Diploma in Stage and Film Acting

Overview

  • Eligibility - 12th pass
  • Duration - 1 year

Stage and Film Acting are two distinct forms of performing arts that share similarities but also have significant differences in terms of presentation, techniques and audience engagement. In stage acting actors perform live in front of an audience. The performance happens in real time and there are no retakes or editing. This is a great challenge for actors performing on stage. In Film Acting, scenes are recorded on camera, allowing for multiple takes and the ability to edit and piece together the final product. While both stage and Film Acting required a deep understanding of acting techniques, each form demands specific skills to adapt to the medium effectively. Some actors excel in both.
