JobChat Film Extra

This week's 'JobChat' looks at the life of a film extra. We met 22-year-old Ben Lewis, who told us what it's like to work on a movie as an extra.

Ben, you're an extra. (1)___

Yes. When you think about actors in films, you usually think about the stars, don't you? You know, people like Nicole Kidman or Natalie Portman or Christian Bale. That's because they play the important roles. But there are lots of much less important roles in a film too. Extras are the people in the background.

(2)___

Let me give you an example. Imagine two stars in a film. They're having a conversation in a restaurant. Well, the restaurant isn't empty. There are people at the other tables, aren't there? They're eating and maybe talking to each other, but you can't hear what they are saying. Those people are extras.

(3)___

That's right! Extras never speak. If you have a speaking role, you're not an extra.

What do you do, then?

Lots of different things! Sometimes you just have to stand somewhere. Sometimes you have to walk down a street. Sometimes – as I said – you're eating in a restaurant. It depends on the film.

You're working at the moment, aren't you? (4)___

Yes, I'm working as an extra on a film for the next two days. It's an action movie, and I've got three different roles. After lunch, I'm playing a policeman. Tomorrow morning I'm a waiter in a restaurant. And then tomorrow afternoon I'm standing by a shop as some cars go past really fast!

OK, so first you're a policeman. (5)___

Well, I'm not doing anything special or saying anything at all in the scene – I'm just sitting in a police car – so it's quite easy to prepare for it. In about half an hour they're giving me my costume. After that, all the extras in my scene are going to the make-up area. There, they'll give us our make-up. At 12 o'clock we're meeting the director. He'll tell us where to go and where the cameras will be. And then, about an hour later, we'll shoot the scene.

It sounds great fun! (6)___

It IS great fun but no, it's not well paid. It's not my main job. It's really just a hobby. I do it for fun – although we do get a small amount of money per day.
