In case you don't know what bloopers are: They are those outtakes of something going wrong, like a actor not getting his line right. Supposed to be funny. I guess some are. Anyway, I've always been thinking that I can't imagine bloopers to be that legit. You often see a blooper where someone keeps messing up and the whole crew is laughing and haha it's so funny. But wouldn't a director get p***ed off if a actor keeps messing up? Or other actors. Wouldn't they get fed up with someone that keeps doing something wrong and then just laughs about it. It does kinda waste everyone's time. Now, I don't think everything has to be super serious or something, but I just can't imagine that bloopers are that real since I don't think everyone has patience when it comes to making movies. I know there sometimes are obvious fake bloopers, especially in animations movies, like Toy Story, but that's not my point. |

They are Fun/Funny (...maybe not i don't know). I like them (... maybe not). I am not really sure on the "how real they are" thing. But I don't think Directors are some Robot Killers, so they obviously laugh & have FUN with the entire crew or else why bother working with them (... i don't know).

Of course some directors may be cool with it and stuff, but if you look at how many actors have freak outs because of unprofessional co-workers or how many people get fired because of messing things up, that just shows that not all are like that, especially because not all of that scandalous stuff actually gets to the public. Some directors might be nice, but in the end, they're doing their job and when a actors doesn't get his line right over and over again, that just makes it take longer to finish the movie and it just makes everyone else have to work for longer and wait for them to get it right. |

I think they're real. I think when it comes to people not remembering lines, other actors would be sympathetic/laugh because they've almost definitely done it once themselves. And directors must see it happen all the time, comes with the territory. |

Yeah, they might get used to it, but shouldn't it kind of also result in them getting sick of it? If you're a director and everytime something like that happens, isn't there a point where it's just not funny anymore and you just want to get over and done with the movie? And yeah SHC, I was thinking a bit of Christian Bale aswell. But just in general, I can't imagine everyone in that business being so easy to work with and always taking things so easy. |

Acting on television or in a film is really hard. Before you can even appear on screen you have to be screen tested to see how you come across on camera. Some people can't get past this part. They just don't look right. Then you have sit in hair and makeup for hours as well as get costume fittings. On top of this you need to be learning your lines. On set is weird too. There are cables all over the place, bright lights and people running back and forth. All whilst your face is plastered in makeup and you are wearing an uncomfortable outfit. This process is very taxing. So no wonder actors forget their lines. From the director's point of view, it depends how much money is being spent on the scenes. If it's just a cheap set with some dialogue then they can afford multiple takes. They will usually want to try scenes from different angles anyway. As well as adjust lighting, costumes and dialogue if it isn't really working very well in practice compared to how it is in the script. If it's a big set piece then it's another matter. Sometimes things can only be done in a few takes. However usually there isn't even that much dialogue in these scenes or it's dubbed over the top later for practical reasons.

A lot of the bloopers from movies like Pirates of the Caribbean are fake and are just clips of the actors screwing around, even off-camera (but still on a camera, just not production shots). Sometimes it's good for actors to screw around because it relieves tension brought on by the emotional roller-coaster ride of acting, particularly in drama or horror movies. Sometimes they are legitimate screw ups though. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Dec 30 2013, 07:13 PM.

I didn't even say it's bad that actors forget their lines. I obviously understand that it's not easy to remember everything. Of course the production crew would understand aswell. The thing is, that it seems like some mess up to be funny or make too much of a joke out of it, like seen in the bloopers. If they would legitimate mess up, everyone would obviously understand and not blame them, but what if someone messes up and thinks it's so funny? Wouldn't that be a little bit irritating to others? And yeah, maybe some direcors are fine with the money and everything or they want to do a few more takes, but I still can't believe that they're ok with getting their time wasted because someone just keeps making a joke out of everything. There just is a difference between messing something up and acting a bit stupid. |

I imagine the director has a say when they think enough is enough when the actors are screwing off. They have to keep deadlines and do scenes in a certain amount of allotted time. If they don't reach deadlines, then a lot of people get pissed off and the actors probably don't get paid. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Dec 30 2013, 07:34 PM.

Yeah, makes sense. Good point. I'm sure some will have enough even before the deadlines though. But either way, I still think that bloopers are a bit over-jolly to the point where it doesn't seem real. |

One response to that: Jackie Chan's films. Especially his older work. |

I was just about to mention Jackie Chan haha ^ In all his old bloopers he always hurts himself in some way. I doubt he'd be doing that on purpose. |

If cracking his skull open in Armour of God was deliberate, I'd have to wonder about Jackie Chan's sanity... |

I think most are real it just depends on the relationship between everyone on set, budget and time constraints. Liar Liar's bloopers It's more lax scenes you see them in never during big stunts or anything, if it's something that can be taken again and again then they get away with being less serious and as said it eases the tension. As for the director getting pissed they wouldn't want to be going crazy at the main actors half way through the film, if they didn't get some amount of leeway the actor could just leave and ruin the movie, it's not like any a-list actors would go bankrupt from not doing one movie so directors would need to tread lightly there. But then on some sets the director has a free pass to fire the actor if the movie has just started filming, they can still be recast so they'll want no nonsense beyond reasonable levels. I like to think that sometimes everyone is just there to make the movie and have fun doing it rather than mmmmmm MONEYYY. |
