A Mad Hatter's Selfie

Scene:

For this scene the production will take place outdoors while sitting under a tree in Brandywine Apartments, in Guilderland, NY.  My clothing will be casual and appropriate for the weather, which is sunny and 82 degrees outside.  My hair will be down yet pushed back with a headband.  No makeup or any other applications in order to “polish” the video.  I chose a shady area with sunlight streaming in the background, so as not to cause glare upon the video feed. 

Script:

Self-introduction with all speech by me:

“Hi my name is Shannon Mulstay and this is my intro to Digital Storytelling.  I am 43 years old and live in Guilderland, NY.  I was raised in the New York State Foster Care System and I am an Epileptic.”

“I have two beautiful young ladies as daughters.  One who is 23 and attends SUNY Cobleskill with a major in Applied Psychology.  This is her senior year and she also works for ARC group homes in Schenectady.”

“My other daughter is 17 years old and attends Duanesburg Jr. /Sr. High School, and is a senior also this year.  She is looking to attend either Boston University or hopefully SUNY Stonybrook with a look at their Anthropology programs. “

“I love to garden and take walks.  I am also extremely addicted to Starbucks.  So almost every morning I walk over to Starbucks, over in Hamilton Square Plaza, in order to get either a Chai Latte or an Ice Tea depending upon the weather.  I absolutely love to read and write.  I have a ton of books.  My entire is just filled, filled with books.  My daughters constantly tell me I need more bookshelves.”

“I am looking forward to learning how to write scripts and scenes and this should be a really interesting class.  Thank you and I look forward to talking to you more.”
