TPP 4265 Camera Acting UCF Academic Links TPP 4265 Camera Acting Tuesday/Thursday – 2:30 – 5 Theater acting is an operation with a scalpel, movie acting is an operation with a laser. Michael Caine Professor - Be Boyd Office - 223 Phone – Mobile 321-439-2614 Email - [email protected] Office Hours – Due to COVID, we are not allowed to hold office hours in our office IF they do not have the required six feet for social distancing. My office does not meet the special requirement for COVID, therefore, I will be available through zoom, facetime, email and the phone during the following hours. • Mon – 12- 2:30, Wed – 12 – 2 or by appointment on Friday • If you have need to meet with me for more than 15 minutes, we can set up a zoom meeting fairly quickly. If possible try to set them up the night before. o If not, try to contact me as early in the morning as possible on the day you need the meeting so we can set up a zoom meeting later during that same day. • If it is a quick meeting, we can facetime or talk over the phone UCF Academic Links • Academic Calendar Link: https://calendar.ucf.edu/2020/fall/no-classes • UCF library link: https://library.ucf.edu/TPP 4265C - Camera Acting • Credit Hours: 3 Class Hours: 3 Lab and Field Work Hours: 2 Contact Hours: 5 Prerequisite(s): None. Corequisite(s): None. Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): “C” (2.0) or better in TPP 4140C COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will cover three major areas: • Developing and/or advancing basic screen acting skills including playing for various camera shots and angles, continuity, teleprompter, reaction shots, self-taping, etc • Performing for television and film styles (i.e primetime drama, sitcom, romantic comedy, reality tv, horror, action) and skills for auditioning for film/television/media • Developing an appreciation for some very basic behind the camera work by developing a production project through iphone, android and/or zoom. Course Goals and Student Learning Outcomes: • Demonstrate a comfortable camera presence - to learn to be intimate, personal and specific for the camera • Develop actors’ skills with on-camera blocking (camera angles), business, subtext, and reactions • Develop and demonstrate an understanding of performing the various styles for film and television (i.e. commercials, sit com, primetime, reality TV, popular film styles, mockumentary, etc.) • To develop critical on-camera auditioning technique and performance evaluation skills both live and online submissions. Class Approach Due to Covid • Due to Covid – we will have a blendflex class, meaning that we will meet mostly on zoom with some limited face to face. Because camera work requires your face, we will be using your current residence kind of like a home studio through zoom as well as recording/uploading from your phone. • If safety becomes a concern, we will move to an all zoom format. • I will give you a heads up when we meet on campus. • I will try to keep you informed on a daily basis as to where we will convene. Develop a habit of checking both Facebook and/or email late at night or early in the morning in case an emergency arises. I will try to make announcements as ahead of time as possible. If you do not live close to UCF, let me know so I am aware of how much time it takes to travel here for you. • Because we will be working through zoom we are going to try to use the function for participants to record. I would like for you to get in the habit of recording your zoom work during class. Camera Acting Handout • There is a Camera Acting Handout attached to this email. The handout contains important material such as: camera acting terms, websites that describe the process for self-taping, descriptions and images of basic camera shots and angles, a basic description of how to create a storyboard for directing a film shoot, Television and Film Genres and how to approach continuity and creating a webseries. You are responsible for knowing the material on the handout as well as the material from the class. • I don’t forsee a time when we will be using the cameras in the department to film as that is currently a safety risk. However, in the event that regulations loosen up, please see the following: o ***Students are required to bring your own SD card to class every day to have a record of your work. You will need at least two SD cards (perhaps more). As you will download, assess and edit your own work, you will not be allowed to use another classmates SD card. You will need the SDHC or SD card 32GB.

