Whitley Road Elementary – Acting for the Camera

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

The purpose of this course is to apply skills introduced in theatre classes to acting for the camera. Through television, film, and commercial copy, students are introduced to basic on-camera techniques and terminology. By the end of the course, students will be comfortable with on-camera acting techniques, on-camera blocking, business, subtext, and reactions. Through technique exercises, script analysis, and scene study, students will expand their range of emotional, intellectual, physical, and vocal expressiveness and be able to successfully prepare for on-camera auditioning.
