CHEKHOV ON SET
I booked the job - now what?
You might have taken many “cold read”, audition, and on-camera classes, but have you taken a class that teaches you how to apply your craft in a professional setting after you book the job?
THIS CLASS WILL TEACH YOU:
How sets work. The order of operations.
How to apply the power of the Chekhov Technique on set
The stages of rehearsal that happen on set prior to takes.
How to best use your time between rehearsals, and takes.
Shoot time (your time to shine, but hit your marks)
How to quickly translate the director’s notes into specific, actable, and emotional language that works for you.
Consistency between takes. When to have it, and when not to.
What can you get away with - can you bend the rules?
How to make sure your best take is one that can make it into the movie.
How to increase your chances of working again. What is under your control and what is not.
Intimate scenes, consent at work, and working with an intimacy coordinator.
How to express professional needs, and why to be emotionally independent on set
Post Production. ADR. Why does it work this way, and how does that impact what I can do on set?
You’ll learn how to be a professional:
fully prepared, and never lost on set.
Our class will focus not only on your acting ability but also on the elements you must know in order to be a professional actor on set.
