Not only professional actors star in films, TV series or advertising. Advertising agencies and media content development studios are constantly in need of new faces, so everyone has the opportunity to appear on the TV screen. Where to start and how to prepare for filming - we’ll look at the answers to these questions below.

• Real self-esteem:

Look carefully at your photos, or better yet, ask your friends for help. If they unanimously see a relaxed, confident and charismatic person in the photo, feel free to move on to the next step.

• Photos:

Select a couple of photographs - one full-length and one where close-up the face is visible. It is advisable that the photographs be taken in the studio, since no one will accept a low-quality home photograph. Print some of the photos, leave the rest in electronic format. On the back of the printed photo, write your contact information, date of birth and experience in filming (if any).

• Extra skills:

Increase your chances of a positive outcome - take training at a modeling school or sign up for acting classes. This will help you sincerely express the range of emotions, match the desired image, and act freely and confidently when filming begins.

• Applications:

Create several profiles on casting agency websites, send out applications for participation and don’t forget about photographs.

Casting for advertising and cinema

After approval of applications, you must come for an interview with the director. Depending on personal preferences, this will be an advertising studio or a production center. In the case of a movie casting, you will be sent a text by email in advance. It needs to be learned and rehearsed in order to appear prepared for the casting. If you chose casting for advertising, the text will be given on the spot.

First of all, they will test your skills in the form of a small shoot - a story about yourself in the frame. If you meet the initial requirements, then next you will have an on-camera dialogue with the director or director.

Sometimes this dialogue is handled by experienced actors. Remember that time is limited, so don’t be shy, but show your desire and abilities from the first take. When the checks are completed, you and the other selected actors should go to the dressing room and sort out the clothes for the role. Casting for advertising and cinema is considered completed when the shooting days are announced to you.

Casting nuances:

• If you are attracted by a cheap advertising shoot (up to 300 rubles), then you can do without casting. Photos and a telephone conversation with an agent are enough.
• If you are interested in a role in a movie, then without a theater education or a specialty as an actor, you will not pass the casting. The exception is extras, where education is not required.

Casting for extras

For extras you will also need high-quality photos. So deal with them first. Then, visit two sites:

• casting portal No. 1 kastingi.com, where experienced actors and newcomers are invited to films, TV series, advertising, music videos, extras;
• social network actors and models No. 1 tttv.ru - there you will find information about upcoming videos and vacancies.

Place your profiles on these sites along with photos and information about yourself. For extras, applications are processed quickly. All you have to do is wait for a call from the director, agent or director.

Moscow welcomes talent or something worth thinking about

To get to the casting and filming, it’s not enough to fill out forms. The fact is that all filming begins in Moscow. If you live in Moscow, then you are lucky, but if not, you will have to pack your bags, because no one is involved in the selection via Skype.

Imagine a picture where a director is holding auditions for advertising, and more than two hundred people are vying for one place - it’s much faster to weed out the unnecessary ones from the crowd than to have entertaining conversations with everyone who wants it. Even for extras and background videos, a personal presence in Moscow is required.

Prepare for the fact that you will not pass the casting the first time. So you need to seriously think about an apartment or a hotel in the glorious city of Moscow. There are cases when people are not chosen for filming for months, and they are not paid for their usual presence.

Therefore, before going to Moscow, stock up on money.

The next problem is called PR. Even mere mortals need to make themselves known. And the louder the better, because then people will pay attention to you much faster. PR is created with a large number of profiles on acting websites or in other ways that your imagination suggests. The main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to end up on the black list of inadequacies.

By the way, to participate on some acting sites, you will have to open your wallet: the sites give more role-playing projects to those who pay.

When you manage to settle in Moscow and get into crowd scenes, filming commercials, or even win a small role in a movie, remember - you won’t be filming every day, and payment occurs at the end of the shooting day (the average daily cost for beginners is from 100 to 1000 rubles , without stability). So, if you are not the child of an oligarch, take care of additional income.

• Summarize. To get into films and highly paid commercial filming, you must follow the five P rule:
• obtain a higher acting education and have work experience;
• settle in Moscow;
• promote yourself on the way to the role;
• constantly look for vacancies on acting websites;

attend all castings.

If there is no acting education, then there is another option - extras, groups, surveys, etc. for a cheap fee. Only compliance with points 2 to 5 remains the same.

Also, if you are interested in low-budget advertising shooting, you can do without points 1 and 5.

Voice acting for advertisements and films

• To get into the database, leave a form on the recording site. The next step is to add your own processing of an excerpt from any videos. The editing program Edius will help you process the material. To do this, cut out an excerpt and voice the character in your own way (voice-over program Sound Forge). Then all you have to do is connect the sound and recording, save the result in AVI format and send it to the sound recording database.

• It is useful to first learn the secrets of intonation. You'll understand why this is necessary if you've ever heard a boring goblin voice dubbing TV series and movies. In the case of professional film studios and popular TV channels, such material will not be accepted. Be prepared to settle in Moscow when a company or studio becomes interested in your voice.

