День 1 – Сцена́рий · filming script
🎬 День 1 «Приве́т!» – сцена́рий · filming script for Natasha (print this page) · lesson: Russian 1/Day 1 · all scripts: index
✅ Before you film (from test 1, 3 Nov 2026)
- 📱 Phone sideways, on a tripod or a pile of books – it must not move. Richard sets it.
- 📏 Phone at the height of your chest. The bottom quarter of the picture is floor – the cats need room. Stand a little to the left; the right side stays free for the cats and the things Claude adds.
- 💡 Light on your face, never a window behind you. Same clothes for every clip of this day.
- ⏸ Look at the camera → say the line → the action on the loud syllable → 2 seconds pause. At the very end: stand still 2 seconds and smile (Claude cuts there).
- 🎒 Props: a cup, nothing else – all the other things are mimed (the gesture is the prop). A sofa or a chair for the start.
- ⏱ Story video ≈ 2 minutes. The word sounds (mp3) are cut from these clips later – say each word clearly.
