| What is an Improvifilm? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| An improvifilm begins with a location-- an interesting place found in an available environment where people can perform. Next comes the actors, two (or more) people to improvise with each other chosen on the basis of availability and talent. The actors are instructed how to dress by the person guiding the project (The Guide), but are not told where they are going. The Guide may have the location preset with any items he/she chooses, and the actors are encouraged to bring one prop with the approval of the Guide. The Guide takes the actors to the location, and may, if he/she chooses, tell the actors where to begin the scene. The filming begins and the scene starts. The actors create the scene and the story while the Guide films. When the scene is over, the filming stops as does the acting. From there, the two groups may decide to continue with any number of brainstormed scenes indefinately until the film is over. The actors may not, however, brainstorm before the first scene. The Guide can influence only the camerawork and the brainstormings between scenes after the first, and also makes the final decision of the improvifilm's finish. |
