День 2 – Сцена́рий · filming script
🎬 День 2 «Кто там? Кот!» – сцена́рий · filming script for Natasha (print this page) · lesson: Russian 1/Day 2 · 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: Slinky.svg printed big (A4), a cup of cocoa, a sheet of paper, a ball of wool. No toy cat – the cats are animated in the edit.
- ⏱ Story video ≈ 2 minutes. The word sounds (mp3) are cut from these clips later – say each word clearly.

3. Short clip: Звук дня (15 s)
A sheet of paper in front of your mouth. English «cat» – the paper moves. «Кот» – the paper stays still. Then: «кот, кто, так, там, как, тома́т».
4. Gesture game (optional clip, 30 s)
The 12 gestures with their words, faster and faster: кто – кот (stroke a cat) – ма́ма – тут – там – как – так – кака́о – тома́т – э́то – да – нет.
