The Models
In South Africa, the term Film Industry is generally used to describe a range of Entertainment Media Production activities including Feature films, Television, Television commercials, Stills Photography, Music videos, Corporate and In House media and even Video gaming. Models are in high demand by this Industry.
In South Africa, Models are usually expected to work across all the disciplines of the Industry: Commercials, Stills shoots, Fashion shows etc, as well as promotional engagements. Models are selected or cast by the Producer, Director, Casting Director, Photographer and Magazine Editors. In some cases they may be recommended and booked on the Agents recommendation.
Modelling is open to both male and female Models and people of any ethnic or National background. While some modelling categories can have very specific height or weight requirements, others can be more accessible. Modelling, like Acting or Presenting is a highly specialised area with strict criteria. Babies, Children, Teenagers and Adults of a specific age and who do not fit the Model criteria, are not considered Models. They are referred to as Characters and there are Agencies specialising in this market although most Agencies have a Character division. The Modelling Industry in South Africa is made up of men and women generally ages 14 – 30.
