Our tween short film production class explores essential filmmaking concepts, including ensemble building and collaboration, detailed script analysis, comprehensive film and filmmaking terminology, creative writing, acting techniques, directing principles, and video editing fundamentals.
Students will collaborate as an ensemble to develop and create original short film projects. Throughout the course, students will have meaningful opportunities to write scripts, perform as actors, direct scenes, and serve in various crew positions for the films.
These classes are intentionally designed to be taken repeatedly across multiple sessions, as students will work on different scenes, new material, and be progressively introduced to advanced acting tools and techniques with each iteration.
In our tween classes, students are encouraged to observe their fellow classmates during performances and offer objective, constructive feedback based on observable changes and improvements following directorial notes or adjustments. This observation and feedback practice is fundamental to the learning process and helps develop a critical understanding of The Barrow Group's distinctive approach to storytelling and character development.
This class teaches our proven approach to storytelling fundamentals and introduces young students to the same professional tools and techniques that our adult actors use in their work. We believe that acting is fundamentally about play and authentic self-expression, and our students learn most effectively in an environment of relaxed, positive reinforcement and supportive collaboration.
What distinguishes The Barrow Group School from many other studios across New York City is our commitment to teacher excellence. All of our instructors have participated in an extensive and rigorous teacher training program within our studio. When your child takes a class with us, you can be confident that the teacher has trained for multiple years studying The Barrow Group's distinctive approach to acting and teaching.
