MA Acting for Film

University of Chichester

Our full-time MA Acting for Film course delivers highly practical training to fully equip you to transition from your undergraduate degree into the modern industry. With the rise of streaming platforms, film, voice and television production is experiencing a golden age. This full time MA is designed to deliver requisite technical and practical training in performance and creative skills to equip students for a more diverse and expansive acting career in the film and television industry. You will be taught by working industry professionals and great emphasis is placed upon working to ‘real-world’ briefs and to ‘real-world’ deadlines. Underpinned by traditional visceral and dynamic acting classes, you will be encouraged to further explore their creativity through screenwriting, film production, directing for screen and editing. Working closely with other Masters students, you will gain further valuable acting and production experience through the numerous film projects within the course itself. These will provide excellent instruction for your better understanding of acting on film. The programme also recognises the significant place the actor has in motion capture performance for the cinema and gaming industry and the demands for combat awareness together with the opportunities offered for voice-over work in radio, television, advertising, audio books, podcasts and ADR.

In addition, yous will explore how to navigate the industry-specific requirements of castings, handling competition, networking and the utilisation of social media for self-promotion. The course also provides critical, self-reflective and analytical aspects of practice-based study at Master’s level and lays the groundwork for further potential study at Doctoral level.
