Also Due 9/16 - Screen Test an Actor

By Thursday you need to write a screen test, film it in the studio, and give the camera to Mr. Wolotsky or Jonne Trees.

Here is an example of a short screen play. We model the whole thing in class and film it to.


Actors:
Dan W as Dan W
Spencer M as Spencer M

Scene: Mr.W is signing passes. He is sitting.
There is a line of kids. All kids should be waiting in line patiently and not talking.
Spencer is second.

Alternating camera shots
One camera should be behind desk and one to the side of the desk

Very affable, friendly conversation
First Kid:second
Mr. W There You go...
First Kid: Thanks
Mr. W Sure, see you in a bit

Conversation begins very friendly as did first conversation
Spencer: Hey, Can I get a pass for 1st?
Mr. W - Sure Man.(begins to fill out pass) Wait a minute(Mr. W grabs the ineligable list and looks at it)
Spencer, you are ineligable.

Spencer: after a short pause: I know I know.
Mr. W, now angry and disappointed: What for? That's rediculous.
Spencer, (embarrassed) Mr. Gorey, I owe him a few things
Mr. W, (frustrated now) Spencer, come on. Do you your homework.
Spencer: I know, I know.
Mr. W: Look man, (looks into the camera and speaks slowly)just, do your freaking home work.

Leads into words on screen "Do Your Freaking homework"
