The Met Film School is London's leading provider of practical filmmaking courses, based at Ealing Studios.

Course Overview

This course is aimed at all those wishing to learn or develop their existing acting skills for the medium of film, but who cannot commit to a full-time schedule. Taught by an acting coach and professional film director over the course of 12 weeks on two evenings per week, you will learn core acting skills as well as all the technical skills necessary for you to perform confidently in front of a camera.

You will act in filmed exercises and also shoot exercises yourselves so that you know what it is like to be on the other side of the camera. At the end of the course, you will be given a DVD of the scenes that you and your fellow actors have acted in. If you would like a personal DVD with only your scenes, this can be edited for you at an extra cost of £300.

Please note that you need to be at least 18 years old to take this course.
