I enjoyed a lot this course.
Personally I must say acting for camera courses are very useful mostly anyone interested in film and television. Our tutor very responsible and committed.
I would recommend this course to anyone.
Awesome very well done.

Thanks.

As actors, we are often misguided in thinking that if we feel the part, it will come through to our audience. The camera, however, holds up a stern mirror to that myth, exposing its fallacy. Often we'll watch what we, and even the audience at a shoot, thought was a great performance, only to find out it didn't come across on screen. Maybe the thought process was lost, maybe the actor looked too tense, too overactive, too held back, too contrived. Because acting in general, but even more so acting for camera, has a very significant technical element. Technique has to be mastered along side the more organic approach to embodying a character. That's where Acting for Camera comes in. Right from the start, delegates learn to relax in front of the camera, to understand what their level of expressivity is and what directions they need to take. The importance of the eyes, a cornerstone of camera acting especially in close up, is explored in detail. Actors learn how to best use the frame. Exemplary scenes from some of the masters of screen acting/directing are analysed. Technique and psychological realism are used side by side. I took this course in the spring term of 2010 and on the strength of that I had no hesitation on following up with AFC2 the following term. And of course, it helps that the tutor has substantial stage, notable tv and film experience. Often tutors can become too philosophical, at the risk of sounding ambiguous or even downright wrong. Not the case here. Everything the tutor says makes sense. Add to this the practical insights of the resident camera, light and sound technician and this makes for a course I recommend to anyone considering a career on tv or film.
