Okay, a monologue is someone talking… But what does that have to do with Media Arts?<\/p>\n

In this project, I am going to ask you to find, write, a 2-3 minute monologue and find an actor to perform it (I have already asked the drama teacher to talk to their students).\u00a0 It could be a speech, a poem, a short piece of writing from a book- whatever. I am going to ask you to think about it, get to know it, really ponder it.\u00a0 Then figure out how to use anything and everything film-related to enhance the words: Different camera angles, lighting, sound effects, voice-over, and soundtrack.<\/p>\n

You can be your own actor or get a friend act.<\/p>\n
