Scene Breakdown Suggestion

40 Year Old Virgin

Script Link 

I would like to suggest the Poker Scene from the film '40 Year Old Virgin' for our class' reenactment lesson for several reasons. The first in which being that it is comedic which makes it more enjoyable to perform as well due to it's amusing nature. It's also a widely popular film which I believe many people my age would have watched and already know so will able to to deliver the lines and perform the scene similar to it's original.

When performed I think that our class should put a twist on the scene and deliver the lines exactly as stated but change the premise of the scene from a Poker Table to something more relatable to people our age, like talking together at lunch for example for after the teacher has left the classroom as it shows that we are able to take an example and form it into a more relevant situation to show our understanding of the film.

I also think that when we shoot that we should place the camera at an angle that makes it look as if it is the metaphorical 'fifth person' on the poker/lunch/classroom table and then use four separate other cameras to do portrait shots of the four actors as they say they lines
