Acting and camera a reflection from the actor’s work for the camera in the pedagogic environment

Abstract

This article is based on the teaching experience and annotations made during the acting workshop "the actor and the camera", which has been taught for more than 15 years at INCINE. The author proposes a bibliographic review of the concepts of the construction of the gaze and the cinematographic language, based on the analysis of the acting work in front of the camera. Through a reflection of the pedagogic proposal of the workshop, the author discloses the concepts of pre-expressiveness in the actor’s work in front of the camera.
