So You Want to Make a TV Show- 2nd Period- Class #8

Dana was nice today. She set out coffee for the students, figuring those who had to wake up for a second period class on the Monday after spring break might need a little jump-start, so this way they didn't fall asleep and she didn't have to drop a book on the desk near their head or something. That would be just embarrassing for all involved.

"Welcome back, everyone. It sounds like you all had a very interesting week, and hopefully everyone at the very least has sobered up by now," she began, "especially since I'm going easy on you. Let's face it, most of you are only going to be half-paying attention to me today anyway. So I'm breaking from the syllabus and instead giving you all a project due next week. Today we're going to be looking at some of the camera equipment that gets used.

"I have one here that you can check out and try out," she said, patting a camera affixed to a tripod. "You break it, you buy it, and you may have to get down and give me 20. Also, we have smaller, hand-held cameras that you're going to take with you for the week. Find and record some interesting footage for next week's class. When we work on editing, that's what we're going to use to splice things together. Get some action footage, interview someone, just bring me something. It doesn't need to be sports-related, either, so though if you bring me something that we can put in our broadcast, that's a bonus. The only rules are: don't use these in class without explicit permission as I don't want the other teachers to hate me, and do not- do not- use these for anything I'd have to take to the principal. There's a reason you got these after spring break."

"Any department store probably," Hannibal answered. "They go on your feet and they're great exercise!"

"On my feet? And they roll?" Adora was trying to imagine this. "Do you use them for exercise?"

"There're wheels on them," he explained. "Four of them. It's kind of like having little cars on your feet."

It was not.

"Oh! Will I need a license?" Adora wondered.

"Nope!" Hannibal said. "No, they're not that much like cars."

"I am intrigued, Hannibal," Adora admitted. "I think perhaps you should teach me this roller skating now. If it is exercise, we can film it for class!"

Oh, wow, this was just...too good to pass up.

"Sure, I'll film you trying to do that!"

"You are on," Adora said, feeling confident despite her lack of knowledge about what roller skating entailed. "But you'll also be on roller skates."

"...sure." Okay, that was a wrench in his plan but he could work it and just stand still or something. "You're on!"
