Introduction to Screen Acting

Overview

Overview

A practical 10 week course to introduce students screen acting and develop confidence in front of the camera.

The course will cover the fundamentals of screen acting technique and dispel some of the myths about acting for screen. Students will work with sound and continuity crews, become familiar with the filming process, equipment, roles of the crew members, and filming terminology.

The course will begin with camera-based classes that are designed to show students how the camera can aid a performance rather than hinder it, and at the end of the course all participants will have an edited recording of their own scenes filmed in class. Suitable for aspiring actors who are interested in screen acting, film acting and acting for beginners classes.

Date, Time and Place

This course runs at various times throughout the year, for one evening a week over 10 weeks at The Lir National Academy of Dramatic Art, Trinity Technology and Enterprise Campus, Pearse Street at Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2.
