Course programme

Course review:

This course teaches actors the essential techniques for acting in TV and Film. Over a period of 10 weeks you have the opportunity to expand the various techniques you have, and discover how to use them on camera.

We explore the technicalities of the shooting process, focussing on framing, timing, hitting your mark, the constraints of continuity, how to tell a story with and without words, all while engaging with the camera.

We discuss the demands of each piece, explore the possible techniques of preparation, play with the importance of the thought process, and review the results during the session. There is feedback and evaluation.
