Acting for the Camera: A Teacher's 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 Teacher's 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 I—Equipment
  • Part II—Filmmaking and Crew Positions
  • Part III—Shooting Scenes
  • Part IV—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.
