Acting for Camera Level 1
Ever wondered how you can get a part on TV or in a movie, and what would happen if you did? How does a set work? How can a day player fit in and feel confident? This class is designed and tested to give actors of all ages and abilities the understanding and skills required to deliver their performance on camera while developing solid scene study techniques. From audition to on-set execution, this class prepares you to do your best. The course covers the technical aspects of acting, from hitting your mark to understanding frame size and sound overlap. Each participant will complete tasks focused on technical accuracy while working on character development for a scene study. Upon completion, each actor will receive an honest appraisal of their strengths and weaknesses and will take away their scene in a digital video format.
