Designed for aspiring actors with beginner level screen acting techniques, the Intermediate & Advanced Screen Acting Course offers an in depth tour into camera acting.

The course covers essential topics in Character, Facial Awareness, Confidence, Mastering Presence, Continuity, Camera Angles and Sizes and Set Survival.

A key focus of the course is for participants to learn how to ‘play the camera’, as they get to know the requirements of different shots and camera set-ups. Through specific, exercises attendees will learn how to position themselves in front of the camera, maximising impact. While improving body and facial awareness, actors gain mastery, confidence and control under the very ‘unnatural’ setting that is the film set.

Each week we will cover different topics, all important aspects of camera acting.

These include:

Advanced Scene Analysis Skills
Character Breakdowns
Mastering Confidence on-set
Improving on-screen body and facial awareness
Adjusting Acting for Camera Angles and Sizes
Mastering Presence and taking risks
Set Survival

The classes run like mini workshops that involve a theoretical component, instruction, discussion, and plenty of on-camera practice sessions with playback for each participant. During playback, the tutor is able to evaluate on screen performances, providing participants with insights on their toolkit.
