Directorial sketch ideas

[jivefish.livejournal.com]

Hello all, I'm Sam & I have a inquiry I'd like to share with you all. Firstly, I'm a film major & for a production class I'm taking, we have a directorial sketch that each student has to do. We have to be able to shoot our idea during our 4 hour class and only in and around the campus where my class is held. Now, I have a general idea for my sketch, and since we're able to use a short scene transcribed from a film (although I should ask if TV shows are suitable - I can ask tomorrow), I was wondering if you all could help me.

My idea was to write something very Jeeves & Wooster-esque. Alas, I am not gifted with Wodehouse's style of writing so I decided that, perhaps, I'll transcribe a scene from an episode. My predicament, however, is which scene to transcribe. So now I pass on over to you, members of indeedsir, what scene do you think would be a good scene to transcribe? I'd prefer a scene with just Bertie & Jeeves, just so it's easier to shoot & I could have more people on my crew (since I'd most likely use group members for the cast). Something I can easily adapt to shoot around the campus. Any thoughts? & thanks. =]

*psst, mods, feel free to delete if this isn't allowed & whatnot. & I'm not quite sure what to tag this as so...

Indeed, that's what I was thinking. I have a copy of 'Very Good, Jeeves' & I thought that might be easier, although I feel like it actually might be easier to use a transcription of a scene from the series - but I still need to ask my professor, I didn't go to my class on Monday, oh dear.

I was also thinking that if I can't do that, my scene would probably be my predicament right now - that way, I can use lines from Wodehouse's stories (as a reference, or just as quotes) without trying to write like Wodehouse. Does that make sense? I'll still probably have a Bertie & a Jeeves like characters. I think that would work just as well, right?