Create Your Own Short Webseries (Three Webisodes) ****Due to COVID, the instructor reserves the right to adjust the syllabus as needed. Week 1 – 4 – August 24–September 19 I. UpLoaded Link for On Camera In Class Exercises and Written Observation– 100pts each • You will have daily on camera exercises that will be filmed and recorded through zoom or your phone. You will view and assess your growth from week to week. • Once you have viewed your work, you will write an observation paragraph responding to your work on camera. You will create a link and upload the link of the on camera work from the previous weeks AND send in your written observation all through knights email. For example: the first week of class we will have exercises for two days of class. You will use these and other in class exercises to access. You should choose 3 different exercises for your submission and written observation. • There will be a specific focus for the on camera exercises each day/week of class - your written paragraph should reflect the observation of your on camera work based on the particular goals of the class for the week, in class discoveries, class discussions and the feedback you have been given. Discuss your growth from exercise to exercise and the challenges you are working through • Once your compilation is complete, you should create a link you can send them both to Professor Boyd (you can create links for youtube, etc) to her UCF email address, not webcourses. Your observation should be between 100 and 150 words for each clip/exercise. Due dates: • Sunday Sept 6 by 8pm – Link and Written Observation • Sunday Sept 20 by 8pm - Link and Written Observation • Sample of Written Observations • Clip #1: Close scene Okay! This looked more natural than it felt when I was running the lines on my own. My face did seem to be at somewhat of an odd angle. The times when I was fully invested where much more interesting. There were times here and there where I could see myself lean into actor listening, and then lean back into character listening. So now, I need to figure out how to stay all-in all the time! My mouth was open for a lot of the scene, and I think that is because of the training we have gotten to get better breath. But, here, I probably don’t need to do that! • Clip #2: Close scene This take was much better, the first one seemed like a warm-up, because in this one, my lines and POV were more specific. This clip wasn’t the full scene just so I could see the difference when my face is slightly angled down and when it’s at a good angle. That truly does make such a difference! • Clip #3: Reader My head was angled down a bit again, and it makes a difference! But this time, I really paid attention to listening throughout XXXX line to have what she said fuel the way I said my next lines, and one line that I was have trouble finding an honest way to say, felt totally natural this time! Hooray! A success! • Also, after watching this clip I realized it was the one where XXXXX was farther away, and I think I was able to still maintain some intimacy. I still have some theatre-voice tendencies, but I’m getting simpler and more precise in my POV. • 2.On Camera Exercises- 100pts each o This course is experiential. Much of the learning will happen in class as you explore techniques and exercises needed to adapt to the craft of acting for the camera. You will participate in a series of exercises (some non scripted, some scripted) for self- discovery to answer, identify, confirm and practice the following: Who am I on camera? What is my on-camera presence? What do I need to change/shift to become camera friendly? Single camera. • You will be assessed on: o Preparation of Assignment or Exercise o Development and Demonstration of Talking, Listening and Responding o Continued Development and Demonstration of your on-camera presence/ personality o Demonstration of addressing the feedback received during the exercises and assignments o Demonstration of growth in developing an effective camera presence that is truthful to the style o How you approach and receive adjustments • As we move toward scripted Material you will be assessed on: o Preparation of Assignment/Exercise o Demonstration of clear interpretation of content in script/scene and navigation of copy/script o Demonstration of Clarity in Point of View o Demonstration of Character/Personality/Relationship in script/scene o Demonstration of Specificity of style o Demonstration of Vocal and Physical Choices for style o Demonstration of Continuity o Demonstration of adjustments for Camera angles/shots 3.

  • Watching Television with Friends: Tween Girls' Inclusion Of
    WATCHING TELEVISION WITH FRIENDS: TWEEN GIRLS’ INCLUSION OF TELEVISUAL MATERIAL IN FRIENDSHIP by CYNTHIA MICHIELLE MAURER A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Childhood Studies written under the direction of Daniel Thomas Cook and approved by ______________________________ Daniel T. Cook ______________________________ Anna Beresin ______________________________ Todd Wolfson Camden, New Jersey May 2016 ABSTRACT Watching Television with Friends: Tween Girls’ Inclusion of Televisual Material in Friendship By CYNTHIA MICHIELLE MAURER Dissertation Director: Daniel Thomas Cook This qualitative work examines the role of tween live-action television shows in the friendships of four tween girls, providing insight into the use of televisual material in peer interactions. Over the course of one year and with the use of a video camera, I recorded, observed, hung out and watched television with the girls in the informal setting of a friend’s house. I found that friendship informs and filters understandings and use of tween television in daily conversations with friends. Using Erving Goffman’s theory of facework as a starting point, I introduce a new theoretical framework called friendship work to locate, examine, and understand how friendship is enacted on a granular level. Friendship work considers how an individual positions herself for her own needs before acknowledging the needs of her friends, and is concerned with both emotive effort and social impact. Through group television viewings, participation in television themed games, and the creation of webisodes, the girls strengthen, maintain, and diminish previously established bonds.

    Transmedia Television Drama: Proliferation and promotion of extended stories online Matthew Loads Monash University [email protected] Abstract Transmedia storytelling associated with television drama has existed online for more than sixteen years. For most of its existence, this material has been dominated by texts associated with the promotion of television series. This additional material has made inroads into prime- time television and most high-rating television drama productions have established an online presence. This study concentrates on additional content that is available online in relation to all Australian drama productions and some international drama productions in a five-month period. This paper asks what additional material in particular exists, finds out the prevalence of promotional material in comparison to storytelling and seeks to discover if any distinct categories of television drama productions provide more transmedia texts than others. A significant amount of additional material was discovered to feature promotion over storytelling. Differences in approach to this type of storytelling can be seen between public, free-to-air commercial and subscription broadcasters. 1 Introduction According to Henry Jenkins transmedia is “a technique of telling stories across multiple platforms and formats, with each element making distinctive contributions to…the story world” (Jenkins, 2006a: 334). By using different media formats, transmedia creates “entry points” through which consumers can become immersed (Rose, 2011: 3) in a narrative. Transmedia storytelling has been implemented to increase connections with audiences for video games, films, comic books and television (Consalvo, 2003: 322). This paper presents a pilot study that uncovers evidence of television drama production following this approach in recent programming.

