День 7 – Сцена́рий · filming script
🎬 День 7 «Где Сли́нки? В газе́те!» – сцена́рий · filming script for Natasha (print this page) · lesson: Russian 1/Day 7 · 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: two big newspapers 📰 – one whole, one with a hole in the middle the size of your palm (tear it before filming); a little flag 🚩 (or a pencil); a jar – the rest is animated: the wall with the picture of both cats, the chair and both cats. For the game: only you.
- 📰 Lines 19–21: hold the newspaper with the hole very still for a few seconds – Claude brings the cats through the hole.
- ⏱ Story video ≈ 2½ minutes. The word sounds (mp3) are cut from these clips later – say each word clearly.
1. The story video
No knock-knock, no «в рот». A cat has a ла́па, never a рука́ (Natalia, 1 Nov 2026).
| № | Natasha says | Natasha does (on the LOUD syllable) | Claude adds in the edit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | (Richard's voice, off camera) Где Ната́ша? | sit behind the open whole newspaper – only the paper is seen | Richard records this line on his phone |
| 2 | Вот газе́та, а вот я! | lower the newspaper from your face, peep out on ЗЕ | ГАЗЕ́ТА + Newspaper; Slinky on the chair, Scuffles on the floor |
| 3 | Я под газе́той. | lift the newspaper over your head like a roof | |
| 4 | Вот фо́то. | make a frame with your fingers on ФО | ФО́ТО + Photo; a framed picture of both cats appears on the wall |
| 5 | Сли́нки и Ска́ффлз на фо́то. Фо́то на стене́. | point at the picture | Slinky: «Мя́у!» Scuffles: «Р-р-р…» |
| 6 | Вот голова́. | both hands on your head on ВА | ГОЛОВА́ + Head |
| 7 | Рука́ на голове́. У меня́ рука́. | one hand on your head, then show it | |
| 8 | А у тебя́ ла́па! Ла́па на голове́. | point at Slinky | Slinky puts her paw on her head; ЛА́ПА + Paw |
| 9 | Вот нога́. У меня́ рука́ и нога́. | lift your foot on ГА; show a hand and a foot | НОГА́ + Leg |
| 10 | (listen) | Scuffles lifts her paw: «У меня́ рука́!» | |
| 11 | Нет! У тебя́ ла́па и́ли нога́. Не рука́! | shake your head, a finger shake | Scuffles: «Р-р-р…» |
| 12 | Вот глаз. | point at your eye on ГЛАЗ | ГЛАЗ + Eye |
| 13 | Вот зуб. | tap a front tooth with your fingernail on ЗУБ | ЗУБ + Tooth |
| 14 | У меня́ губа́. | touch your lower lip on БА | ГУБА́ + Lip |
| 15 | А у тебя́… рот! | point at Scuffles, laugh | Scuffles opens her mouth wide |
| 16 | Вот флаг. Флаг в руке́. Старт! | wave the little flag over your head on ФЛАГ | ФЛАГ + Flag |
| 17 | Где газе́та? – На сту́ле! | hand over your eyes, look left and right on ГДЕ; then point | ГДЕ + Where; the newspaper lies on the chair; Slinky runs to it, Scuffles nods |
| 18 | Где фо́то? – На стене́! | the same | Slinky runs to the photo |
| 19 | Где флаг? – В ба́нке! | put the real flag into the real jar | Slinky runs to the jar |
| 20 | (open the newspaper with the hole and read) | hold it very still | Slinky's head comes through the hole |
| 21 | Где Сли́нки? – В газе́те! | point at the hole, laugh | head first, then the legs – all of Slinky climbs through |
| 22 | Ой! Газе́та! | look at the paper, surprised | Scuffles pushes her big head in; the hole tears a little more; the whole fat Scuffles squeezes through |
| 23 | (slowly, with a smile) Где голова́, там и но́ги бу́дут. | hand on your head on «голова́», point at your feet on «но́ги» | only the picture of Scuffles coming through the newspaper (to draw) – no text |
| 24 | Молоде́ц! Пока́! | wave |
2. The cats and the seed (cartoon – voices only)
| Who | Line | Recorded by |

| Сли́нки | В су́мке! | Natalia (Slinky – high, happy) |

| Ска́ффлз | Р-р-р! | Natalia (Scuffles – low, grumpy) |
3. The gesture game «Где рука́? – Вот рука́!» (one take, ~30 s)
Hide it on «Где…?», show it on «Вот…!». One hand for рука́ (both hands = ру́ки, День 9). Twice: slowly, then faster. Claude adds Slinky hiding and showing her paw; Scuffles joins only at the last line.
| Say | Do |
|---|---|
| Где рука́? | hide one hand behind your back |
| Вот рука́! | show it on КА |
| Где нога́? | stand on one leg, the other foot behind you |
| Вот нога́! | put your foot forward on ГА |
| Где нос? | cover your nose with your hand |
| Вот нос! | take the hand away, finger on your nose on НОС |
| Где глаз? | cover one eye |
| Вот глаз! | open it, point at it on ГЛАЗ |
| Где голова́? | duck down, hide your head in your arms |
| Вот голова́! | pop up, both hands on your head on ВА |
| Где кот? | hand over your eyes, look left and right |
| Мя́у! | paws up like a cat 🐾 («Мя́у!» = Scuffles, recorded by Natalia) |
4. Short clip: Звук дня Г, З, Б at the end (15 s)
At the end they sound like К, С, П: «флаг = флак, глаз = глас, газ = гас, зуб = зуп». In the middle they stay: «нога́, газе́та, губа́».
