Acting on Camera

 

Take Your Acting Skills to the Next Level

 

 

Acting and performance are central to any successful movie. This workshop focuses on approaches that relate to acting for film and video. You'll learn warm-up techniques, basic improv, and acting principles. Through reading and performing scenes from existing scripts, you'll also learn how to interact with your fellow actors while always maintaining your own personal relationship to the camera.

 

Students' monologues and scene work will be captured on video for group analysis. The workshop will conclude with the filming of a scene or scenes demonstrating the techniques you learn in the workshop. You'll also receive a DVD of your monologue and scene work, which can serve as an audition reel for future acting opportunities.

 

What you'll learn:

  • Camera awareness.

  • On-set etiquette and terminology.

  • Utilizing memory, focus, and inner life to enliven and inform your performance.

  • Character analysis.

  • Scene staging and choreography.

The registration deadline is July 10, 2011.
