Acting for the Camera: A Teacherâs Guide is designed to help acting teachers create a hands-on course at their institution.

The book provides a framework for setting up an engaging course where students can develop on-camera skills by practicing from both sides of the camera. It offers instructors a specific acting-for-the-camera technique to facilitate an experiential course and achieve dynamic on-screen performances with their students. Actors will develop their skills by demonstrating the technical aspects of filmmaking that influence the final post-production performance, including cinematography (lenses, camera angles, lighting), sound recording, and editing. Acting for the Camera: A Teacherâs Guide details individual crew duties and the basic grammar of filmmaking, guiding the instructor through a full semester of teaching the subject. It is organized into four key sections:

Part One â" Equipment
Part Two â" Filmmaking and Crew Positions
Part Three â" Shooting Scenes
Part Four â" Course Curriculum

Rich with practical resources such as exercises, diagrams, photo examples, and a glossary of film terms, this book is ideal for instructors teaching acting for the camera at a university, a high school, or a private studio workshop.
