COURSE DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
New York Film Academy Australia delivers the nationally recognised program CUA51020 – Diploma of Screen and Media with selected subjects focusing on acting. Our programs are unlike any other actor training programs in the world: cutting-edge explorations into the art and practice of acting for the screen.
What makes our Acting Programs unique?
Practical Hands-On Experience
The best way to learn how to act in films is to actually act in films. Our students begin acting in front of the camera from the first week of the program. Every week, students get the opportunity to practice the techniques and skills they have gained in class with exercises that are shot and reviewed.
Professional Faculty
Our instructors have extensive experience both nationally and internationally on TV and film, and are professional actors in their own right.
Film Productions
Many of our programs feature the production of short films or scenes that are created by and star our acting students. These are shot and edited together and may be used for students’ own reels.
Filmmaking Resources
Our Acting for Film and Filmmaking programs work hand-in-hand, providing all of our students with resources such as film equipment, live film shoots, and a network of filmmakers, screenwriters, producers, and editors that are developed before entering the real world.
Reel Materials
We provide all of our students with shot and edited materials that are suitable to put on an actor’s reel.
CUA51020 – DIPLOMA OF SCREEN AND MEDIA – ACTING FOR FILM: SEMESTER ONE
The first semester concentrates on building a foundation in the craft of acting, using training techniques rooted in the theater but applicable to screen acting. Students participate in a broad array of core acting classes that introduce them to finding the actor within, while simultaneously training their instrument to do the kind of technical, emotional, and physical work necessary for film acting. Since we believe that film actors also benefit immeasurably from working in front of a live audience, in addition to work in front of the camera, training in the first semester builds towards a live performance.
Learning Goals
- Explore and learn the principles of acting technique.
- Learn the vocabulary of filmmaking for actors.
- Become familiarized with the logistics of performance on a film set.
