Fine Arts Elective Credit
This is a beginning-level course for a wide range of students. Students gain practical knowledge about the ins and outs of auditioning for camera (television, film, and commercials). Within the course, students will experiment with different ways to conquer the last minute/fresh sides auditions (cold reads), develop a vocabulary for performing on sets and auditioning for the camera, and learn about the business of acting (the creation of a resume, headshot advice, reels, and the self-tape). Students would also engage in script analysis, finding “ways in” to better understand a character’s motivation and relationships.
Prerequisites: None
