День 5 – Сцена́рий · filming script
🎬 День 5 «Кот на столе́?! Нет!» – сцена́рий · filming script for Natasha (print this page) · lesson: Russian 1/Day 5 · 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 lemon (or any fruit) – the rest is animated behind you: the table, the chair, the bowl, the fork, the plum, a bag, a door and both cats. For the hand game: only your hands.
- ⏱ Story video ≈ 2 minutes. The word sounds (mp3) are cut from these clips later – say each word clearly.

| Кот в су́мке! – «Мя́у!» | the hand jumps out of the bag («Мя́у!» = Scuffles, recorded by Natalia) |
4. Short clip: Звук дня Л (15 s)
Hard Л: «сто-л-л, сту-л-л, ви́-л-ка» (tongue low). Soft Л: «ли-мо́н, сли́-ва, Сли́-нки» (smile). Pairs: «стол – ли, стул – ли».
