ST: Acting for the Camera

Catalog description

This will be a team-taught course covering the principles and techniques essential to success in the conjoined worlds of directing and acting for the camera, and as such is a course for both actors and directors. It introduces each to the concepts and language specific to each other's discipline and works to provide each with a fuller understanding of how to collaboratively and creatively create. Areas covered will include auditioning, breaking down scripts, blocking for camera, on-set communications, the proper use of improv, etc. The course will both utilize the TV studio where students can work in front of live cameras in order to immediately see results of their work and out-of-class assignments to further their skills.
