The studio's latest one-day film-acting masterclass is to be held here tomorrow. It runs from 11am to 5pm with breaks for refreshments, and costs £57.50 for the day.
These master classes are designed to be the best introduction to film acting, whether the attendees have any experience of acting or not. The students will get to see the kind of work that goes on in a real, operational film studio. They will see how special effects are done by our own in-house CGI expert, Ilyas Kaduji, who has worked on numerous major productions such as Sweeney Todd, Harry Potter and Narnia. They will also be filmed themselves and then see what they look like projected onto our own big screen. They will also be introduced to film sound and the importance of being quiet on set.
On top of that, students are shown what a director looks for in an actor's CV - and it will be a film director that shows them this, so there is nothing second-hand about what they will learn.
A two-day masterclass is planned for the weekend of 21st-22nd March at £125 for the two days, and a further one-day masterclass on Saturday 28th March. See www.actingcourses.net for details.
