This unit prepares the actor for the specialised acting techniques for camera and microphone. Actors apply these techniques to screen at broadcast standard. It is applicable to both television and film, and short projects using single and multi camera are created and analysed. Actors will operate in a professional context and work with and understand how film crews operate, how editing is conceived and how to interpret film scripts. Scenes and monologues will be filmed in a television studio as well as on location and the material will vary from contemporary American scripts to comedy and dramatic material. There is also creative collaboration with the Screen Academy. Visiting professional directors and writers will contribute to the unit.
