Some Facets of the Human Figure in Fiction Film

Margrit Tröhler, Henry M. Taylor

The study deals with the description and naming of different facets of the character in the film and is based on existing professional terminology. Thus, the authors gradually define the terms: film character, person, personality, actor, figure, filmed body, character of the character, protagonist, main and minor characters, hero, heroine, type and role, image and star.

Keywords: characters in film; cast; actresses; film stars; actors; supporting roles; heroines in film; heroes in film
