How to get to the filming of programs. Examples of vacancies filming extras for money

The reasons may vary.

Get behind the scenes and see how your favorite show is created.

Look closely at famous personalities. Make sure that Malakhov really speaks so quickly, and that the “live” Urgant is more charming than the “evening” one.

Get on TV. At least somehow, at least briefly, with one sleeve or left ear, but show yourself to the whole country.

Earn some extra money. In a desperate situation, even a small amount can make life easier. A huge advantage of working as a viewer on television is that you get paid immediately after filming ends.

Find out new information, get some bonuses, useful things. For example, on Elena Malysheva’s program “Live Healthy,” sometimes they conduct an examination of viewers as an example.

Participate in a discussion on a topic that concerns you.

Most often, viewers are needed for the filming of talk shows - to create an environment for the characters of the program.

There are two reliable ways to find such a job:

Apply for a vacancy on large audience search sites (massovki.ru, telepropusk.ru, etc.).

The second option is the most reliable, since you will communicate directly with the editors of the program you want to attend, and not with intermediaries. In addition, everyone has different requirements for viewers, and it is not easy to come up with a general list of conditions. Somewhere they want to see stylishly dressed young people; on other talk shows they invite older people who have formed an opinion on the topic of the program. The only requirement is to have a passport. It is needed to obtain a pass to the set.

Is it profitable to be a spectator?

For filming a program they pay an average of 300-600 rubles. But there are also fees of 800-1000 rubles. And this shooting can last several hours. So consider: time to get to the studio, registration, seating, shooting for 2-4 hours or longer, getting money, going home. An hour will cost an average of 50-100 rubles. Can this be considered work? Rather, it is a part-time job or a pleasant pastime with symbolic rewards and new bright impressions.

How it all happens

Nina Nikolaeva

Student, 20 years old

I took part in the filming of Ice Age. I love this show and have always wanted to see how similar shows work from the inside. I went to the shoot with my friend. We found a site that was recruiting extras, registered, and we were told where and what time we needed to come.

We found the studio easily, but they didn’t let us in right away. It just so happened that we were late and people had already entered. After some time, the woman who was in charge of the audience drew attention to us and led us into the hall. She said that they needed young people with good looks.

There were a lot of people in the studio, the hall was completely filled. The seats were not chosen by ourselves - the spectators were seated depending on their appearance. Those who were prettier were taken to the first and second rows. Also, everyone was distributed by color: so that they wouldn’t sit next to each other in clothes of the same colors. We were lucky - we were seated in the second row.

We waited for more than half an hour for everything to start. The shooting lasted a very long time, more than four hours. The participants had to skate their entrances, after which the presenters were filmed separately. By the way, it was cool in the hall; you couldn’t wear jackets in the front rows. We sat covered with scarves.

I really wanted to eat. It’s good that you took food and water with you, since there was nowhere to buy it. They were allowed to go to the toilet, but they were not allowed to use cell phones. In the middle of filming, a break was announced for 20 minutes. At least we warmed up.

It was interesting to watch the program afterwards. We sat in the center, and each number began right in front of us, so we managed to get into the frame several times.

It was hard to sit for so long, constantly clapping. And since we were in the most visible place, we still had to smile and rejoice all the time. In the end, it was very annoying that the presenter forgot the text, and she was filmed several times.

At about ten o'clock in the evening the filming finally ended, and then the stampede began. It took about twenty minutes to get out, the crowd was terrible, everyone was tired and aggressive. At the exit, each spectator was given 600 rubles. No contracts were signed, no statements were signed. and - free.

I don't regret participating in the filming. Of course, I wanted to take a photo with one of the stars, but they didn’t allow me. 600 rubles is a small payment, considering that you still need to get to the studio and that the shooting lasts 4-6 hours. But as an experience - why not? I would go to other programs, but only those where I would go for free.

If you decide to become a television viewer, be prepared for the following:

you may have to sit in your place for 3-4 hours (filming the program lasts several times longer than it takes to air),

you will smile and applaud not when you want, but at the command of your assistant,

you may be bored, in this case, calm yourself down with thoughts about the fee,

It may happen that you will not see yourself in the finished program.

