In its very essence, acting is recreating behavior, action, and reaction in a situation as closely as possible it would be in reality. It is truly powerful to drag your audience to a make-believe world convincingly enough to stir their very soul. The keen observation of human behavior in real life, accentuated by offering your own twist through your imagination and creativity, is bound to be your two most favored modes to create unforgettable characters. Through interactive lessons and the skills to notice minute layers and subtle changes in human behavior, we build actors that are individualistic in every approach; artists whose imagination is limitless and observation simply unparalleled.

Concentration and Coordination

What sets an actor apart from the crowd of the artiste is their ability to rely on their senses, perceive the world around them diligently, and project it to the viewers with careful coordination of all their senses. At our institute, actors are led to tap into their sensual memory in order to invoke an emotional reaction suitable for the moment in the scene. This technique effectively enables aspirants to deliver natural performances.

They will also acquire first-hand experience on the importance of chiaroscuro in creating realistic 3D images or 2D flat images for dramatic effect.

With this course, our faculty will also establish an easy-going relationship between the camera and the actors by directing them to various shots such as close-up shots, wide-angle shots, and mid-shot.

Reading Film Scripts

Understanding the intricacies of a character while reading the script provides actors with the intricate details to bring out the subtleties on the camera in a refined manner.

The course will also equip you with techniques that help lift the character from a two-dimensional space on a sheet of paper to a three-dimensional reality in front of the camera.

Mise-En-Scene

Although the weight of a scene becoming massively effective lies on the shoulders of an actor, it would be to no avail if a set lacks the necessary cinematography, props, art direction, and others in order to provide the required depth, intensity, and effect. While the visual presentation of the scene sets the tone, a systematic comprehension of the technical aspect helps the character assimilate and associate with the scene perfectly.

Character Building

Characters don’t exist in a vacuum. A unique concoction of financial background, education, upbringing, and surroundings makes them who they are. It is, therefore, imperative to understand their psychology through the help of five Qs of character building, namely Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), Financial Quotient (FQ), Social Quotient (SQ), and Charisma Quotient (CQ).

Improvisations

Considered one of the core techniques in acting, improvisation is a state of a heightened sense of communication on the actor’s end. In fact, some of the best moments of cinema are ‘off scripted’ or more formally known as improvised. Improvs often give an actor chance to connect with the character by stretching their imagination with their own flavors of spontaneity. At JGSA, we encourage our students to give characters their own uniqueness through the fine-tuned technique of improvisation.

Acting for the Camera and Understanding the Basics

Acting on screen is relatively different from acting in front of a live audience.

Through this course, we will teach you to convey your emotions when conversing with other characters as much as we focus on teaching you to emote the silences.
