Being real in front of the camera: Philiboss, drama teacher, conveys a feeling of love through an improvised song. French subtitles.

Being real in front of the camera: conveying a feeling of love

An improvised song, in front of the camera, with no prepared text. A man sings so that he will be heard: the whole challenge is to be believed.

His demonstration as a drama teacher comes down to one sentence: conveying a feeling of love in front of the camera, without faking anything. Nothing is learned by heart, and yet everything must ring true.

In Châteauvieux, at Vahina-Paradis B&B, a dog photo safari is offered: on holiday, you walk your dog and go home with its photo.

The questions this scene raises

• How do you convey a feeling without showing it?
• What makes an actor believable in front of the camera?
• Where does acting end, and where does the feeling begin?

These questions are about the art of improvisation: that is the subject of the course.
