Assignment #1: "Funny Bone"
Congratulations to all twelve competitors that have made it our casting call here at TTS Productions. You will soon find out that, you would be preferred to be watching from the sidelines. You will soon find how difficult this competition will soon turn into, trying to expression emotion of different genres of movies with such an emotionless character. But that is why we picked you, you twelve that we felt were the most talented and showed us through your headshots that you are up to the challenge.
Although, it is only natural that we have some doubts and are unsure of our choices so we are going to test you once again through an auditioning process. We are actually going to put you out on the field with our own profile and see with a little of push you can create for us.
The genre we are looking for in your shots is comedy. We need you to make us laugh, or giggle. Because if you want to make it to the top, we need to know that you have some humor deep down, to know you have what it takes and survive this long journey.
So we have for you a script, we have received from our most talented writers that we had to torture out of....I mean asked nicely for. We hoping you can take this wonderfully lovely script and portray it through a series of three pictures; Must show an introduction, a conflict, and then the punchline/conclusion to the scenario. Bare with us we have search high up into the Shiverpeaks down to the farthest reaches of Istani to search for the funniest writers we could find just for this competition, we have worked hard for you girls.
We have made sure to ask the writers just to make the script as vague as possible, to show how much your girls can think on your toes. Not only must you make a simple series of shots signifying the script and the funny, you must come up with what your character would be saying in each shot. It can be one simple sentence to something more detailed than that. We want to see how creative you can be.
