A Day at the Movies

FADE IN:

EXT. CAMPUS GLØSHAUGEN, SATURDAY MORNING.

A crisp, clear autumn day in Trondheim: A shivering group of STUDENTS dressed in winter clothing are fiddling with sophisticated camera equipment.

They are part of ISFiT’s FILM GROUP, and today is a big day for them—they’re shooting a brand new PROMO FILM. For that to happen, however, they need EXTRAS, and while we wait for them to show up, the BLOGGER and a few others are sent to the office to make some POSTERS.

If there should be any doubt as to whether the guys in the film group are well prepared, the following evidence is presented:

The posters came out really nice, by the way.

After about an hour, a small army of volunteers from the WORKSHOP GROUP arrive on the scene. They’re here to play the parts of ANGRY MOB and ANNOYING JOURNALISTS. They receive instructions from the CREW, and the shooting starts.

ANGRY MOB

(shouting)

We want peace! No more war!

Suddenly, two ARMY HUNKS appear out of nowhere. They line up on the stairs outside the main building, looking very… army-like.   

A huge LIMOUSINE comes rolling around the corner. A MAN steps out of it and is immediately surrounded by grim-looking SECURITY GUARDS.

SINDRE (director)

Cut!

The entire production seems so professional that everyone involved appears to have forgotten for a moment that they are not at a real set. That is, until the extras start freezing and remember that there is no heated room available with a comfy couch to relax on. They settle for the next best thing.

The atmosphere is exceptionally good inside the DISCO LIMOUSINE. The extras are enjoying looking through the windows at the poor souls still having to work outside in the cold.

Unfortunately it all comes to an end the moment a CAMERA OPERATOR pops his head inside to announce that they have to start shooting the next scene.

EXTRAS

Sob.

After four cold hours, the movie group is satisfied with the day’s efforts. And if you’re wondering what on earth an angry mob, journalists, army hunks, security guards, and a beast of a limousine have to do with each other, you'll have no choice but to pay close attention to isfit.org in the coming weeks.

THE END.
