The main difference between a "film test" and an "audition" is that an "audition" has a script and dialogue, and you can rely on other actors or prompters. But a "screen test" or "film test" is a kind of audition to see how well you act on camera. It's about how you perform without a script or many instructions; it's about the actions. Ex: Since I was accepted at the auditions, they want me to do a screen test now. Ex: I'm better at screen tests than I am with scripts.
