Video Production Crew Fall 2013

Here is a short dialogue that we could possibly use

Opening Scene – Guy Checking mail

He sees credit card bill and ignores it – Thinks to himself “I’ll take care of it tomorrow”

At the restaurant (finished eating)

Guy – Hands waiter the bill

Waiter – “Thank you sir. I will be back shortly”

Girl – “Thanks for taking me out tonight”

Guy – “No Problem, did you enjoy your meal?”

Girl – “Yes, I have never been to a restaurant this nice before”

Guy – “Only the best for you”

Waiter – “Sir your card has been rejected”

Guy – nervous laugh “Try this one”

Waiter – “Sorry sir this one has been rejected as well”

Guy – speaking to girl “I may have forgot to pay my bills”

Girl – “I think I’ll take care of this one” Hands waiter her card

Girl – “You really need to keep track of your bills, your building up bad credit that will only hurt you in the long run.” “Buy only the things you need, you did not have to take me to such an expensive restaurant if you know you couldn’t afford it.

Guy – “I know. I am so sorry, this is very embarrassing. I think we are going to have to pass on the movies tonight.”

Waiter – “Thank you miss, please sign here”

Ends with screen saying Credit Cards are for what you want not what you need

I was asked by Michelle (lighting crew head), if we could have a full recording of the Pirate room. She also wants pictures to be taken of the lighting for here culmination.

All,

We will meet at Voorhees at 2:30 pm. It is because I will have to be there for the Haunted Hotel Designer’s Run. So, this is what I decided:

I will bring two of the Panasonic cameras for you to practice videotaping at the theater. It will be more interesting than just filming each other in the studio! Think about documenting a very important project (the Haunted Hotel and behind the set), choose your subject carefully instead of filming for a long time in vain. Make sure that you are not in the way of the other crews.

We will stay there probably for one hour before we go to the studio.

Remind me that we need to bring a green screen (a big piece of fabric) from V321 to the studio.

Reminder to you: From 7 pm to 9 pm, the “Richard III” team will meet for the first time to prepare for videotaping. Whoever is interested, you are welcome to join us. You get Tech hours.

Thank you,

Ryoya

Here is what has been done for the week

• more shots taken of the haunted hotel
• indepth review of Panasonic video cameras
• meet with rep from Federal Reserve about video contest

Enjoy the long weekend,

Randi
