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

Course Overview

Acting for Film - Level 1 is our original screen-acting course and has been developed for those who wish to develop their performance skills for the medium of film. Previous experience is welcomed although not always required. 

Taught by a professional actor and professional film director along with leading drama coaches, you will act in a series of filmed exercises that will be analysed in class so that you can improve your performances as the course progresses. You will also learn what it is like to be on the other side of the camera by directing and acting as crew (operating the camera, recording sound) on a number of short exercises. At the end of this acting course, you will be given a DVD of the scenes that you and your fellow actors have acted in.

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

For more information Request A Prospectus and our enrolments team will get in touch to talk you through the course.
