CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

ACTING FOR FILM

Students learn the basics of film acting: calibrating performances based upon shot size and angle,

hitting marks, emotional and physical continuity, and strength and imagination in acting choices.

Students are assigned scenes from produced screenplays, which are then shot with a crew andedited together. In addition, students learn to perform a number of film crew positions, to broaden

their knowledge of the duties of everyone on a professional fi lm set.

SCENE STUDY

Working on scenes from published plays and screenplays is allows actors to learn all of the basic

concepts of approaching a scene: defining objectives, breaking the scene down into beats,

understanding the arc, pursuing your objective, playing actions, and working to overcome

obstacles. This class provides the most basic technique for understanding acting, therefore it

starts at a most basic level, usually with silent scenes or short dialogue scenes. Once the

foundation is in place, longer dramatic or comedic scenes are explored.

VOICE/MOVEMENT

An actors body is his or her only instrument, therefore it must be tuned to perform expertly

whenever and however needed. Movement classes, in addition to expanding body flexibility and

developing the actors ability to relax and tense when needed, will also focus on breaking down

inhibitions, building ensemble spirit, and providing the necessary tools to bring physical dimension

to all of their roles.

Additionally, a primary tool for the actor is the expressive and free voice. Therefore, voices must be

trained to be heard (through volume adjustments), understood (through articulation) and also felt

(through expression). Students gain insight into the power of how to nurture and control their voices by

exercising various resonators and muscles, enabling them to release emotional impulses. In addition to

breath work, classes focus on singing, relaxation, phrasing, and posture as a way of nurturing the actors

instrument. Using text, students learn to identify key words and learn how to link intention with the voice

and speak clearly and powerfully through the end of a line.

IMPROVISATION

The ability to improvise can never be underestimated when it comes to acting, especially on

camera where there is usually very li ttle rehearsal. Whether in comedy or drama, actors improvise

well when they are fully engaged, listening to their partners, and releasing their inhibitions about

failing. Through games and exercises, students learn how to let their imaginations run wild, how

to play well with others, and how to l ive in the momentfree from anticipating or planning what

to do next.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

ACTING TECHNIQUE

Acting teachers throughout the ages have developed many different techniques for teaching the

craft to aspiring actors. Since actors oftentimes are required to draw from their many facets of

their training to meet the demands of a role or a director, this acting class teaches a range of

techniques so that actors can be best prepared for any role they are given to play.

FILM CRAFT

Acting students rarely have the opportunity to immerse themselves in other aspects of

filmmaking. However, we feel it is crucial that an actor develops strong collaborative skills by

gaining a working knowledge of the film medium and how each member of a film crew contributes

to making an actors performance shine. Therefore we provide all of our students with master

classes taught by the NYFA Filmmaking faculty who give a broad outline of the mechanics,

language, and production of film.

AUDITION TECHNIQUE

Acting is as much of a business as it is a craft. In addition to training, successful actors must

develop strong marketing skills in order to build a career. These classes focus on such topics as

feeling comfortable at cold readings, preparing a resume, choosing a headshot photographer, and

developing a career strategy. Additionally, actors wi ll have the opportunity to get live auditioning

experience both in class and during an open casting call with directors from the NYFA Filmmaking

program.

RESOURCES FOR THE NEW YORK ACTOR

TKTS Ticket Booths -Like student rush and

standing room only policies, the TKTS ticket

booths are a resource you can use to purchasediscount tickets on the day of the performance

you want to see. (There are some exceptions for

weekend matinees.)

Established in 1973 for the betterment of theatres

and theatregoers alike, TKTS sells unsold tickets

on the day of performance for many Broadway

shows for 25-50% off the box ofce price plus a

$3.00 service charge per ticket.

For example, if the price of a ticket for an orchestra

seat to Beauty and the Beast is normally $95.00,

the price at the ticket booth might be 50% off - or

$47.50 - plus a $3 service charge.

The newly renovated TKTS booth is located in

Duffy Square, the center island of 47th Street

between Broadway and 7th Avenue for TKTS.

The electronic signs in front display what shows

are available for that day.

The hours for the Times Square TKTS booth are

as follows:

Monday to Saturdayfor evening tickets -

3:00pm to 8:00pm

Wednesday & Saturday for matinee tickets -

10:00am to 2:00pm

Sundayfor matinee and evening tickets - 11:00am

to 7:30pm

There is a lesser-known TKTS location in the

Monday to Saturday for matinee and eveningtickets - 11:00am to 6:00pm*

*You must buy matinee tickets the day before atthe Seaport branch. For example, Wednesdaymatinees are sold Tuesday (only at this location).

3. Begin the download. NOTE: If using NYFA computers, some have disableddownloading to the desktop and/ or documents folder. If this happens, merely select analternate folder to download to.

From here, youll need to complete two simple steps:

1. Import your footage into Final Cut Pro to convert it into a QuicktimeReference le and

2. burn a DVD of your work using either iDVD or DVD Studio Pro.

NOTE: You can drag your footage into iDVD if your footage is under 30 minutes long.However, it will create a menu which is not very customizable and often annoying. FinalCut Pro is recommended.

* FOOTAGE WILL REMAIN ON THE SERVER FOR 60 DAYS ONLY.

FROM THE NYFA SERVER AND BURNING A DVD


16/20


HOW TO IMPORT INTO FINAL CUT PRO

1. There are several ways to do this. Either drag the icon of the .mov or .mp4 le intothe bin in FCP, or File>Import>Files>Wherever_your_le_is.mov

2. Once your desired le is in the bin, you might want to check the sequence settingsto make sure they are what you want. You can do this by control-clicking (right clicking)on the sequence and selecting the Settings tab. There you should see.

Make sure that your sequence is as shown.

3. Drag your clip into the timeline. You may need to render (select the clip, command +R).In fact, most likely you will. Yes. You will.




17/20


NEXT STEP: EXPORT A QUICKTIME REFERENCE FILE

1. Ok, so you know you can use the home and end keys to travel to the beginning and endof your timeline, right? Make some in and out points (shortcut keys I and O, respectively)at the beginning and end of your clip.

2. Go to File> export> quicktime movie

On yours, though, it wont be gray. I promise.




18/20


3. Look familiar? It should. Well not the le names and stuff. But overall. Anyway, justmake sure you uncheck make movie self-contained and keep the setting as currentsettings.

4. This might take a while Once it has nished, you will have a Quicktime ReferenceFile of your footage, which can be burned to a DVD to play in most DVD players. But to

do this, we have to use a different program. One more, I promise.

UNCHECK THIS




19/20


IN iDVD or DVD STUDIO PRO

1. Ok, so you have a quicktime reference le of what you want to burn on DVD. If youreusing iDVD its real simple, just drag the icon into a menu you create and itll put it on there.Then click burn. If youre using DVD Studio Proand youre a snob.go to step 2.

2. This is where you should drag your quicktime reference le. Or click that import buttonand do it that way. Whatever oats your ice cream. Besides root beer. Anyway, once thatsdone, if you dont want a menu:

3. The outline tab is where you wantto go next. Here you want to click onUntitled_disc (or, if you named itbecause youre a snob[just kiddingI love you]) and go to the window on
