At level 3, students will begin working on developing The Character while harmonizing the student’s individualistic creativity. All classes of level 3 are on-camera at our multi-camera studio. Industry related terms used on film sets will be echoed until masterful working habits form. We will introduce key language such as “coverage”, the actor’s “on camera presence”, and others. Students will receive their scene footage via a cloud base software on a weekly basis. This allows class time to be entirely devoted to performing on camera instead of insufficient playbacks . Instead, valuable feedback from our industry professionals is marked on the tape at the precise moment of where an improvement is needed and can be easily reviewed at any time and at the student’s convenience. Finally, students will be introduced to the world and artistry of auditioning.
