UD Acting for the Camera
Ms. VanHentenryck
Click here for some "behind the scenes" shots of the making of the film "Student Body President".
This is a group effort of both Ms. Rathus' Filmmaking and Ms. VanHentenryck's Acting for the Camera.
Acting for the Camera's spoof on the popular Youtube series, 'Actors Read Reviews' in which professional actors perform the actual text of reviews customers have written and posted online. For this project, each student searched and chose their own review to rehearse and perform. We shot the final performances in class and edited them together to make this film. Please enjoy!
In Semester 1, each Acting for the Camera student chose, rehearsed, and performed a theatrical monologue that we adapted for the screen. Other students served as the film crew and each video was edited by the actor starring in it. This project taught us to prepare a performance for film, and taught us about what goes on behind the camera with the crew/during the editing process. Please enjoy!

All of the Filmmaking classes and the Acting for Camera class worked on an ambitious, collaborative film, written in the Spring of 2020, filmed in the Spring of 2021, and finished in December 2021. We did a full-day “on-campus field trip” film shoot May of 2021.
Over 70 HM Community members were involved in the film.
