In almost all
Film and Television programmes there is
hardly any programme where no actor is
involved. It is through the actors the
director conveys his message or idea to the
audience. The role of an actor cannot be
underestimated at any cost. Observation,
imagination, body language, emoting
capabilities, verbal and non-verbal
communications are the tools of an actor,
which is more important than the superficial
beauty and glamour.
In the Acting & Presentation classes, the
acting students sharpen these tools to build
up their acting prowess. Getting into a
character comes through after great deal of
observations and imaginations.
Acting for Film and Television is highly
technical. The actor doesn’t perform in
isolation and is directly bonded to the
camera, lights and microphone. Besides, his
time and pace criteria are totally related
to the editing parameters. This makes it
compulsory for an Film & Television
performer to have the basic knowledge of
cinematography, editing and the Film
grammar. It is this technology that makes
Film and Television acting so different from
theatre.
Glamour is an integral part of an actor
related to the Film and Television industry
pertaining to the entertainment world.
Students are drilled and groomed into making
themselves presentable for the programmes.
Knowledge of make-up is imparted by the
experts in the field. Exercises are designed
to develop the observation & concentration
power, improve the dancing skills and
develop the sense of rhythm. Also the voice
modulation and voice culture experts
supervise the students to improve their
voice by getting rid of their defects in
voice intonation which helps the student
actor in dialogue delivery. Sufficient
stress is laid upon the diction in classes.
Improvisation, miming and several other
chapters are included in the syllabus.
Actors participate in student productions.
Students take a copy of their production to
make a show-reel / portfolio. |
