  • In ACTING for FILM
    Two-Year Degree Program ASSOCIATE OF FINE ARTS in ACTING FOR FILM AFA Acting students prepare to perform a scene in collaboration with Filmmaking students. 222 LOCATION LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Location is subject to change. For start dates and tuition, please visit nyfa.edu 223 AFA Acting for Film OVERVIEW here are numerous elements and skills that go into making a critically acclaimed flm that viewers will appreciate. Yet an audience’s connection to an actor’s performance is often the most immediate and intimate relationship one makes with a movie. A good performance must appear efortless, yet still convey a rich tapestry of emotion and depth to create a T convincing character. Unlike acting in the theater, when performing on a flm or television set, an actor must contend with a far more chaotic environment where numerous crew members are running about, high wattage lights are aimed directly at the actor, and one is expected to give a believable and engaging performance take after take. Regardless of an actor’s inherent talent, he or she must learn how to efectively handle the countless variables at work on a flm or television production. The Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) Degree Program in Acting for Film provides students with the opportunity to exclusively focus on their professional and artistic development as actors. Over the course of the four- semester, two-year program, students gain a strong foundation in acting principles through such classes as Scene Study, Acting for Film, Voice and Movement, Improvisation, and Audition Technique. Please Note: curriculum and projects are subject to change and may vary depending on location.

  • Duties of a Cinematographer in Creating a Film
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2016, Vol. 6, No. 7, 824-827 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.07.013 D DAVID PUBLISHING Duties of a Cinematographer in Creating a Film Ikboljon Melikuziev State Institute of Arts and Culture, Tashkent, Uzbekistan The present article deals with the duties, role and methodical peculiarities of a cinematographer in creating a feature film. The development of creating artistic works in the high creative level and its process is comparatively analyzed within the progress of the Uzbek cinematography. Keywords: cinematographer, film director, critic, image, lightness, recurs, production, picture, plastics, rhythm, composition, editing, scenario, method Introduction The art of cinematography has not been studied widely. It is very difficult to express the description of a film by words. One must see the picture and just for this case a cinematographer’s artistic activity of many years needs careful study. They say, it is not written much about a cameraman’s work yet. In our opinion, the essence of their creativity involves expressing the method, plastics and descriptive decision of a ready feature film. The film supposedly is connected only with the name of a director as a single filmmaker. While criticizing a film they usually speak just about a director and leading actors. You can hardly find anything about a cameraman’s work. Naturally, it is not enough. However, a cameraman’s work spent for artistic picture demands a serious analyses and careful study. Undoubtedly, the right stylistics, artistically completeness of the form which strengthens the effective power of a feature film and accepting the film by the audience depends on the cinematographer’s skills.

  • General Guidelines for Auditioning Check the Play's Rehearsal and Production Schedule
    General Guidelines for Auditioning Check the play's rehearsal and production schedule Be quite certain you re available throughout. If you have conflicts, put them on your audition sheet. If you get cast, and then tell the director you have additional scheduling conflicts, you'll damage the production and--don't ignore this--give yourself a rotten reputation! Avoid looking for "your role" or casting yourself Instead, keep yourself open to any role. The Audition Don't worry about nerves Everyone gets nervous at auditions, even the old pros, and having a few butterflies can be a good thing. It is best to avoid worrying excessively about messing up or about what others auditioning might think of you. If you do happen to "mess up", don't get upset or walk off, just keep on going until you are finished. Dress comfortably Avoid costumes, but don't dress completely out of character either. Avoid big clunky shoes or jewelry that may impede your movement. Choose clothing that is simple, professional, and comfortable. Arrive early Get there well in advance so that you can check in and take time to warm up and fill out forms. Be professional in your attitude and actions Remember that your audition begins the moment you step into the theatre. Be confident, pleasant, respectful, and positive with everyone. NEVER apologize for your audition Unless you let us know it, we will assume that's exactly what you meant to do. Just in case we thought it was brilliant, don't telegraph that you think you blew it.

Translation and Film: Slang, Dialects, Accents and Multiple Languages Allison M. Rittmayer Bucknell University The birth of the cinema was initially regarded with great promise as a universal method of communication. This was partially true in the era of silent films as there was no need for translation before the introduction of inter-titles. The images filmed may have contained distinct cultural markers, thus rendering them somewhat foreign to spectators outside of the source culture; however, these markers could be absorbed in the way a painting is absorbed. Without linguistic intrusion, it was possible for spectators of foreign films to simply identify characters in regards to their appearance. This identification could also be made easier if the spectator knew what culture the film was coming from, in the way that paintings are understood by virtue of the culture that produced them. More often than not though, early silent films portrayed subjects that did not need any cultural translation.

    Marshall University Marshall Digital Scholar Theatre Faculty Research Theatre 3-2009 A Violent Character: Stage Combat Character Analysis T. Fulton Burns Follow this and additional works at: https://mds.marshall.edu/theatre_faculty Part of the Acting Commons Stage Combat Character Analysis By T. Fulton Burns It is so deceptively easy stating who your character is but it is over looked more often than you may think. A good character analysis is important in the actor/character relationship and here we will look at the key elements of character research and their specific relationships to the stage combatant. If you want a great source to consider I highly recommend Uta Hagen’s Respect for Acting because it has one of the most concise research options available. She lists her character analysis as follows: • Who am I? Character Characters in Romeo and Juliet have • What time is it? Century, year, season, day, minute training in combative techniques and this • Where am I? Country, city, neighborhood, level of expertise even reveals social status. Tybalt is a wonderful example because he house, room, area of room prides himself on his fighting abilities. One • What surrounds? Animate and inanimate objects could even argue that fighting and pride are all that he knows. The hatred he holds • What are the given circumstances? Past, present, future, and the towards another family (Montagues) based events upon principle and/or teaching, also molds him as a character. Also, how he fights is • What is my relationship? Relation to total events, other based upon the training he has received in characters, and to things his formative years.
