Movie Director Interview<\/h1>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

A world famous movie director (made up name given by audience suggestion) is interviewed on a movie based chat show by an interview about their recent movie, previous work and student films and trailers. At any point the movie director or the interview can ask for a clip of a film to be played, and they can also ask for clips to be paused, rewound or fast forwarded. They cover multiple clips during the interview. 2-3 improvisers play the actors in the movie clips, on the other side of the stage from the interview, and they do the dialogue, action sequences, CGI and all.<\/p>\n

Example<\/h2>\n

Interviewer: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Movie Night with me, Graham Filmgeek. Tonight I’m joined by a very exciting director, Glenda von Stapler. Please give her a welcome!
\nGlenda: Thankz you zo much, I really do appreciate thiz warm English welcome.
\nInterviewer: Thank you Glenda, and I believe the warm English welcome is what inspired your first film?
\nGlenda: Thatz right. I have been here zo long now that I almost feel Englishz. So I made zis movie, A Russian in Morden.
\nInterviewer: Morden??
\nGlenda: Yez, itz my favourite tube stop, I zo love the culture there.
\nInterviewer: Well let’s see a clip.
\nWe cut to the other side of the stage where three actors bring the film to life.<\/em>
\nMorden Local: Welcome to Morden!
\nRussian: Hello I am from Russia, I have heard magnificent things about this place.
\nMorden Local: You have?
\nRussian: Yes! An amazing restaurant that serves the finest cuisine.
\nMorden Local: Kebaby?
\nInterview: Pause. Now was that product placement we just saw?
\nGlenda: Yez, I admit, my entire movie career haz been financed by a South London kebab shop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Teaching Purpose<\/h2>\n

A fun way to teach group listening, teamwork and support. The director has to listen to the interview. The actors have to listen to the director. The interviewer and director have to listen to the actors. Everyone is listening to everyone else and finding it together.<\/p>\n

It’s also a great game for Character and Spontaneity as the actors playing the movie clips will be thrown into situations on the spot and will have to jump into it without thinking.<\/p>\n
