Acting, when it comes down to it, is all about telling the story in person. There's no point in having a lot of perfect action and improvisation, if ytou can't be serious about what it's all about.
Dramatic scenes are easily the hardest to film as it requires you to truely become part of the scene and be serious about your acting. If you start to smil when you talk about death or pause randomly in a hurried conversation, it will lose all the meaning to the scene and won't be taken seriously. Thats fine if your making a comedy, but in almost every other genre you'd begin to lose the story.
So the trick to taking drama seriously is imagining you in a similar situation. If you've ever, say, forgotten your homework or nearly got caught doing something you shouldn't, recall that moment of mass panic and stress use that emotion in the scene. If you think about you truly being there and not just being a character it will become easier and more believable.
So that's all for dramatic acting, stay tuned
