I'll skip the how's and the whys and get right to the story. This is a story about me directing a live news broadcast for my TC class.
Last night I realized I didn't have the papers nessesary to complete the assigment. I woke up early in hopes of getting to class early so that another student would let me barrow their papers and make photocopies (the papers were the diectors script and the grading sheet)
So I woke up and got to class 20minutues early where in fact another student let me barrow the grade sheet and directors sheet and make copies. So, then I had the sheets. This was the first time for me seeing them. The day I had to produce this news cast. So you know how I am. I'm just taking it all lightly and goofing off with the boys (my entire class is boys besides me) and so the other directors (2 ahead of me in line) go and they rehearse and stop and start like everyone does and some times the cameras or switcher or audio or whoever messes up and they start again. Blah blah so then it's my turn.
So i get in the directors chair, and Byron, who was director on THE SHOW last year sits next to me because he's running the teleprompter. And we're good friends so he and I are goofing off n stuff. And I got all my audio cues written in my script but I have no idea what i'm doing. So everyone gets set and I go through a run through.
I NEVER STOP. The teacher never calls cut. the run through was PERFECT.
So then I was like "Why wasn't I taping that!" And the teacher laughs and we go through it for a grade this time and tape it.
PERFECT AGAIN.
After never practicing and never seeing the script I did it all PERFECT. No one in my class has done that. So all the boys were like laughing and joking about how terrible I did and why was I even here? Basically I impressed the pants off of all of them. And I thanked them all for doing such a good job and they thanked me and basically I rule.
The End.