How to get into the frame if you still dream of fame and not a fee

If you really want to see yourself on TV, watch a couple of episodes of the program (many can be found on the Internet). Do they show spectators there? Pay attention to what they are wearing, how they are seated around the hall, do they often appear in the frame? Take a close look at the characters who appear most often and compare them with those sitting in the back rows. Do you want to be in the first place? Dress up and try to look the same.

When using materials from the site, an indication of the author and an active link to the site are required!

People go to a TV show as a spectator or a character for various reasons. Some sincerely believe that this could be the beginning of a great career on television. Others hope to receive a substantial fee for an interesting time spent. Still others go for new sensations - it’s great to be on the set of a popular program, to see famous presenters and celebrity guests with your own eyes!

It seems to many that only a select few or slightly more fortunate people than themselves participate in television projects. Is it so? The editors of the site talk about some ways to become a participant in a TV show.

Method 1. Excursion

Yandex and Google find an excursion called “How TV shows are made” with the first request. It consists of a walk around the Ostankino television center and filming in a program that-must-not-be-named with Elena Malysheva, and if you don’t know, then it’s good that this cup has passed you by.

During the 2-2.5 hour excursion you will see the studios of famous television projects, as well as the famous Ostankino staircases and corridors in which the cult films “Sorcerers”, “Brother-2” and many others were filmed. But your finest hour awaits you on the set of the program “Live Healthy!” — Elena Malysheva often uses guests to demonstrate educational skits about our health (the main thing is not to wear a sweater with a high neck, if you know what we mean).

To participate in the excursion and obtain a pass to the Ostankino television center you will need: an original Russian passport (for children over 10 years old - birth certificate), registration in Moscow or the Moscow region (if any), a travel document upon arrival in Moscow for up to 90 days (for guests of the capital, as well as those who do not have a registration document).

Method 2. Castings via the Internet and more

Advertisements for recruiting viewers and participants for TV shows can be found both on special resources like massovki.ru, stunner.ru, birza-truda.ru and others, as well as on the websites of popular programs - for example, urgantshow.ru. Less often, announcements about filming appear in official groups of television projects on VKontakte, Facebook and other social networks; another question is whether they can be trusted.

Method 3: Contact the creators of the show

In the credits of talk shows or television quiz shows, as a rule, they indicate a contact phone number or website address where you can call and tell your story, or fill out an application for participation. It is worth noting that getting through to such numbers can be extremely problematic, and the chance that they will choose your questionnaire filled out on the transfer page is even less.

If you have not yet changed your mind in your search for an “access point” to a project of interest, pay special attention to the organizers’ requirements for guests.

1. Age

At the “Ice Age” show we are glad to see viewers aged 18 to 35 years old, at the music quiz “Guess the Melody!” - from 14 to 40 years old, on the talk show “Let Them Talk” - from 14 to 60 years old, but on the program “About the Most Important Thing” you will only be allowed to film if you are strictly under 45 years old.

2. Clothing and appearance

Everyone is always asked to come to the set of any television project neat and smartly dressed. The only differences are in the color schemes.

On Boris Korchevnikov’s talk show “Live Broadcast” they are asked to be sure to exclude red and dark tops from clothing; viewers in clothes with various inscriptions are not allowed on the “Wait for Me” program, but on the “Fashionable Sentence” show or Yulia Menshova’s program “Alone with everyone” are happy to see spectators in clothes with a bright top.

3. Punctuality

If you are late or for any reason cannot come to the shooting, you must definitely notify the person with whom you recorded.

4. Prohibition on hints and walking around the set

Whatever feelings you have towards the participants of the program, there is no need to shout about it loudly at the recording of the project. This rule applies especially strictly to spectators at various TV games and quizzes. Even if you know the correct answer, but the participant in the program does not, you do not need to prompt him. Whoever this participant is to you. Violators are punished very strictly - the filming is stopped, they are publicly kicked out of the hall, they are refused payment of money and are put on the “black list”.

Spectators are also prohibited from leaving their seats or walking around the site during recording.