Shorter than most television episodes and distributed on online platforms like YouTube, web series both draw on and deviate from traditional TV storytelling strategies. In this thesis, I compare the production and storytelling strategies of "derivative" web series based on broadcast television shows with "original" web series created for the Internet, focusing on the evolution of scripted entertainment content online.

  • Netflix, Apple, Google and Facebook
    BROADBAND CONVERGENCE: MEDIA CONTENT TELEVISION’S NEWCOMERS: NETFLIX, APPLE, GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK Trevor Barr This paper essentially deals with innovation related to Internet Television, not Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), which is so widely seen as a major new application for NBN Co. It constructs four business models of Internet television related to the recent innovation offered by four American based corporations, each of whom is relatively new to television. It offers an analysis of Netflix as the aggregation model, Apple TV as continuing its iPhone walled garden business model but this time for television, Google TV where convergence for television would be free, and also of movies becoming available on Facebook, the progressively more ubiquitous social media site. None of these players are original television content creators. All are highly dependent for content on the established commercial television networks in the USA, whose management face complex dilemmas as to whether it embraces the opportunity to make more programming available to new outlets, but at no risk to their programming rights, or to their lucrative advertising base. The development of Internet television, and how it comes to compete or co-exist with IPTV, may be a broadband game changer, not only in the USA but also eventually for Australia. INTRODUCTION A popular genre of media industry conferences in the United States canvasses the possible long-term effects of recent innovations in the television industry. Three of the largest communications corporations in the world, namely Apple, Google and Facebook, have recently entered the United States television markets. However, the boldest challenge to date has come from a newer and much smaller US company, Netflix.

  • Intertestuale, Intermediale E Crossmediale, E Il Gusto Dell’Inatteso, in Breaking Bad
    Intertestuale, intermediale e crossmediale, e il gusto dell’inatteso, in Breaking Bad Nicola Dusi Cinema e serialità televisiva Forse ha ragione Menarini (2014), quando sostiene che le nuove forme espanse delle serie tv americane si sono totalmente emancipate dalla «sindrome di inferiorità culturale» con il cinema, e anzi hanno quasi invertito i termini della questione soprattutto, secondo lui, negli anni dopo Avatar con un film in 3D che riempie le sale con una narrazione semplificata ed epica, mentre la poetica delle serie tv si merita l’appellativo di “Complex TV” (Mittel 2015). Mittel sostiene inoltre che la nuova complessità narrativa richiede categorie di analisi diverse da quelle usate per i media tradizionali, da quando supera la logica “episodic” della serialità televisiva del passato per aprire al “serial”, o meglio alle serie serializzate, ed espande la sua narrazione in divenire, non solo nelle varie stagioni ma nello storytelling transmediale dei paratesti e delle pratiche dei fan. In effetti, le serie tv vengono ormai studiate come “ecosistemi mediali seriali” (Innocenti, Pescatore 2011)1, in cui si trovano meccanismi di “resilienza” e di “continuità” 1 Per Innocenti e Pescatore (2011: 135) le nuove serialità legate alle serie tv americane sono “oggetti abnormi”, con mutazioni espanse e transmediali che durano nel tempo, presentano un universo complesso piuttosto che una singola narrazione, con la «capacità di ramificarsi attraverso media differenti, Between, vol. VI, n. 11 (Maggio/ May 2016) Nicola Dusi, Intertestuale, intermediale e crossmediale, e il gusto dell’inatteso, in Breaking Bad dello storyworld. E le nuove serie sono ibridate nei generi e quasi sempre proliferanti di citazioni e omaggi, basti pensare a True Detective e a Fargo, di cui parla in questo numero l’articolo di Giorgio Grignaffini.

  • Matthew Loads Thesis
    Australian Webisodes 2010-2014: Extending Narrative and Promoting Television Drama Online Matthew Loads Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2021 Department of Media and Communication School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 1 Abstract This thesis analyses webisode production in Australian television drama. It defines webisodes as short-form original video texts connected to a television program and produced for an online audience. They emerged as a form of video content in the mid-1990s and are currently recognised as a component of multi-platform television in Australia. Their creation reveals important emerging trends in the Australian screen industry. The study examines the production processes that shape these texts, and how webisodes contribute to the history of Australian television by reflecting larger changes in drama production. Through a consideration of both formal practices and storytelling conventions, the thesis employs Elana Levine’s five modes of production as its core methodological framework. Developed to examine the production of the soap opera General Hospital (1963-), this thesis adapts a framework established for pre-internet network television in North America to the production process that shaped Australian webisodes from 2010 to 2014, a period where webisode production solidified. Four webisode case studies directly linked to TV drama programs are explored—Network Ten’s Offspring (2010-2018) and Secrets and Lies (AU, 2014), SBS’s Danger 5 (2012-2015), and the ABC production of Nowhere Boys (2013- 2019). Findings are based on interviews with 27 production personnel and visits to production sets, and the detailed examination of trade press, industry and government reports.
