As you make your very clumsy way into the set, you struggle to rid your mind of that shirtless Dave.
God damnit, mind!! This isn't the time!
In fact, you find yourself so caught up in your thoughts, which are slowly getting more explicit, that you ram straight into the director.
"A-Ack!! Sorry!" You blush with embarrassment. This is the second time today you've made a fool of yourself in front of a co-worker, and you mentally kick yourself.
However, to your surprise, he only smiles kindly.
"No problem! First day jitters, eh?"
You nod quickly, not wanting to make the seemingly kind man angry. You've always been crap with first impressions, and are hastily trying to make up for yourself.
"Now, we're running this film almost scriptless," The director begins to explain. "But, I will be giving you a quick briefing. I've already had time to explain to Mr. Strider, and the rest of the cast. In this first scene, you are a young girl, around 19, dancing at a club. You run into Mr. Strider's character, and you end up dancing together. Simple enough?" You nod again.
"I think I'll be able to do that, yeah!"
"That's Good then. I'll let you know when we're going to start shooting."
With that, the director wanders off, and starts to talk to what you assume to be a camera man. You cast your gaze around the set. Other background actors are already here, all dressed for the occasion. The set looks exactly like a nightclub, with a large dance floor, seating space, a bar, and finally, a large booth for the Dj. You are snapped quickly out of your admiration by a tap to the shoulder. You turn around to see who else, but Dave. You smile. He's wearing a fairly tight-fitted suit, along with a red tie and his signature sunglasses. Rumour has it that no one has ever seen his eyes, and you for one certainly haven't. You're about to say hi, but are interrupted by the director.
"COME ON, PEOPLE! SHOOTING STARTING NOW! (Y/N), GET INTO THR DANCE FLOOR!" You squeak with shock, causing Dave to chuckle quietly. You scramble onto the Dance floor, positioning yourself in a crowd of people.
"3....2....1.... ACTION!" Yells a sound man, lowering the microphone just out of shot over your head. Just as a small red light begins to blink on the side of the camera, music fills the set. The actors around you start to dance, and with realisation, you quickly join them. The camera circles around you, and you start to get nervous. You shake it off quickly though, and go back to dancing. After a couple of seconds of this, you start to move around a little more of the set, guided by frenzied hand motions from the director. With his mouthed instruction, you pick up a glass filled with some sort of liquid, and lean against the bar.
"Hey there. What's a pretty girl like you doing on her own?"
You turn your head to see Dave. You take one deep breath.
Ok, (Y/N), keep your cool. You're acting, he's acting, go along with it!
"Well, what's a handsome man like you doing,on his own?" You reply. He smirks.
"Well, maybe we could keep each other company, hmm?" You nod.
"Maybe we could." Dave walks towards the dance floor, turns around, and motions for you to follow. You place down your drink, and walk to the already dancing Dave, and join him in that. After a couple of seconds, the director yells, "CUT!" loudly. You feel surprised.
"After only one cut??"
The director nods.
"It was really good, actually, for a first scene. Now," He addresses everyone, "LUNCH BREAK!" You begin to leave with everyone else, to get yourself to your one true love, food, when Dave stops you.
"Hey, good job out there. I'll see you at the next scene, i guess." Before you can reply, he's disappeared into the crowd. You smile.
Damn, I love this Job!
