Screen Acting is when the person is acting for the camera and not for a live audience. This allows them to take there multiple shots and combine them together. This allows the director to enact his vision that he sees down to the exact location of every bug. When one of the actor screws up in the filming of the shots then they just take another take and they can mix the best of all the shots. They can also have as many settings as they can design and place because they use the studio and shoot as many scenes that are needed with this as the set.

If it had been stage acting then there would be a live audience that is watches the performance. If the actors were eventually to screw they would have to move on because they were performing live so they do not get any do overs or mulligans. Stage acting also has to do only with the props that they can create and place in will the curtains are closed or another scene is going on so they are limited to what is carried out for the background and that because it does not look right if everything brought with the actors still acting on the front of he stage unless the curtain is closed.

Stage Acting and Screen Acting are two different types of acting and styles. The main differences between the two styles of acting are the amount of takes. The second thing that is different is props that are used in scene if you are acting on stage props are brought out at a certain and if a camera is used they stop the camera and change the props.
