Screen Acting, Thursday Afternoon
Daisy, though pleased with how her turn running detention had worked out, was looking a bit bored in class, today. The usual array of recording equipment had been swapped for displaying equipment and editing equipment, ranging from the old school reel to reel players and editors to several desktop computers loaded with video editing software.
"Okay, two weeks ago I asked you guys to film a scene for your final class project. Today, you're all taking on the most hated role in all of cinema: the critic. We're going to watch each other's scenes and critique them. Thumbs up, thumbs down, love it, hate it, give us a sound-byte we can warp into using in an ad. Then, I want you all to turn your scene into a preview, using some of the things your classmates said to advertise. For example, say I say your scene is 'trying to hard too be like a mix between Casablanca and Home Alone, while failing at being either'. You could say 'like a mix between Casablanca and Home Alone' says Fandom critic Daisy Adair in a dramatic tone, and people will think it's good."
Daisy stepped to the side to get a seat and paused. "Please tell me none of you tried to make a mix between Casablanca and Home Alone. Because that would get you detention, or something."
[ooc: scenes can, of course, totally be handwaved, but I'd love it if each of you would post a quick description for others tosnark at react to.]

Re: Show your scene
"Congratulations. You've just managed to become Kenneth Brannaugh."
[ooc: no offense meant to K. Brannaugh or his fans anywhere. no animals were harmed in the making of this comment.]
Re: Show your scene
Jamie beamed at what he assumed was a compliment. "Thank you! Is there anything I can do to improve this?"
