DTH.4004 Acting for the Camera

This course explores the craft of acting as it applies to film and television. Students will examine various methods and techniques that screen actors use in developing their roles. Exemplary films and selected scenes will be screened inside and outside of the class for written and oral critique. Students will act in scenes and exercises, which will be videotaped in class for analysis. Differences and similarities between stage and screen acting will be explored. The course does not address the history of film or the craft of filmmaking. Rather, it is designed for those students interested in deepening their acting skills and developing a critical eye.
