Acting for camera is very different to acting on stage. The camera picks up every single twitch of the face and every little tone of voice. We look at the very honest and truthful acting style required for the screen in this module – but it’s not just about acting!
You’ll also get a chance to see how writing for TV and film works as well as trying the roles of director, cameraman and all the other people on set. You’ll work from a mixture of real TV and film scripts along with stuff you’ll come up with yourself.
Apart from the opportunity to make your own short films you will get the chance to film and edit your own pop video and even make adverts, plus we regularly arrange visits from people who work professionally in film & TV and you’ll have fun learning tricks of the trade from them too!
Once a year we hold a special screening at your local cinema where we show your film projects to an invited audience of family and friends. That’s you, up there, on the same big screen that you normally watch Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie on. By anyone’s standards, that’s pretty cool.
