Have you ever acted in a school play or in amateur theatre? Would you like to find out how stage performance differs from acting in front of the camera? If you're between 14 and 18 years old and you'd like to learn how to act in the movies, then this unique acting academy has been designed for you.

The three-week course will take place at our facilities in Ealing Studios, and will be taught by a professional acting coach. You will learn acting skills as well as the technical skills necessary for you to act 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. The course will be challenging, requiring a lot of hard work from you but it will also be fun and extremely rewarding.

Learning Objectives:

How to gain more confidence in acting for the camera by understanding the filmmaking process in its entirety
To know the difference between acting for theatre and acting for film
To know and to have practiced the tools necessary to create a believable performance on screen
To have come up with valuable tools for the actor to prepare for a screen performance including how to interpret a script
The technical aspects of film acting, and be better equipped to give the director and camera operator what they need

If you're more interested in the filmmaking side, rather than being in front of the camera, check out our Young Filmmakers Academy
