Acting For Film, TV and New Media

This course trains you to be an imaginative, technically skilful and employable screen actor. The programme has strong industry connections and is, in part, based at a sound stage at PYTCH, a campus of production sound stages and studios in Bristol, where you can gain experience of industry level practice with working practitioners. The programme offers a cohesive approach in which core acting skills are fully integrated to ensure your craft is flexible enough to allow you to develop a personal process but singular enough to offer an in-depth exploration of the art of acting for screen as a specific discipline. Your professional practice is developed from short film to long form drama, from sketch comedy to Voice Over, and the latest VR technologies. You work towards appearing in a professionally produced film as well as being supported to prepare for employment with classes in audition technique, self-taping and self-marketing. A showcase screening for agents, and an industry trip to New York support your career progression. The programme equips you with the essential technical and creative skills required of a working screen actor, motivated artist and independent thinker as well as the critical thinking
and research skills required by postgraduate study.
