The Importance of Extras in Audiovisual Productions

On 12 March the 95th edition of the Oscars was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and, as every year, the world of cinema and the most cutting-edge audiovisual creations were celebrated at a gala full of luxury, stars and eccentricities. However, at AgioGlobal we would like to take advantage of this small celebration of cinema to give special recognition to the extras, those actors who appear on screen in the background and who often go unnoticed. Despite their apparently secondary role, extras are essential to audiovisual production and therefore deserve to be recognised for their great work.

The extras are those actors who appear in films, television series and other audiovisual projects. Often, they do not have lines of dialogue or an important role in the plot, but their work is essential to create a realistic and authentic atmosphere. . In this article, we will explore the importance of extras in the audiovisual world and how their work contributes to the success of a production.

In spite of their seemingly secondary role, extras are essential to audiovisual productions.

The Importance of Extras in Scene Creation

Extras are essential in the creation of scenes in an audiovisual production. Their job is to create an authentic environment for the project. In a film or TV series set in a city, for example, they can act as passersby or bystanders, which helps to create a realistic feel for the city.

Without extras, the scene would appear empty and lifeless, thus affecting the quality of the final project. They often also act as extras in a crowd scene, such as at a concert or a demonstration, which helps to create an authentic and realistic atmosphere.

The Role of Extras in the Success of a Production

They may not play an important role in the plot, but their work is fundamental to the success of a production. A good audiovisual production is one that can transport the viewer to another place or time, and extras are essential to achieve that goal.

A well-created scene, with well-selected extras, can immerse the viewer in the plot and make the experience of watching the production more authentic and realistic. They also help the main actors to feel more comfortable in their role and to concentrate on their performance.

But they are not only important for the artistic quality of audiovisual productions, but also for the industry itself. By hiring a large number of extras, temporary jobs are created. They are also an essential part of the film and television industry, which means that their work is important for maintaining the continuity of film and programme production.
