Writing and Shooting a dialog

1. Write a dialogue between two people. This dialogue can be about any school appropriate topic, but must be 45 seconds in length.

2. Video tape your dialogue. Ask two people to act in your dialogue and you will tape them.

In order to properly cut this video together, you must video tape your dialogue 3 times.

- Once as a two shot, where both actors are on screen for the dialogue.

- Once focused on one actor throughout the entire dialogue. Once while they read your dialogue, and once while they are listening to the other actor.

- Once focused on the other actor thoughout the entire dialogue. Same as above.

3. Cut all the videos together, including all the shots throughout the video. Use the methods taught in class.
