the hourly salary of an actress or actor if they were working a normal job in the uk.

This next screenshot shows how much of a huge difference the gender breakdown is between female and male in the acting lifestyle.

Actors and Actresses are able to protect their rights while working by:

• making recordings of, or board-casting a live performance
• making a recording directly from a broadcast of a live performance.
• making copy of a recording of the performance.
• issuing copies of a recording to the public.
• renting or lending copies of a recording to the public 
• finally, uploading the recording to the internet where it may be viewed by the public.
