I will also re-read this structure and create a slightly more relevant one that includes DanceWorks in the examples, but this is a good place to start :)

(Morning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies)

The sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining, everybody's in the play
And don't you know it's a beautiful new day?
Hey, hey, hey

Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city, on the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today
Hey, hey, hey

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for
Ah, ah, ah

Oh, Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

(Mr. Blue Sky)
(Mr. Blue Sky)
(Mr. Blue Sky-y)

Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there, Mr. Blue (Sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (Sky)
Look around, see what you do (Blue)
Everybody smiles at you

Recording Audio

Rooms available FS001 (for those that need college computer access)

FS004

FS011

You will need:

Device to access audacity (college computer or own laptop)

Headphones (college or own)

Device to listen to audio/backing track (phone / tablet / laptop / computer)

SEPARATE device to record onto

(phone / tablet / laptop / computer)

(2 devices in total)

2 different ways to record the 'pure voice' audio

1. Listen to the backing track on your phone/tablet via headphones and record DIRECTLY into audacity (unsure if college computers have the capabilities for this); import backing track separately.

2. Listen to the backing track on the computer/laptop via headphones and record your voices into your phone, then import this file into Audacity. You will need to use an online converter to convert your voice recording from M4A file to a WAV or MP3 file. Import backing track separately.

REMEMBER: your audio recording should be voice ONLY you should not be able to hear the backing track in the background of the recording. This will need importing to audacity separately and then lining up with the vocals.

You could record individual vocal lines separately, or all together in a group.

Remember, I'm not looking for perfection, just for you to explore the vocal layering techniques.

Once you have recorded your vocals, export the Audacity project as a WAV file and use this to build your footage around.

15:00 - 16:30

FS004

15:00 - James will be coming into demonstrate the camera equipment we have for you to book out, e.g. the stabilising gimble.

When James has finished, use this time to begin recording your footage (you only have next week to gather all footage and start editing).

Again, not looking for perfection, just for you to get to grips with the process of using different camera angles and layering visual footage onto layered vocals :).

Acting Exercises for the Camera - How to Practice At Home By Yourself

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Camera shy? Here are some acting exercises for the camera Acting in front of a camera can feel unnatural. The haunting, all-seeing lens can inspire all […]

# data[].attributes.body
There are seven basic shots (sometimes called camera angles or framing) that actors need to concern themselves with:

• Master shot (also called the wide shot): this is a wide-angle shot of the entire scene. Usually only a small portion of this shot is used in the final product. And many times the wide shot will be the only rehearsal you get.

• Two shot (also called a double): a tighter shot of the two (sometimes more) actors in the scene; usually framed from the lower portion of the chest to the top of their heads. Shooting tighter enhances the elements of storytelling by creating a greater degree of intimacy, conflict and/or tension.

• Over-the-shoulder shot: this shot includes the back of one or both shoulders and sometimes a portion of the back of the head of one actor, while capturing the other actor’s face, framing the shot from his/her collarbone to the top of his/her head. Again, this is done to enrich the storytelling by boosting the level of intimacy, conflict and/or tension.

• Reverse over-the-shoulder shot: just what it sounds like; the reverse of the shot described above. This time the actor who had his/her back to the camera is now facing the camera.

• Close-up: a shot, from the neck to the top of the head of one actor. This and the ECU (see below) create the most intimate moments or add the most tension.

• Reverse close-up: again, exactly what it sounds like; the reverse shot of the other actor, making sure his/her size in the frame is the same as the actor in the first close-up.

• Extreme close-up (ECU): directors use this shot to emphasize a moment. It could a bit of an actor’s face, i.e., the eyes or mouth; it could be a person’s hand or a single object.

The key thing to remember is that the tighter the shot, the less you have to do. That doesn’t mean that what’s going on inside of you is less, just your outward expression of it. Think of it like this: how would you communicate a message to someone standing twelve feet away? Now think how you would communicate the same message to someone standing a foot away? The tighter the shot, the less you need to do. But you always need to be fully engaged

You may work in pairs,

Person 1 will play the sound clip so it appears as a voice over,

Person 2 will face act to the sound clip.

Just to confirm, you are not miming the words, you are only face acting!

Then swap over.

You should aim for one minute so do not have to complete the full clip.

You may plan/ practice/ do as many takes as you like.

You do not have to do the same clip as your partner

It needs to be one continues clip, in up close shot (face and upper shoulders)

It should have a dramatic feel

This is a challenge, it is not easy to pull off.

If you both complete this task, find another example of a monologue/ speech to camera to facial perform.
