Monday 25th May
★ Joyscroll Studio · Hoxton
Learn how to be shot.
Step onto a fully lit set in Hoxton and master your screen craft with cinema-quality cameras and expert coaching from a working Cinematographer and a professional actor. This isn't acting class — you already know how to act. This is about what happens when the cameras are real, the lights are on, and none of it feels familiar.
Calibrating for the lens
Understand how the camera sees you — and how to work with it, not against it.
Two-person scenes
Dynamic scenes with professional off-camera partnership and real scene partners.
Eyelines, marks & continuity
Technical mastery of the things that separate a screen actor from a stage actor.
Live monitor feedback
See yourself on the monitor in real time. Watch what works and what doesn't.

★ Frequently asked questions
When will I get my script?
At least 3 days before class — enough time to be off-book and camera-ready.
Do I need to have Spotlight?
It helps us give you a script that complements you, but it's not required. If you don't have any materials we'll provide a script that works for where you are.
What happens in class?
You'll get a technical rundown of your scene, then we go for a take. You'll receive direction, run it again, get notes, and come back for a final take later in the session.
How many people will I be on camera with?
You start with a one-shot. If someone else in the class has the opposite character and we think you'd benefit from a two-shot, we'll go for it.
Will I get my footage?
Yes — within 48 hours. You'll have one week to download it before it's deleted.
