TDR 3720 Acting for the Camera II


3 Hours

Prerequisites: TDR 2720  and TDR 2080  

Acting for the Camera II is designed to build on the foundation provided in Acting for the Camera I with additional tools helpful for on camera acting and auditioning. Students will study and apply advanced screen acting techniques and create on-camera performances in various styles and genres of both film and television (e.g., science fiction, drama, comedy, commercials, et al.). Students will learn to strip away theatrical mannerisms in order to temper their performance for the camera through the playback of recorded performances and objective feedback. Particular focus is placed on material that calls for simplicity and emotional connection in matters of period, style and advanced technical challenges in acting in front of the camera. The course culminates in a 90-second reel.
