Firstly, it appears that systemic methods or theories of film acting are difficult to be found and film analysts tend to borrow acting theories from theatre when doing research. Secondly, while multimodal relations in episodes of film have been researched by multimodal scholars (van Leeuwen 1991, 2005; Bateman et al 2012) few scholars have yet explored the semiotics in film acting. This paper takes a social semiotic perspective to study the facial acting of film actors, in particular the acting of Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn and Eddie Albert in the 1953 classic <em>Roman Holiday</em>. It will explore how the facial acting skills work together with directing, filming and editing techniques to engender meaning potentials and to develop story and characters.<br><br><strong>Zhen Zhang (UTS) </strong>is a PhD student of Communication in Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
