KANTIPUR FILM ACADEMY’S DIPLOMA IN FILM ACTING COURSE PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS WITH THE RESOURCES SUCH AS FILM EQUIPMENT, LIVE FILM SHOOTS AND THE TECHNICAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL TECHNIQUES NECESSARY FOR ACTING IN FILMS WITH THE GUIDANCE OF PROFESSIONAL MENTORS SO AS TO RENDER THEM WITH THE RIGHT PLATFORM TO ENHANCE THEIR SKILLS BEFORE ENTERING THE REAL CINEMATIC WORLD.
WE TRAIN THEM TO FACE THE LIVE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS THE CAMERA BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW PHENOMENAL THE DIRECTOR’S STORY CONCEPTUALIZATION MAYBE BUT A FILM IS FIRSTLY JUDGED BY THE ACTORS AS THEY APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. SO, ACTORS HAVE A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING THE TRUE SPICE AND FEELING OF THE MOVIE TO THE AUDIENCE’S LIKING. THAT’S WHY OUR STUDENTS LEARN THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF ACTING TECHNIQUES, FUNDAMENTALS OF SCRIPT AND TEXT ANALYSIS, ON-CAMERA EXERCISES, FILM SHOOTS, FILM BUSINESS, INTERMEDIATE TRAINING ON VOCAL, MOVEMENT AND IMPROVISATION WORK AND MORE.
EACH DAY CLASSES WILL RUN FOR 3 HOURS FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY. IF REQUIRED THE STUDY INVOLVES ADDITIONAL TIME IN THE EVENINGS AND ON WEEKENDS FOR CLASSES, REHEARSALS, AUDITIONING AND SHOOTING FOR PROJECTS WITH THE STUDENTS STUDYING FILM DIRECTION. NO SIGNIFICANT PRIOR EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE IS ASSUMED. THE PROGRAM IS TAUGHT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND NEPALI.
AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE THE STUDENTS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE SKILLS ROOTED IN FILM ACTING BUT APPLICABLE TO SCREEN ACTING, MANY ACTING PROJECTS DEPICTING VARIOUS CHARACTERS AND A ONE-YEAR DIPLOMA. EACH THESIS FILM IS CELEBRATED IN THE ACADEMY AS SCREENING IS OPEN TO CAST, CREW, FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS, FILM JOURNALISTS AND INVITED GUESTS WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE EVALUATED THROUGH THEIR ACTING SKILLS AND SUGGESTED FOR NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS IF NEEDED.
