This module will focus on developing your knowledge of and skills in applying techniques for working on camera for mediums such as feature film, television, commercials and corporate film. It will also develop your understanding of basic filmmaking techniques and will require you to learn how to operate a digital video camera, sound equipment and editing software at a basic level. You will develop an awareness of and sensitivity to the film/television set or location, who's who on the crew and will develop a practical awareness of on-set protocols and practices. You will explore the implications of performance size in relation to shot size, continuity, product placement, camera movement, set/location constraints and challenges, shooting out of sequence, emotional requirements of the scene and other obstacles to effective performance and will develop skills and techniques to support the development of a believable character on camera. Auditions, castings and self-taping remotely will also be covered in this module. Working with your tutor(s) and with each other you will perform monologues, duologues and multi-performer scenes on camera, supporting each other as crew and under similar conditions as those in the industry. Assessment in this module will be continuous. Upon completion of this module, you will have showreel footage, including at least one dramatic/comedic scene and one commercial advert. Alongside the skills covered in this unit, your technical skills in this area will be developed in the industry preparation sessions.
