For actors and directors this is an on-your-feet workshop using video and playback. The demands that camera work has in order to achieve compelling realistic behavior is understood and experienced through a series of exercises. We begin with a "get acquainted with yourself" on-camera interview, then move to monologue work on camera and finally students are partnered together and assigned a scene as both an audition exercise and a filming exercise. All of the work is done in close up or over the shoulder video shots. Time-permitting, we will address the nature of a classic Hollywood shoot and how the actor's understanding of camera angles affect and inform the acting work. The goal is to become camera smart actors. A prepared contemporary monologue two to three minutes in length is required.
