Sample answers of QUESTION ANSERS OF 2017-acting papaer

  Q1.Art - vs -Entertainment "longest running debate "


1. Cinema is an art form, though very expensive.Hence it is  also being rewarded by coveted awards
internationally known as Oscar,Palm D’or, National awards for the artists involved in filmmaking  for more
than 15 categories like Director/cinematographer/editor.
People go to cinema hall to watch a film as a special event with their friends and family, hence they need
to be entertained.Now the definition of entertainment could vary from person to person. For some people
realistic films could be more entertaining  than the fake or imaginative world of fantasy ..For some people
“ unrealistic comedy” could be entertainment for them, like david Dhawan’s film, which will never receive
any national award or selected in international film festivals but rewarded at box office.
But there are films which are based on real issues of day to day life and also has star cast, like PADMAN,
which receive both critical acclaims and mass appreciation.
If the Director can blend sensibilities with commercial values, like songs/star cast,it will be critically
appreciated as  well as rewarded at the box office.

Q 2.Central Board of film Certification is not only responsible for giving certification to films but is also
accountable for preserving the culture and tradition of India, comment.

if one read carefully the mandate of the CBFC ,it is more concern about film should provoke Violence
among audience, should create Rift between various religions.The major concern is that what kind of
films 
should be certified which will be suitable for Gen Public including children's.
It never mention anywhere that : they should preserve culture or tradition. How they can when CBFC is
not producing film. Infact this mandate is of “children's film society “ , films division , NFDC etc... 

Do you think acting can be learnt but cannot be taught.


If something can be learnt,it means it can be taught. If it cannot be taught then why NSD /FTII /RADA and
many more such reputed institute are conducting acting courses . It simply implies that it can be taught .
There must be some principles,which can be guiding rules to follow for an actor .From time memorial
Natyashastra is considered as the best  treatise on the rules of performing art.
Though we can also learn acting by observing behaviours of people in day to day life. What actually we
do when we act . We become somebody else and we don't remain what we are. It means we adopt the
mannerism ,body language,diction of the character we are playing. Rehearsals help in improving the
Performance .One of the best way to learn is also by analysing the performance of great actors/in cinema
and theatre.By studying various books one can always brush up one knowledge on acting.Books like AN
ACTOR PREPARE are considered as bible in the actor community.
Brief Note on any two of the following quotes:
1. I love acting as it is much more real than the life.
Nothing can me more real than the life.Life is the ultimate reality.In Fact when we act we are not real as
we are. We try to be somebody else ,hence we are in world which actually belongs to somebody
else.How perfectly we can become somebody else is the whole game of an acting,so that it should look
effortless to the audience.why we love acting because living by oneself you starts getting bored. But the
moment we play different character than what we are , we love it. The characters we play could be imp
figure in the history or maybe some ordinary one but the process to imbibe the character is very
enriching. 
2. There are two types of actors, who says they wants to  be famous and those who are liars.
 It is true that people goes into acting  for, name, money and creative satisfaction. this order may vary from person to person.But
seeking fame is an integral desire to be actor. who do not like to be recognised,being changed by the followers.Who don't wants to
be on TV Shows  and his photographed to be printed in the glossy magazines and on the front page of the dailies. Subsciously one
is seeking this recognition through acting.