It doesn’t matter what a person who has embarked on the path of art and creativity does—starring in TV series, dubbing films, or just standing in the background. The main thing is that he enjoys these activities and achieves his goals. And if television work is done with soul and improved, it will appeal not only to the creators, but also to the audience.

If you are asked to remember the Bounty advertisement, the blue surface of the ocean, hot white sand and tropical palm trees, near which a dark-skinned beauty is resting, languidly eating chocolate, will immediately appear before your eyes. The bright picture beckons, you also want to be in this heavenly place and forget about problems, business and slushy weather. Where are these natural beauties located? Does it really exist? Mysterious Island Bounty?

A little excursion into geography

In fact, Bounty is not one island , and a whole archipelago consisting of 13 tropical islands. Geographically they are located in Pacific Ocean, southeast of . These islands were discovered back in 1788. They were noticed by sailors of an English ship sailing past, which was called the Bounty. It was in his honor that they named open archipelago. As Wikipedia says, total area The islands are only 1.35 square meters. kilometers.

Advertisers borrowed only the sonorous name from this archipelago. The appearance of any island included in the Bounty has nothing in common with the picture captured in the video. Bare rocks with seals, albatrosses and penguins living on them meet not vacationers on their shores, but scientific expeditions studying the life of these creatures in natural conditions. A century ago, these places aroused professional interest among hunters. Today, due to the unique fauna, the islands of the Bounty archipelago are under the protection of UNESCO. These places are not inhabited by people.

Video release date

A luxurious picture of heavenly life, released by local television companies, was seen by residents of Tver, Novosibirsk, Volgograd, Ufa, Chelyabinsk and other megacities. The main character of the video, like the TV viewers, does not completely separate reality from fantasy, but the fact that she experiences “heavenly pleasure” is beyond doubt.

Filming locations

So where was the colorful video about paradise island? After all, it was not a prop, which means there must be such an island! You may be surprised, but for the filming he was involved not one tropical island, but six. And all - one more beautiful than the other:

• Crete (Greece);
• Phuket (Thailand);
• Samui (Thailand);
• Saona (Dominican Republic);
• Rarotonga (Cook Islands).

Keep this list in mind, maybe you will be able to fulfill your dream and find yourself in a fairy tale, even if only for a short time.

What do these resorts offer?

Maldives unite about 1200 coral islands, each of which is part of the state. But only 200 of them can be called inhabited. Local beaches characterized by a secluded atmosphere. This perfect place for people tired of civilization, thirsting for peace, romance and unity with nature - the real Bounty beaches.

Crete What distinguishes it from other fabulous places is the presence of developed infrastructure. Young couples and families with children can have a great rest here. Everyone will find what they need. It benefits from a mild climate, a large number of hotels, and sandy and pebble beach areas. It's well organized here leisure: You can ride horses. go fishing or hunting. If you look for the disadvantages of this place, the only one would be its crowdedness.

A very diverse crowd arrives. Decent mothers with children and cheerful bachelors in search of sexual adventures - you won’t meet anyone here. Phuket is famous for its cleanest beaches. Tired of passive relaxation, it is quite possible to dilute it with an excursion program.

Samui embodies holiday dreams and the most serene atmosphere. This is where most of the advertising videos were shot: “bounty is a heavenly pleasure.” Four decades ago the island was completely untouched. Nowadays there are both modern hotels and bungalows at your service.

Saona - most large island Dominican Republic Fishermen's settlements are concentrated in the center of the island, the rest of it remains deserted. Here you can give yourself a secluded holiday or at least come here for an unforgettable excursion, as well as take dozens of stunning photos as a souvenir and remember this holiday on winter evenings.

Rarotonga is the central island of all the Cook Islands. wild nature combined with the original Polynesian culture will hit you in the heart and you will definitely want to come back here again. The local population is very friendly towards tourists and is ready to share with them the joys of quiet fishing and other accessible pleasures.

Moreover, such a video is a good way for the resort to advertise itself. One catch - the name of the filming location is usually left behind the scenes, and finding it is not always as easy as it seems.

Paradise Island

The view of the endless ocean with clear blue water, beautiful white beaches and green palm trees makes you think of going not to the store for a Bounty bar, but to the travel agency for a ticket to this fairy island extraterrestrial pleasure.

The truth is that there are about a dozen Bounty commercials in total and they were filmed in different places. The name of the main coconut paradise is the island (Thailand), where, in addition to the beauties shown in the video, there is the world's largest coconut plantation.

In addition to Koh Samui, the Bounty crew was spotted on Karon Beach (Phuket, Thailand), Vai Beach (Crete, Greece), and on Saona Island (Dominican Republic).

Rio de Janeiro

According to the senior director of marketing at Lay's Global, Christina Kenz, it was with her wonderful views that she was able to bring a sense of positivity to the video and add sunny emotions.