5. Prohibition on photo and video filming

The phone must be turned off during the entire shooting, even silent/vibrate mode is strictly prohibited. This is due to the fact that waves from electronic devices can cause defects in picture or sound quality, and in this case it is necessary to reshoot everything from the very beginning.

Taking photographs in the studio, with the presenter, participants and guests is only possible if permitted by the organizers. This can only be done during breaks or at the end of filming.

6. Privacy

There are often cases when, on set, you may be asked to fill out a special non-disclosure document, or you may be verbally told what is prohibited from being disclosed.

As is correct, this concerns the secrets of the production of the program, as well as everything related to the intrigue of the show. It is prohibited to distribute information before the broadcast of the show about which of the participants will leave the show, who will become its winners, what and how many they will receive as prizes.

If you have violated the prohibition from the previous paragraph on photography and video shooting, then you should not post pictures from the “I was here” series. There are special people who monitor and punish violators who leave similar publications about the project on the Internet, including various messages, photos and videos on social networks, video portals, etc.

7. Food and drinks

You must arrange food and drinks for yourself in advance. Often on set there are no buffets or even vending machines for food. Unfortunately, the organizers do not provide drinks and food to the audience in the studio, which means that you must stock up on them yourself and in advance.

Regarding payment work as an extra on television projects, you should not count on a large sum. On average, we are talking about 150-600 rubles for a full shooting day, during which 1 to 4 programs can be recorded. It’s not uncommon for filming to end well after midnight, during which time you must be in your place. If you leave the studio before the director says the final “stop, cut!”, you are unlikely to receive your reward.

I have been filming extras in films and TV shows for more than 5 years. I’ll share tips on how to get into the cinema) and how much you can earn.

Extras ru the most popular resource for booking filming in Moscow. There are recordings in other cities, but much less.

Filming in Moscow, sometimes trips to the Moscow region and other events. The organizers are bringing it.

So. The site looks like a forum. Let's figure out where to look and what to do to get into the crowd.

First register. Simple and clear. Add an avatar.

Let's look carefully at the sections of the site.

Questionnaires- there’s no need to even waste time filling it out. Millions of profiles, hundreds of new profiles every day.

Now to the earnings.

Types of earnings in the crowd.

This is the second section. MOSCOW. INVITATION TO SHOOTING

filming by viewers in broadcasts.

The task is simple: sit in the hall during filming. Always filming in Moscow. Most often in Ostankino there are sometimes other locations around the city.

How to get:

carefully read the age and appearance requirements.
appropriate clothing. If the requirements say dark colors, then if you come in pink, they won’t let you in. Also, the foreman will blacklist you and you won’t get to him.
take a passport with registration or registration, if not, then a return ticket.
During the filming of programs, viewers are not fed. Take food and water. Most often there is nowhere to buy.

Example of an ad.

Adviсe.

Arrive half an hour early, you need to check in with the foreman.
Replacement shoes are a must. It is more comfortable to sit in pumps and sneakers than in tight shoes.
The clothes are comfortable, sitting with your legs clenched for 5 hours in a short skirt is a pleasure.
If the program is about health, then it is better not to go on stage. We all know Elena Malysheva and her program has a great life. Yes, they are sure to pay extra for this, but there is no shame)

I also sometimes go to Live Healthy. Several programs are filmed from 9 am to 5 pm. Paid 500r.

The cost varies and depends on the number of programs. But of course, you won’t earn much money here. Up to 1000 rubles.

Interesting projects

- filming in New Year's issues. Blue light, etc. Just a great atmosphere. Interesting. Is not boring. But it takes a long time and they pay little.

Politics, depending on who you are. I go to Solovyov’s show - one program costs 200 rubles.
Live. - usually there are more requirements for clothing. And as in any filming, do not yawn, do not make noise, do not itch, do not sleep, etc.))

Shooting as an extra in movies and TV series.

This is very interesting.

The projects are different. Filming is ongoing. I can talk about this for hours. Each shoot is unique. There are a lot of locations and images. Most often, filming takes all day and is often delayed.

Payment immediately after the end of the working day.

Common roles: passers-by, medical staff, visitors, etc.

Here I am in the Pyatnitsky series. The role of the journalist.
