Setting: Backyard Kick Back/Dinner Party

Sound effects: Outside bug/chirping atmosphere, music playing in background, fire crackling, distant talking, glasses toasting, forks/knives/plates scraping, lawn mower, phones going off, and chairs moving, and eating noises, rain (bring it inside).

Friends hanging on a summer day at Rachael’s because they just moved into the neighborhood Henry and Victoria come over to join meet her. They moved from England to Malibu, Cali.

Scene 1: Opens with Victoria and Henry coming to Rachael’s house.

(Knock on door)

Victoria: Oh, I do hope she likes us.

Henry: Don’t be ridiculous, I’m sure she will. What’s not to like?

Victoria: I don’t know, you know how nervous I –

(Door Opens)

Rachael: Hello! Come in Come in, it’s so great to finally have you two over! My other friend Kayla should be over any minute.

Victoria: Sounds great, I can’t wait to meet her as well… You have a beautiful home.

Henry: Yes indeed. We brought a bottle of our favorite red wine, I hope you like it.

Rachael: Oh I love red wine, Merlot is my favorite so this is perfect, thank you so much. Please follow me in my backyard I have a fire going. I’ll be right back to go get some glasses for the wine.

Victoria: She seems really nice! I hope she likes us, we really need to meet people now that were in America.

Henry: I’m sure she will, don’t think too much about it as you always do.

Rachael: okay I’m back with the glasses! Let’s get this party started! .... So tell me about you guys! Where are you from in England? Where did you meet? yaddi yadda yadda!

Victoria: Well we met at a convention in Paris and I’m originally from Liverpool but he is from Amsterdam, you know the weed capital of the world.

Rachael: Oh wow you guys are soooo lucky! I’ve always wanted to go, especially to Amsterdam. The U.S is finally starting to legalize marijuana, it’s about time.

Victoria: Yeah, Amsterdam is a great place, very relaxing, and down to earth hahaha! I definitely recommend going one day.

Henry: You definitely should go, you know that’s the reason why we moved here? We just opened our own dispensary in town! Right next to that Pub.

Rachael: Oh my goodness really? I was going to ask you both if you wanted to join me later but I wasn’t sure what you both would say! Now I know I have the go ahead!

Victoria: ahaha! Yes we are both 420 friendly, we even brought some of our own! How funny is that?

(Knock on the door, Clair comes in, Rachael’s friend)

Clair: Hey guys how’s it going?!

Racheal: We’re just hanging out outside before it gets too cold come join us.

(Music intro)

The 4 of them are going to speak some more outside, the lawnmower from the neighbor will start and they will get annoyed and want to go back inside but they will wait, as they wait they will continue to talk about the weed dispensary, what Clair does, what Rachael does and then it will start to rain. At this point they will go inside because the fire is out and they don’t want to get wet.

(music intro into the house)??

STMP No5

For the Long Term Media Project, all of the class were assigned to group to contribute in the creation of a radio show.  My group, consists of four people: Hannah, Jessica, Marcela, Sam, and I. In class on Monday, Jessica, Marcela, Sam, and I developed part of our project. Initially we wanted the project to have a Halloween theme which we stuck with, however our decision to have the radio show a horror show, we instead decided to go with a comedy type of show.  

(some kind of intro music)

(sound of things being put away and bags zipping)

Prof: Alrighty class that’ll about do it. Have a fun-filled Halloween and I’ll see everyone next week.

(sound of people leaving)

P: Except you three.

(sound of door shutting)

Student 1: Wait what?

Student 2: Yeah I’m hungry what is this?

(sound of light switch being turned off)

P: Like I said it’s Halloween soon, and I can feel the spirits in the room...they have something to say to you.

Student 3: That stuff isn’t real.

P: What!? Don’t say such a thing. Come my children, sit.

sound of chairs being pulled out and sitting down

P: I have a ouija board, and I will prove to you all there are spirits among us...and they are not pleased.

(ominous music)

(faint sound of whispering spirits)

1: Wait did you guys here that?

3: That was nothing just something outside probably.

P: You say that now...muahahaha.

2: Okay this is getting pretty creepy.

(more whispering and ominous music)

P: Now everybody put their hands in the middle, and let us--

(sound of door opening)

Student 4: Sorry--(interject some kind of sound, like a record scratching)um what the--uhh I just wanted to see if I left my phone charging here.

P: Ugh get out you’re letting the light in!

(whoosh sound of spirit pushing student out and slamming door)

1: Okay what the hell was that!?

3: That couldn’t have been real…

2: I just wanna go eat something. I want my mom.

P: NOW! Students, pay attention. We are about to reach the otherside. Hands together.

P: Spirits! This is a safe place. Do you have a message for someone here?

1: I don’t think I can be here anymore.

(sound of planchette [thing that moves on ouija board] moving)

3: Q-U-I-E-T

2: What!?

1: Is it telling me to shut up or something!!

P: Do not interrupt the spirits my children.

1: I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry, but I’m just freaking out.

(sound of feverish nail-biting or teeth chattering)

3: It’ okay we’re gonna get through this.

(sound of petting someone on the back)
