BA (Hons) Acting for Film

Overview

Develop your performance and specialise in film acting

This BA (Hons) Acting for Film degree offers an intense focus on developing your specialist skills in screen acting and the opportunity to combine this with your choice of spotlight skills. Spotlight skills vary from year to year but have included street fighting, horse riding, period and social dance, and acting through song.

You will cultivate your own bespoke acting approach from an introduction to a broader range of acting practitioners such as Stanislavski, Hagen, Adler and Meisner, alongside the camera technique skills necessary for a convincing, truthful camera performance.

You will work on campus and on location, and gain experience in acting on small and larger scale film productions as you grow your knowledge of other aspects of film and screen acting and its history. You will develop your understanding of the film and television industry and how this contributes to and reflects contemporary culture throughout your studies.

This course is taught in the University of Chichester Conservatoire and is delivered across a blend of both of our campuses.
