Consider the following scenes. Three take place in the Pickled Onion, a local bar that used to offer DJ dancing most nights. In the first scene, a young man stands on the dance floor, his mind on our New England Patriots, or what he had for dinner, or even if his car will need a fill of gasoline. A beautiful woman approaches him, and as she arrives, she turns her back towards him, grabs his arms and pulls them around her. As she snuggles into his chest, her face displays a total contentment, a joy of love, a moment of total satisfaction. The man is but a passive participant. He is captured by her. If he had plans to do something else, or even talk to another woman, they are gone. He is totally ensnared.
Second scene, a man and a woman face each other. It is quickly clear that he has done something inconsiderate, perhaps even disloyal. The woman alternates between scolding him in a loud voice and holding him at arm’s length with both arms. Then, in a moment, she pulls him back, embraces him, buries her head on his shoulder, talks to him in a gentle tone. Then, in another moment she reignites her anger, pushes him back to arm’s length, and resumes the scold. This goes on for several cycles. The man is trapped, enveloped, powerless, and the woman has the entire situation under control.
Third scene, this time at the bar. I am sitting next to an attractive younger woman. I don’t drink alcohol, and she might have had a glass of wine. We had never met. I made an interesting suggestion,” Would you like a nice backrub?” She never looked at me. She leaned forward, placed her head on her arms, and lay quite still. I had no choice but to give a one-handed backrub. After what seemed like a half hour, she picked her head up, and with a wry smile, but no words, left to go elsewhere. I was delighted, and the men near me were astonished. The woman had expected to be worshipped and cherished and got exactly what she wanted.
Fourth scene takes places outdoors, years ago when my younger son was an infant. A fellow club member, Sally, was a lovely, attractive career woman. Her romantic interest was also career oriented and lived in another city. I was carrying my son, and asked Sally if she wanted to hold him for a while. After a few minutes, I could sense a change in the vibe, a tipping point of feelings and emotions. After a few minutes I took my son back and we left Sally to her activities. A month later, it was obvious what had happened. Sally mentioned that she had ditched her boyfriend, found a new one who was eager for a family, and told me a ring was expected within a month. Such is the powerful urge to have a baby when the time is right.
Please embrace these scenes as the guiding principle for my projects. Relationships are all important. Women can be smart and get what they want from a relationship. The best outcomes come to those who go get them. Always insist on respect, and always expect to be worshipped and cherished. Our two projects are called, “Wanting Marriage” and, ”Wanting a baby.”
A movie scene where romance and style can be observed…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S39paDGZ0Ew “I’m the money” from Casino Royale. As one reviewer put it…But of all the Bond Girls that have graced the screen over the years, there's never been done more stunning or complex than Vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale." Played by Eva Green. she puts incredible subtlety into every line she gets, rewarding repeat viewings by allowing the audience to go back and see the double meanings behind everything Vesper says and does…. in this scene we get some of the best dialogue in the history of the franchise. Vesper immediately establishes herself as Bond's intellectual equal, managing to completely decipher Bond's past and fire off some nice burns along the way.
Another movie with similar power. https://youtu.be/Z0F7YkdLkEQ and https://youtu.be/qb4Rfj1wp0Q but get the movie from your library.
There are two books that you will need to study to succeed in this project. Acting Face to Face 2 by Sudol And the Science of On Camera Acting by Morris. My goal for our projects is to create a series of 15-minute videos for competition, and to help you with your Emotional Alignment. You will need to practice the exercises in Sudol as preparation for your video acting.
Each piece has a ritual, a discussion of a sequence of topics, an interesting news item, an interesting food item, some interesting music, a discussion of some fashion or fabric item, a mention of an artist or museum found on Google Art, and one or two ideas from Why Men Love Bitches, It isn’t You, It’s the Dishes, and The Truth about Cheating. In these pieces, women are sad tragic heroes, and men are children with hearts of evil.
You will shoot the video and record the audio using green screen.
