Acting education in Turkey and acting for film

One of the oldest actions of humans "to play" has changed and gained new forms throughout time and as a result "acting" has come forward as a profession. The invention of cinema has provoked new ways of acting by using the techniques of theatre as a base and these reforms have created a new form of acting called "acting on camera". Concordantly, educational institutions and courses have been opened in many countries. When the educational institutions in Turkiye are examined, it is seen that although many universities in Turkey has fine arts faculties with "acting" departments, the education is limited with theatre acting. In the structure abovementioned, when the opportuinites in the acting segment are considered for the actors, the importance of acting on camera would be clarified. In this context, it would be functional for the acting students to learn theoritical and practical knowledge / experience about this field and would also have a preparatory function for them to work in movie and television sectors. At this point,it would be to the point that the methods determined and/or chosen for the acting educational institutions should be reviewed and expanded by including the methods for "acting on camera".
