THST 444 - Acting for Film II

For acting students who want to gain advanced knowledge and experience in acting for film and television. The primary goal of the class is to bring out each actor’s natural talent, which is often the most ‘marketable’ in the film and television industry. Each actor will work on a monologue or scene—chosen in consultation with the instructor—to make his/her work in front of a camera compelling, secure, and believable. Special video sessions will give each participant a valuable, hands-on experience in acting for the camera. The actors will also be able to see and evaluate each other’s film work during a special screening session at the end of the course. The actors will be able to use excerpts from their monologue/scene for a ‘video audition’ commonly required by today’s Casting Directors, Actor’s Agents, and Film/TV Directors. Formerly TH 400B
