Teen Film Making & Acting for Camera

• At DCSA, students learn the difference between stage and film acting as well as presentation skills and confidence building.

  It is suitable for students who have a keen interest in both Acting and Film Making.

  Many movie Directors and Actors began making short films as teens before going to film or drama school. Others learned creatively without ever going to film or drama school!!!! Others may be just curious as how you become a You Tube blogger like Casper Lee – who has become a very, very wealthy young man by just blogging.

  It is aimed at students who either want to be Film Directors or for those who want to be Screen Actors. If you want to be a be a director or actor – you need to know how to direct actors, and as an actor you need to know what to expect from a director. You have to learn how to work with each other – to communicate with each other and to understand their respective roles, so that the film is the best it can be – with both parties pulling together. The day is divided between instruction, followed by practicals – so all that is learned in theory is immediately put into practice. We switch constantly from theory to “on set” demonstrations.
