Sample dialogue1: Sa: I put actors and actresses first. Because of their performance, the audience can appreciate the film and find out the deep meaning of the film. The audiences absorb in their wonderful performances and are encouraged by the spirits of hero. If a film has no good actors or actress, it wont be loved by audience, nor can it make high box office.Sb: I dont think so. I think the producer is the most important, who has to find money for the coming out of the film. Without them, the best script has to be put aside, saying nothing of films or actors and actresses. You know, there would be no film without money.2: Sa: In my opinion, the director should be put first because their job is to interpret the script, develop the potential of the actors and actresses. If there were no good directors, there would be no good films for people to enjoy. You see, at the ceremony of the Awards, the top actors or actress always appears together with their directors, to whom people are full of thanks and respect.Sb: But I think the cameraman should be put first. Although there are scriptwriters, producers, actors, actresses and directors, people still wouldnt see a film if there was no cameraman. And the more excellent the cameraman is, the more wonderful film we can see.Step II Listening I (P48 Activities1-5)Get the students to do Activities 1-5 on Page 48 to help them talk about their opinions about films.T: Till now, we have talked so much about the film and the Oscar.
