Hands-on Intensive Weekend Acting for Camera Workshop

OVERVIEW

Acting for film is not simply knowing character and motivation -- an actor must also know how to use the camera as a tool of expression. The practical knowledge of camera technique is often missed in traditional acting classes.

This course is an intensive, total immersion workshop focusing on the essential techniques of acting in front of the camera.

2-DAY ACTING FOR FILM WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

ACTING FOR FILM
Students learn the basics of film acting: calibrating performances based upon shot size and angle, eye line, hitting marks, emotional and physical continuity, and strength and imagination in acting choices. Students are assigned scenes from TV and Film to work in this class.

AUDITION TECHNIQUE
Acting is as much of a business as it is a craft. In addition to training, successful actors must develop strong marketing skills in order to build a career. These sessions focus on such topics as feeling comfortable at cold readings, preparing a resume, choosing a head shot photographer, and developing a career strategy. Additionally, actors will work with scenes from TV and Film.

Actors can expect a full weekend, all day Saturday and all day Sunday, from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. each day with two coffee breaks and a lunch break.
