CLASS DESCRIPTION
Set essentials: camera terms, playing the lens, adjusting for shots, continuity, rehearsals, hitting marks, tempo, dynamics, off camera acting, steady cam versus dolly versus sticks, dialogue changes, lead versus supporting approach, the edit, maintaining arc in out-of-sequence shooting, multiple takes…and more.
Set etiquette: call times, working with crew, set language, set relationships (director, producer, director of photography, camera op, ADs, wardrobe, hair and make up) emotional prepping on set, taking notes, serving the story...and more.
Set collaboration: actors act as different types of crew, exploring the team-effort and collaboration of the on-set experience.
Story preparation: actors will be assigned scenes from film/TV that best suits their casting…actors will read entire scene and discuss story, theme, conflict, character, arc, and approach to the individual scenes. Actors will prepare individual scene analysis.
Story rehearsal: actors finalize their preliminary approach to blocking and “what they will bring to the set”.
Filming: Actors take turns acting each prepared scene, from first team rehearsal to cut. Actors not acting in scene act as crew. The full on set experience with camera, lights, sound, marks, props, and all the on camera business...exploring different camera scenarios and set surprises.
In this way, actors learn the ins and outs of set and act as a team to work together to make the best possible product for their peers. This is a fantastic hands on learning experience, partaking in the film making process, as well as learning the insights to the world of film and television.
Actors come away with set experience…and raw material for a demo scene.
