:: ACTING ON CAMERA classes provide actors with much needed on going practical weekly camera experience.

Breakdown of a scene, include text, basics of character, conflict and story-line. How the changes in the size of the shot, from the master of a scene to a close-up, affect technique and performance; continuity and how single-camera differs from multi-camera shooting. Professional Directors and Editors make constant choices about whom to cut to. (you want them to cut to you as much as possible) including when the other guy is talking. This workshop will look at listening and expressing thoughts and emotions whilst listening on camera. You'll get to work on several scenes from the latest Film & TV scripts to prepare in advance and can be downloaded from the website.
Please bring a mini-vd or DVD to record takes for your showreel or for agent purposes.

The course runs one night per week for 8 weeks. Prior to class, actors are required to thoroughly prepare a scene. At class actors perform the scene (to camera) and receive feedback between takes. Actors receive training in camera techniques, script analysis and audition skills.
