Acting on Camera

 

     

Acting is one thing--acting on camera is a whole different animal!

 

Whether you've acted in plays and skits or have never had the confidence to give acting a try, this workshop can be your introduction to the unique challenges (and big time excitement) of acting for the camera. The course material covers the difference between close-ups, over-the-shoulder, medium and long shots, along with techniques for hitting marks, continuity, and staying in frame.

 

Two instructors and a crew member will aid you in getting the best possible performance for your on-air acting debut. You will receive monologues and scripts to memorize a few weeks before the workshop, so you can get the most from this two-day intensive acting workshop. A group scene shot in the workshop will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival Finale Screening on Saturday, July 26, 2008.

 

Program highlights:

  • A monologue and film scene workshop that teaches young actors how to read a script, take direction, and act in front of a camera. You'll receive your scripts in advance so you can hit the ground running on the first day.

  • Coaching on audition techniques and audition etiquette.

  • A DVD of a movie scene filmed during the workshop.

The registration deadline for the Acting on Camera Workshop is June 30, 2008.
