TH 0342 - Acting for the Camera

Fall 3 Credit Hours
Defines the differences between film, television and stage acting, as well as other aspects of the business of acting. Working with scene partners, you will be given scenes from film and television to rehearse and perform. Students will learn camera acting techniques by being in front of the camera as much as possible. Students will “crew” scenes their classmates are acting in. Shooting on-camera work is time consuming. The class will include extensive scene memorization, class discussions, performance critique writing, and journal self-assessment writing. Prerequisite: TH 0241.
