Requirements for extras in films

After studying ads like "extras actor needed" you can conclude that there are practically no requirements for them when recruiting, although the choice is made "under the influence" of the script. As a rule, the following is required:

• punctuality – you need to arrive for filming on time, being late is out of the question;
• patience – sometimes filming can last twelve hours;
• attentiveness – you need to listen to the extras director and strictly follow his instructions;
• stamina – costumes and make-up, which you need to stay in for a long time, can cause many unpleasant moments and create a lot of discomfort.

Even a minor role as an extra requires the performer to be collected. He should not forget why he is on the set and be distracted by extraneous things. At the same time, he must treat other participants in the filming with respect, not ask celebrities for autographs and behave professionally.
