------------------------------------------------------------------------
On day 4, 1812 and Blue finally get a chance to share what they learned and did the pervious day. Blue was able to get some good story ideas and started working on the script, while 1812 did manage to inform the movie cast what they are doing, which took longer then he expected it to.
**So what are we supposed to do today**
"Well I'd like to start recording soon, and to do that we need to figure out what our first scene is going to be"
**Well since we are doing the life cycle of a DRD I figured we should start at the beginning with a new DRD being created**
"How are we supposed to do that, Moya isn't making any new DRDs at the moment"
**Well we could improvise. One of our actors can just play a new DRD coming online**
"But how are we supposed to represent that?"
**I didn't get that far into writing the script. I've only got the basics. You said you wanted to be the director, so why don't you come up with something**
1812 takes a few microts to contemplate that problem and in notime he comes up with an idea...
"I think I know how to do it!"
**How?**
"I'll tell you on the way down to Moya's lower teirs"
**Why do we have to go there**
"That's where are first scene is going to be. Tell Moya to tell our actors to meet us there"
Everyone soon meets in a little known section of Moya where all the DRDs come from. This is where the first shot of the movie will take place and 1812 and Blue get everyone prepared to start...
"Ok, we are all here to record the first scene of our movie. I'm going to be your director for today"
[Fixer] "What's a..."
"If the next word of that sentence is director I will hurt you!"
[Fixer] "..."
"Thought so. Anyway where was I...Oh yeah, V-W you are going to play the new DRD, what's the DRD's number again?"
**007**
1812 glares at Blue...
**What, it's a cool number**
"You just picked it because you enjoyed that James Bond movie we watched way too much"
**So**
"Anyway, V-W will play DRD '007'. Which mean you go over to the spot I marked with an orange dot."
DRD V-W heads over to where the dot on the floor is...
[V-W] "Ok now what"
"Now you shut down"
[V-W] "Shut down?"
"Yes, is that to hard to understand"
[Sparks] "What do the rest of us do?"
"The rest of you will shut up and stay out of the shot. Any questions?"
[DRDs] "..."
"Good. Now V-W shut down"
[V-W] "Ok"
V-W shuts down...
"Alright Cam I want you to send your video feed to this projector so I can see what you're recording"
[Cam] "Ok"
"Great now focus on V-W..Ok that's good"
[Cam] "Want me to start recording?"
"No this is going to be our pratice shot, so you don't need to record yet"
[Cam] "Alright"
"Now, I want you to slowly zoom in on V-W"
[Cam] "I thought you didn't want me to record?"
"You're not recording you're zooming, so zoom!"
[Cam] "Alright I'm zooming"
"I said slowly"
[Cam] "Sorry"
"Try it again"
[Cam] "K"
"That's better, keep zooming, keep zooming, alright stop. Ok now when I count to three V-W, I want you to come back online. 1..2..3"
V-W remains shut down...
"V-W!"
V-W comes back online...
[V-W] "Sorry were you talking to me?"
"Yes! Maybe you should pay attention!"
[V-W] "Ok. What I'm I supposed to do after I come back online?"
"You're supposed to say...What's he supposed to say?"
**DRD 007 online and standing by for first assignment**
"You got it?"
[V-W] "Yeah, DRD 007 online and standing by for first assignment"
"Alright, let's try this again. That means you have to shut down again and when I count to three you come back online and say your line"
[V-W] "Right"
V-W once again shuts down...
[Cam] "Want me to record this time?"
"Sure why not, let's get this over with. Ready?"
[Cam] "Ready"
"Alright, start filming"
Cam slowly zooms in...
"Ok 1..2..3"
V-W come back online...
[V-W] "DRD 792369 online and standing by for first assignment"
"Cut!"
[Cam] "What?"
"Stop recording!"
[Cam] "Oh"
[V-W] "Did I do something wrong?"
"You said your number instead of 007"
[V-W] "I did?"
[Sparks] "Yeah you did"
[Blitz] "Can I try? I won't mess up"
[V-W] "No it is my part and I'm going to do it!"
[Blitz] "You're just going to screw it up again"
[V-W] "No I'm not"
[Blitz] "I really doubt that"
"SHUT UP!!! Let's try this one more time with V-W, please try and get it right this time"
Blue laughs...
"You think it's funny, well you can be the director tomorrow!"
It took five more takes and 1812 nearly blowing a fuse before the first scene came out correctly. Once done 1812 decides to call it a day for filming and talks to Blue in private...
**We still have a lot of the day left, why'd you want to stop recording?**
"Why? Well because our actors are idiots and I've had it"
**So what are we going to do instead**
"Let's work on our story. Maybe if we force them to read it before they act it they will get their lines right"
**That's fine with me**
1812 and Blue spend the rest of the day writing out the script and deciding what the next scene they are going to film will be.
