Me and Rubi planned a student film about a teenage breakup between characters Harley and Hibba at their school. They discussed key elements like using the school staircase and corridors as the location to suggest the characters are students. They would wear normal casual clothes and use natural lighting and colors. Camera techniques like shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule, and match on action would be used to convey the characters' feelings and facilitate their conversation. The film would show Harley meeting Hibba because she wants to end their relationship, but he returns the gift he gave her and leaves upset after they talk. Facial expressions and angles would reveal the characters' emotions during the difficult discussion.
Según define wikipedia, oratoria es el “Arte de hablar en público con elocuencia, con la finalidad de persuadir o conmover al auditorio”. Si esta definición es cierta, de todas las personas que exponen, educan, venden, disertan o realizan presentaciones, ¿cuántas hacen oratoria?
