Acting For Film and Television

Catalog description

The course builds on the skills set necessary to act in front of the camera. The course aims to help students re-channel the physical energy required for stage to more intimate behaviors-driven acting needed for on-camera work. The class will be taught in a hands-on lab style approach. Physical movement, blocking, as well as "cold reading" of the script and work situations similar to actual "episodic" programming experiences will be covered. Included are space and fourth wall exercise, personalization and substitution work. Actors will perform in a multiple-camera studio. Performances will be played-back and critiqued at every session.
