Hello again and welcome to the second improv class on hubski. Today we're going to be doing another game which is a bit like innuendo, but we're going to have more players per suggestion.
The game is "Movie Producers" and is a (heavily) modified version of a game lil and I had a conversation about.
Ready to play? Here are the rules:
Suggestion: A made up movie title. The best movie titles are the ones which can help the viewers relate to the movie. I won't go into detail here because I don't want to sway people from coming up with their own. The only rule is, if it is a real movie title, but pretty much not well known, it's fair game.
Players: There will be 3 players to a thread (If three people have already replied, please refrain from replying!) You are going to play the part of the movie producer. You just got this great title from some hotshot script writer, but no script! 3 of you will create Act 1, Act 2 and Act 3 of the movie!
Feel free to be as terse or verbose as you'd like, but if someone posts before you, you've missed your opportunity!
Okay these usually go best with an example:
Suggestion: The Green Green Grass
Player 1:
ACT ONE:
Open on a large field, we see rolling hills and a bright sun coming up kissing the morning dew.
Player 2:
ACT TWO:
Suddenly, a long haired hippy walks over the hill carrying a large bong. The bong is large the hippy must drag it across the field. Suddenly the land owner appears and begins to chase the hippy with large pitchfork.
Player 3:
ACT THREE (Final Act):
The land owner finally catches the hippy. After the land owner and the hippy fight for a full scene. They notice something peculiar, both are wearing a pin above their left lapel. Surprisingly, they find that they are both part of the same cult, and that their fight was actually justification for them to be executed. Realizing this, they begin to run away together, back into "The Green Green Grass".
What will we learn?
One great thing about this exercise is that it helps develop an ENDING. If you've ever watched Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, SCTV, Kids In the Hall or the numerous other sketch shows, you'll notice that the strongest sketches usually have the strongest endings. Endings are HARD to come up with. Really hard. Doing this exercise can help develop that collaboratively.
With that, please refrain from discussing in this thread (its more fun if it's not derailed) and use the discussion thread instead which is here: https://hubski.com/pub?id=164737
