Ideas for Class Film

* First scene should be a traffic scene by maybe Gramercy park or some really quiet street by our school (maybe in black and white)

* Andy's character as the teacher could by the classic kind of teacher portrayed in most of the movies, he could be trying to "save the poor brown people"

* We could have role reversals in the class, race could portray common stereotypes of another race

* The students could be calm and normal and the teacher could over-react and try to save them from not doing anything harmful

* Jenise can be our quiet character that sits in the back and gets up and says some profound comment

* We could do scenes with Andy by himself to show the movie is mainly about him but maybe a couple of scenes focusing on how the students and how they feel about his way of teaching

* Maybe Copeland can rush in at one point (when everything is quiet in class) and ask if everything is alright and if Andy needs any help handling his class

* We can have a scene where Andy gets in trouble with Fanning

* We should set up our classroom so all the chairs are facing the white board and Andy could try to teach us really remedial work like we don't understand it and we could answer him with really complex answers and treat him like he doesn't understand

* Andy could do something telling us we are going to die horrible deaths

My first thoughts on school, when I think all the way back to the beginning, is that school, used to be good. School used to be enjoyable. we were able to choose whatwe wanted to do, when we wanted to do it. the things we did were more engaging. I remember feeling happy when I woke up in the morning for school instead of feeling dread and a sense of panic. when i wake up in the morning during the week day, my first thoughts are about what class I have first and when I can do the homework for that class.
