[Beauty’s relative Truth]

Taste the icy sting of one or two stares for you from somewhere otherly dim

Where sensuous dreams drift tranced within the Lethen’d grin of the Faerie Queene

There, learn to sway within the hectic wind winked and kissed by Beauty’s relative Truth

I did taste the icy sting of poison’d stares from somewhere anotherly ken when a sensuous dream tranquilized There alone was I entangled by sweet jasmine and the Lethen’d grin of the Faerie Queene And there schooled to fly above a zephyr's whisper alone was I Alone was I Beauty’s relative Truth

So we're doing some drama editing today. I'm not sure who's footage it is, I'm not even sure who the actors are. All I received was the footage and was told to cut it together to create a dramatic narrative. And...?

And I had fun. I had so much fun, which I wasn't expecting. I was editing on action, which I didn't know to do- I just took my time and with a hawk eye attempted to spot any inconsistencies.

Applying what I learn, oh yeah!

I wish I had more control over the audio on the other hand. Video to come...

The central character - or protagonist - is the hapless worker, whose PROBLEM (or, as is usually the case in comedy, whose opportunity) appears in the guise of a frog that has been sealed up in a time capsule for 100 years. But this is not just any frog. This frog sings.

The worker quickly sees the frog as his stepping stone to fame and fortune (his GOALS) and sets about to achieve those goals through PLAN of action that commences with his leaving his job and stealing the frog.

What follows are a series of actions in which the worker tries plan after plan in the face of ever increasing stakes. In the process his goals are altered drastically, culminating in his final objective, to get rid of the frog.

Have a look at the 8-minute film and see if you can track the logic of the narrative.
