Acting for Camera

You will work collaboratively with actor and tutor/director Julia Lewis on a variety of scripts E.g. TV, film, commercial and corporate scripts and genres. You will study from leading industry practitioners and use immersive drama exercises to discover the difference between stage and screen acting. Prepared scripts will be developed through the rehearsal process and filmed. Students will view the filmed work, then discuss and analyse techniques, skills and progress identifying areas for development. In order to ensure you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular constructive and supportive feedback from your tutor. The tutor may provide additional material and/or practical tasks via any of the online platforms supported by the College (Moodle, MS stream, GoogleClassroom).

Excellent attendance and punctuality will be required from all students. This course will include some completion of activities outside of class time, e.g. preparation of favourite exercises to share with fellow students. Study can include the use of digital resources such as film & photography, useful websites and connection with online communities of interest via social media to enhance your learning. Photography and film recording of class activities may be used in order to aid learning. These images may also be used for publicity or marketing materials produced by Morley College, both online and in print. You will have the opportunity to either confirm or decline consent to being filmed or photographed.

Have a notebook, pencil, eraser and pen to class always. Wear loose clothing appropriate for an acting class. Bring any scripts which have been given by the tutor and any text as requested. Access and use of wifi, laptop or smart phone. When you have enrolled you will be sent instructions on how to use Microsoft Teams, as this is where teaching will take place online.
