We were assigned a short production in my high school English class, about 20-25 minutes. The setting is Upper East Side Manhattan, think Gossip Girl. The predicament is we don't know how to set up our bland classroom into the inside of a posh NYC apartment. Does anyone have good ideas for how to design this scenario, what props to use, how to make a backdrop? It's a modern take on Shakespeare's 12th Night.


Answer
when i think NYC and Gossip Girl, I'd say:

- get a curtain that'll fit into the window frame on a curtain rod or just duct tape it up, with a fancy print on it. if u have to buy one, u could always return it.

- little side table or stool with modern vase with flowers (for example, tall clear rectangle vase, a few calla lilies) and some fashion magazines (if u dont have any, borrow some from the library)

- fashionable rug thats 5' x 3' or something. (also returnable, just make sure u keep it clean)

- nice-looking armchair or small loveseat, even a fancy bench. if u only have a plain one of these, drape a patterned sheet or think blanket over it.

- for a backdrop, if u teacher has a Smartboard, put up a pic of an aerial view of NYC skyscrapers. if not, use a projector to project such image onto the whiteboard.

-for a nice touch, get some typical NYC background sound playing (whether off a laptop or ipod w/ speakers). you know, car horns honking, bus sounds, car alarms going off, brakes. if ur not all that computer savvy, record some sounds off your computer thats playing youtube videos with those sounds with a camera (that can record sound, obviously) or just sit in a bus stop and record street noises.

Having Galaxy smartphone camera connect wirelessly to my classroom projector?

Hello,

I went to a workshop and the presenter used her Iphone camera and pointed towards my answers on my desk. Her phone's camera was "video recording" my sheet, but the phone was somehow connected to her laptop, and the lap top in turn connected to the projector.
Is there any way to make this happen with a galaxy phone?

Thanks!
