fandomhigh | 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."

Like you got married over spring break!

Pass notes, talk, have coffee, fall asleep and get a book dropped on the desk by your head...

Go ahead and toy around with the camera on the tripod. Look inside, see if you can get it to record, or ask questions.

They're little hand-held video cameras, nothing fancy. Pick them up, see if you can get away with taping someone in class (it's allowed in this one), or just talk.

Who may look way less hungover and more awake than most of the students.

Potential SP from me (more than usual) as month end means I may be pulling some overtime. (And while the money's nice, does anyone else feel sorta hungover from a week on the cruise? Or did I play Brooke too much?)

Hannibal King

After being massive idiot yesterday, Hannibal was covering most of that up by doodling in his notebook and doing absolutely anything he could to not give his bad mood away.

It wasn't much working but he wasn't going to stop.

Hannibal snagged a camera and took a few seconds of getting familiar with the buttons before he turned it on and tried to focus on someone in the class.

Adora

Lois Lane

Adora had taken some coffee and sat with her hands gripping the cup in an attempt to keep them warm. She was not fond of snow when it wasn't Frosta-created.

And if her eyes were rather fixed in a certain direction, well, call her confused.

Why did Lois have a class on Mondays again? God, she needed to work on her scheduling skills.

Lois picked up a camera and hoped to god she didn't break this thing.

T.R. Wexler

Adora inspected the camera and started pushing buttons to figure out how operate the device properly.

"Oh! Everything is so close!" She exclaimed, nearly dropping her camera as she found the zoom.

Stuck on zoom, Adora could barely tell who or what she was looking at through the eyepiece of her camera as she whipped it around. "That cannot be hair," she murmured, pausing for a moment.

"It's hair, it's just not on my head," Hannibal said, having stopped moving when he noticed Adora and her camera getting closer.

At the sound of his voice, Adora pulled her eye away from her camera. "Oh! Hannibal, I'm sorry!"

And curious, still. "Wait, what hair was that?"

"You had your camera pointed up my nose," he said and snickered. "So, nose hair."

Adora giggled, "Well, that is certainly not the riveting story I was hoping to find with my camera!"

"What, you don't want to look up my nose?" he teased. "I'm sure you'd find something up there. The way to my small brain, probably."

"I don't know that the camera is small enough to find your brain, but I could certainly try," she teased back.

Yuck, coffee, but oooh! Cameras, and Turtle was also wondering if she was the only person in existence excited to be back from the grind. Sure, the cruise was lovely and awesome, but there was work to do! Exciting work! Money-making work! And she had probably about a gazillion more awesome vacations like that waiting for her in the future.

"I think that'd require you sticking the camera up my nose which would hurt," he said. "So, let's just assume that my brain's there and say you could find much more interesting things than me to film. Too bad we didn't have these last week."
