What is an extra movies?

An Extra Movies job typically involves working as a background actor or extra in film and television productions. Extras are non-speaking performers who help create realistic crowd scenes and add depth to a production. These roles do not require extensive acting experience but do require reliability and the ability to follow direction. Extras may work long hours and need to be flexible with scheduling. While the job may not be highly paid, it can offer valuable experience and opportunities to network in the entertainment industry.

What can I expect during a typical day working as a movie extra?

As a movie extra, your day often starts with early call times and checking in with the casting or production coordinator. You may spend significant time waiting in holding areas before being called to set, where you will follow instructions to help create realistic background scenes. Days can be long, and schedules might change frequently based on production needs, so flexibility is important. You'll work under the guidance of assistant directors and interact with other extras and occasionally principal actors. Participating as an extra offers valuable on-set experience and insight into the filmmaking process, and it can open doors to more specialized roles in the industry.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the extra movies position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Extra in movies, you need reliability, the ability to follow directions precisely, and professionalism on set, with no formal education or experience typically required. Familiarity with set etiquette and basic understanding of call sheets and production schedules is helpful, but no specific certifications are necessary. Patience, punctuality, adaptability, and strong listening skills help you stand out and ensure smooth productions. These qualities enable extras to contribute effectively to film scenes, maintain continuity, and support the production team’s workflow.

How do I get a job as a movie extra?

To become a movie extra, you can register with casting agencies or online casting platforms that specialize in background work. Be prepared to provide recent photos, personal details, and availability, and often need to be flexible with schedules and appearances. No formal acting experience is required, but professionalism and punctuality are important.

Job description

Company Description

mxdwn is an online music and entertainment magazine with news, reviews and features about the latest and best in modern entertainment.

Job Description

If you live and breathe movies and love talking about movies, filmmaking, and storytelling, this is the place for you. Editorial writers are expected to be highly interactive with the critical conversation surrounding industry trends, pieces of movie news, and (especially) new and recent releases. 

We are a young and growing company, meaning there is lots of opportunity for your voice to be heard, but please note that this also means there is little to no budget. We do provide press access where we are able, but this is an UNPAID position. 

We Should Talk More If... 

  • You love movies and love talking about movies. 

  • You're excited by ideas and want to drive conversation surrounding movies and movie industry news. 

  • You have demonstrable writing experience, including experience reviewing movies. Please send us two samples or direct links to samples of your best work. Applications without writing samples will not be considered. 

  • You're awesome at internet research and know how to find reputable information about anything in just a few minutes. 

  • You're familiar with the film industry as a whole and understand running industry trends. 

We'll Be Extra Excited If... 

  • You've worked in the film industry or have prior experience covering the movies. 

  • You know and/or are connected with a particular subsection of the film industry (like if you're the Lion King of all things Disney animation). 

  • You're familiar with things like Wordpress, Google Drive, Slack, and really basic HTML. 

  • You've got a track record of developing unique feature and opinion content. 

  • You can break down a movie and explain complex filmmaking decisions to a lay audience. 

Please tell us about yourself and submit a resume and two recent movie editorials with the subject line "Features Writer" followed by the name of your favorite character from Star Wars so we know that you've read and understand all of the above posting and you are not a robot (although C-3PO and R2-D2 are still acceptable answers).
