День 4 – Сцена́рий · filming script
🎬 День 4 «Кот в су́мке!» – сцена́рий · filming script for Natasha (print this page) · lesson: Russian 1/Day 4 · 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 real jacket (with a zip). The glass of juice, the cake, the bag, the window, the sack and both cats are animated behind you.
- ⏱ Story video ≈ 2 minutes. The word sounds (mp3) are cut from these clips later – say each word clearly.

3. Short clip: Звук дня У (15 s)
Round lips like an owl: «у-у-у!» – «у́-у-тро» (not you-tro) – «су́-у-мка, ку́-у-ртка» – «р-р-ру-ка́».
4. Gesture game (optional clip, 30 s)
у́тро – су́мка – стака́н – окно́ – ку́ртка – рука́ – нос (sniff!) – он – она́ – оно́, faster and faster. Then the pair: нос (sniff) – крем (touch the tip of your nose).
