Log 3: Summary of Project Findings

The project I have undertaken has been an exploration into the role of, and possible career progressions of Supporting Artistes. My aims were to establish if it is possible to progress from being a Supporting Artiste to an actor, to find out whether people that are influential to an actor’s career progression feel being a Supporting Artiste to be beneficial or not, and to find out how professionals such as other extras, actors, agents, production crews and casting teams within the industry perceive the role of a Supporting Artiste.
The results showed that the majority of people felt that it was possible for a supporting artiste wanting to progress into acting to achieve this. It also showed that the majority of people working in the industry valued the role of the supporting artiste, and that casting directors were willing to give supporting artistes who wanted to progress, a chance.
I hope that my project can be used as an informative tool to supporting artistes wishing to progress who are unsure if this is possible, and to people who are not sure about how to get into acting; I hope my project could allow them to consider using supporting artiste work as a route into acting.
