Question of the day: What is one positive thing that has resulted from the coronavirus? I have seen photos around the world of cities before and after the lockdown and the air quality has improved greatly in big cities like Delhi and Sao Paulo. People are saying the air is "positively alpine".
Warm-up: Last night, I watched a performance of "Jane Eyre" by the National Theatre of Great Britain. (It was great!) One of the actors played a dog named "Pilot". He stole the show! Remember Charlie Chaplin playing the chicken in "The Gold Rush"? Think of an animal and how it moves and behaves and then try to act like the animal! (You might want to do this by yourself unless you aren't going to be embarrassed!) This is physical and creative.
I hope you're enjoying thinking about a pitch for your movie. Remember, the movie is supposed to be based in the time of the pandemic! Did you know (I might have mentioned this before, but I'm not sure) that Shakespeare wrote "King Lear" during a plague lockdown? They used to close all the theatres when there was a plague outbreak, so Shakespeare and his co-workers were all out of work when the plague was raging.
Remember, your pitch is due Friday. Once you're finished your pitch (and get my thumbs up), then you can go on to work on your detailed plotting and then, your storyboard or description.
