About This Activity
FILM ACTING CAMP (Ages 10-17) Campers spend Monday & Tuesday learning the technique of acting for the camera and how film acting differs from acting on stage. They will practice hitting their marks, finding their key light, learn the different types of crosses and work on adjusting their performance for the lens, instead of in a theatre. They will also be assigned two scenes starring them; one comic and one dramatic. Wednesday through Friday, campers will film the scenes and learn the rigors of acting in a motion picture, while working with industry professionals. When other scenes are being shot, campers serve as crew members for the production. These scenes will be shot with professional film, lighting and sound equipment, and edited by professionals, creating up to a 2-minute demo reel per camper. The Film Acting Camp wraps Friday evening, but the camp instructors go quickly to work on post-production, spending the next few days editing the footage into finished products. The following week, date TBD, campers are joined by their families for a Red Carpet Premiere screening of their work. Campers arrive by limousine and walk the red carpet to view the world premiere of their scenes. Price includes all lunches, snacks, a camp t-shirt, personal swag bag and an electronic copy of all reels and scenes and 3 tickets to the red carpet premiere.
