Performance Scale: Stage vs. Screen Techniques

Section role: supports the 'Bridging Technique and Technology' section as the teacher formalizes concepts, connecting student performances to professional theory. Slides: (1) Title — 'Performance Scale: Bridging Technique and Technology'; (2) Recap Challenge — bullets: briefly recall the 'Stadium Version' and 'Selfie Version' from Section 2, prompt for student observations; (3) Vocal Tools on Stage — image of an actor projecting on a large stage, bullets: 'Projection' for distance, 'Expansive Tone'; (4) Vocal Tools for Screen — close-up image of an actor speaking to camera, bullets: 'Vocal Nuance', 'Sharp Diction' even for whispers; (5) Physical Tools on Stage — image of an actor using 'Grand Gestures' and broad 'Framing', bullets: freedom of movement, communicating to distant audience; (6) Physical Tools for Screen — image of an actor within a tight camera frame, bullets: 'Contained Acting', 'Micro-expressions', importance of 'Eye-line' to the lens; (7) Key Takeaway — bullets: acting is 'contained' for media, not 'less' acting; media dictates specific techniques. Closing slide: 'How does knowing these techniques change your approach to observing performances?' — sets up the individual application in Section 4.
