Using the program "Photobooth", create 3 pictures of yourself in different moods (with different effects to symbolize each mood). You may wish to use the locations from the effects menu. If you need a new setting, use Google IMAGES, pick a place like Paris or London or Rome or Streetcorner or Farm, etc. and quickly choose a picture background by dragging the picture to your desktop, then dragging it onto the "drag background here" spaces.
Then, write a monologue in which you fictionalize yourself. Allow your character to move through the feelings, or express the three moods you created. You have 20 minutes for this exercise.
This blog is designed for Rochester City School students at the School of the Arts in support of their classes: Playwriting & Film Studies.
