Students will extend their Year Two work on acting for Radio and on microphone in order to fully understand techniques required for the profession. They will develop acting and vocal skills in radio performance, with specific reference to radio drama.
Students will extend their Year Two Screen work on acting for the screen and will have experience of audition, casting and interview situations for TV, film and commercials. Students will experience the pressures of creating a role for TV and film by performing in a Show-reel and experiencing a ‘shoot’ under conditions similar to those of the industry. By the end of the unit they will have an advanced understanding of repeating takes and remaining fully focused so as to listen and respond with spontaneity, accommodate technical demands such as hitting the mark, and continuity of action and eye lines. Students will understand the need to apply “units and objectives” to screen acting and the perception of the actor’s persona on camera. Upon completion, the final edit will be uploaded to Spotlight.
Students will extend their Year 2 and Year 3 work on Acting for Screen and will undertake more responsibility for pre and post production work including: script selection, dramaturgy, location finding and uploading the finished work to Spotlight.