Shetland Islands

A funny video with a dancing pony who managed to master the moonwalk was recognized as one of the most successful advertising campaigns of 2013, collecting 4 million views on YouTube in just a week of broadcasting.

The filming of the video took place on the Shetland Islands for six days, and, according to members of the crew, they had to be well insulated: in November, this Scottish archipelago is famous for its unpredictable, but definitely harmful weather.

Italian Riviera

The creators of an advertisement for Galaxy chocolate, released in Russia under the Dove brand, began reviving the legendary Hollywood star Audrey Hepburn with the help of modern computer technology. Audrey does not want to come to terms with the prospect of traveling in a stuffy bus and, under the slogan “Why choose cotton when you have silk,” she moves into an open car with a handsome Italian. Followed by short trip through the city of Amalfi, ideally suited to the image created by Audrey in the film “Roman Holiday”.

Amalfi is a charming town on the Gulf of Salerno, primarily known for its original architecture. The houses here are connected to each other by staircases carved into the rock, and the roofs serve as gardens for the residents. Amalfi does not produce chocolate, but it produces delicious pasta and Limoncello liqueur, the most popular local drink in Italy after Campari.

A tropical forest

Advertising campaign eau de toilette Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani was launched in 2010, but the video with the lovely American model Emily Di Donato can still be caught on TV. The forest through which the girl walks in the rain, enjoying her freedom, the rocky shore and the deserted beach belong to where the filming took place.

When launching the fragrance, Giorgio Armani himself admitted that the idea for its creation came to the designer during summer holiday on the islands of Antigua (Caribbean Sea) and Pantelleria (Mediterranean Sea). But Hawaii was also quite able to convey the full range of sensations from the new eau de toilette.

San Francisco

The new BMW X4 commercial, released in June of this year, was filmed entirely in . During a trip around the city, accompanied by motivating slogans, not only the advantages of a car of this brand are demonstrated, but also all the city’s beauties with an emphasis on the famous suspension bridge, which connects San Francisco with the city of Oakland.

Argentina

A video of Guinness beer, where city residents put together a huge chain of dominoes from all surrounding objects, glorified not only the advertised product, but also the city in which the video was filmed.

After the release of the video, there was an unexpected influx of tourists in the small Argentine village of Iruya: many wanted to try Guinness beer in the very place where the famous video was filmed. However, oddly enough, beer of this brand was never sold directly in Iruya, so those who came only for this purpose were disappointed.

Advertising stunt

The natural world around us gives us its beauty; it makes us look at everyday things in a completely different way. Companies involved in this business understand this very well and use this move in their promotions. This is especially true of the beautiful tropical islands. These paradises They are very popular among tourists, and the video footage of any such island evokes a lot of pleasant impressions. However, it is quite difficult to say with certainty where the Bounty advertisement was filmed, because there are hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of such wonderful places on our planet. Everyone perfectly saw the soft golden sand, the turquoise of the sea wave and, of course, as an apotheosis - the coconut donating its pulp to milk chocolate. The result is a taste appreciated by lovers of sweets. Such islands of happiness can be found in Thailand, the Maldives, and the Dominican Islands.

Versions and assumptions

So, where was the Bounty commercial filmed? The translation of the word itself means generosity. With their video, the brand owners seem to emphasize natural diversity, its richness, and invite us to experience personal experience all the delights of heavenly pleasure. Indeed, many coastal parts of tropical islands are strikingly similar to each other, and only an avid traveler can understand the nuances of this or that place. Saona from the Dominican ridge is mentioned as one of the options for the island where the Bounty commercial was filmed. The honor of its discovery belongs to the famous Italian, who was in the Spanish service, - But this place remained far from the warlike conquistadors, and therefore retained its pristine beauty. Magnificent sandy beaches, the stunning play of colors in the waters washing the shores of the island are ideal for the concept of the Bounty brand. But it’s not a fact that they filmed there.

Nature and advertising

There are many more places on Earth with stunning nature that can boast of gorgeous views, provincial silence and attractive simplicity of life. Exists a large number of speculation as to where the Bounty ad was filmed. Crete, as one of them, is quite suitable for these purposes. The island is not only beautiful place for recreation, but also has a rich historical heritage. Therefore, the authors of the video could have deliberately chosen it, emphasizing the bliss and luxury of ancient Greek symposiums. But there is one inconsistency in the advertisement: a coconut, falling from a palm tree, breaks on the ground, demonstrating its snow-white flesh, and coconuts do not grow in Crete. Therefore, this island is not a suitable place for the video. “And yet, what is it like, the island where the Bounty commercial was filmed?” - a natural question arises. One version offers Thai Koh Samui: the largest coconut plantation is located there, the beaches are quite varied, but they fit well into the general idea of ​​heavenly pleasure. However, the region where the Bounty ad was filmed is not so important; what is much more important is the natural bounty that the Earth gives us in abundance.
