On-Camera Scene and Character Study

On-Camera Scene and Character Study

Tuesdays January 28th-March 4th

6:30-9:30pm

This program will video scenes, two to four minutes in length from movies, plays and tv series, both well-known and original. Each scene will be read twice, blocked and then shot as an actual movie. Covering all genres and using the dialogue offered, the focus is on trusting your instincts, not to imitate a known scene. Each scene will be edited with a screening at the end of the program. All class members are guaranteed to be in more than one scene, and these may be used as part of their professional reels. To make age-appropriate scene selections, it would be very helpful to know as soon as possible if you will be joining.
