EYE LINE: Do not read your lines directly into the camera. Look slightly off camera..
TAKES: Please provide 3 different and unique takes of the following scene
Please have someone read the opposite characters rights off-camera if possible.
CONTEXT: Your dad decided to build a backyard pool himself. He is now stuck knee deep in cement at the bottom of the pool.
You are at the top of the pool looking down on him.
SCRIPT:
The Kid is standing at the top of the pool looking down at their dad stuck in cement. The kid is not upset seeing dad stuck in cement, it's almost as if it’s something that happens every day. The kid is just staring vacantly, not scowling or looking at dad judgmentally.
DAD:
"In hindsight, probably shouldn’t have tried to build the pool myself....
It dried so fast"
KID: (Turns and yells over his shoulder for his mom because she will have the answer)
"Mom!!!."
