Acting for Film – Be yourself

We’re creating an electronic time capsule – starring you

What is a time capsule?

The idea of a time capsule is to preserve a record of today for people to look at years from now. This is yours – put it on your memory stick and take it home – after we watch them you are going to want to hang onto it….

Intro

(Record the date you film yourself).

You

Include your full name

Self Description  

your weight and height

Your Family 
Our families drive a lot of us crazy.

But still, there are few people as important to us. Write a little about your family. Record:

what your relations look like

things they often say

things they often do

things that annoy you about them

things you love about them

Your Friends 
Spend a little time talking about the people who matter to you. Do you have a significant other? Who are you friends (first and last names)? What do you like about these people? Why are they important to you? Some friends will stay with you forever, but sadly in 10 years time you might not even remember some of these people.

Your Interests

What do you like to do in your free time?

What are your favorite television shows?

What are your favorite movies?

What kind of music do you listen to and on what radio stations?

What hobbies do you have?

Do you exercise?

What are your favorite foods and restaurants?

What are your favorite books?

What are your favorite sports teams?

Record what you like now, so you can see how your tastes change over time.

Your View of the World 


What political party do side with and why?

What problems in the world most worry you?

What are you doing to make the world a better place?

Your Hopes and Dreams

Think a bit about your future and then record some of your goals and aspirations:

What kind of job do you hope to have in the future?

How much money do you hope to be earning?

Do you plan to be married or have children in the future? Is there someone special in your life now that you hope to still have in 10 year’s time?

What do you hope the world will be like in 10 year’s time?

I hope lots of your dreams work out for you.
