ACTING FOR FILM
The AFA Degree Program in Acting for Film allows students to focus exclusively on their professional and artistic development. Unlike a standard undergraduate program students are able to focus on the field they wish to pursue immediately and without the usual array of distribution. It is a stand alone program rather than a component of a longer bachelor’sdegree program structured for transfer. Classes include Scene Study, Acting for Film, Meisner Technique, Voice and Movement, Monologues, Improvisation, Audition Technique and Stage Combat. A complete list of classes can be found below. In addition to the course work, students perform numerous projects, both on-camera and on stage.
New York Film Academy degree programs are offered at our LosAngeles Campus at Universal Studios. Qualified students have the option of completing course work at the New York Film Academy in New York City in a one-year non- degree program and requesting that their course work be accepted for advanced standing and start in the second year of the degree program at the Los Angeles campus. In order to do so, students must apply and be accepted to the degree programin Los Angeles.

ACTING FOR FILM
AfA IN ACTING dEGREE pROGRAM OVERVIEW
Based on an academic school year, the curriculum in the Associate of Fine Art in Acting for Film program is divided into four semesters. The first semester concentrates onbuilding a foundation in the acting craft, and the second semester works on applying it to screen acting. During the first semester, students participate in a broad array of class work that introduces them to, and trains them in, the leading acting techniques. First semester courses include: Acting for Film, Movement, Scene Study, Voice, and Shakespeare. These courses build towards a fully realizedperformance in a staged production. The first semester arms students with the techniques and confidence they need to create believable performances for the camera in the second semester and beyond. In the second semester, in addition to attending classes, students apply what they have learned to a series of on camera exercises. The camera exercises are designed to develop their screen acting ability.Second Semester courses build on the work done in the first semester. At the end of the semester each student performs in a digitally taped production, which is edited and becomes a part of his or her acting reel. In addition, the students participate in a showcase performed in front of an invited audience, their instructors, and their classmates.
The Third and Fourth Semester of the programare designed to help the student create a Final Portfolio that will serve as the student’s “passport” into the professional world of acting. All work during these last two semesters is held to a higher standard and evaluated at a professional level.
While the first year concentrates on exposing the student to acting “basics,” second year coursework is geared toward a higher echelon of understandingin terms of craft and discipline. The second year is more specialized and the individual students, now aware of their strengths as performers, have more freedom to exploit those strengths through the projects they chose. As a result, work becomes refined and sharpened.
Students spend additional hours each week beyond class time on film shoots and rehearsal. Students should be aware that, giventhe different nature of various projects, these hours vary from student to student.
