i love to tell the story for some have never heard [Video]

[verylittlesugar]

My name is Mattie Ross. I have discovered that there are quite a number of children here, and many do not seem to have parents or families to see to their proper education. So beginning this week, I am inviting any children who would like to join me to attend religious service on Sunday - Seventh Day - morning before the regular service, and on Third Day evening as well. We will meet in the Oxygen Gardens, and Third Day meeting will be followed by lessons in reading, arithmetic, and common skills. I will teach hymns and psalms to anyone who wishes to learn.

I think we shall tell stories as well.

Please bring books if you have them.

Bran Stark, I hope you will come as we discussed and share your hymns and stories as well.


[OOC: Children's Chapel is open to all the under 18 crowd. Feel free to handwave attending, and if you want an actual log at any time, give me a shout and I'll happily put one up.]

Hope you don't mind me cutting in here, but I think my definition of a movie should suffice and be far more coherent than any that Jake will provide.
A movie is basically a story depicted in video that's usually at least an hour long, though some are known for going on much longer than that.
There are different kinds of movies, just like there are different kinds of stories and variations thereof based on the storyteller.
Some are a biased presentation of facts while others are completely fabricated. That pretty much sums them up.
Needless to say, they've really got nothing to do with church services or whatever.

Gonna have to say no, Jake.
Only because you're the one being inconsiderate here.
I mean, they're trying to set up religious and educational services, and all you're trying to do is get people to join your movie night.
Which, by the way, I notice you haven't invited me to.
What is up with that?

Your language is deplorable, and you should come to the very next service we have and learn proper behavior and manners.

So if I told a very long story to someone through my communicating device, that would be called a movie?

If it is a biblical story or a morality lesson, I suppose it would be all right. But I do not see why it should need to be told over the video when we are all there together.

[mostsuitable]

Well, not exactly.
Movies don't really tell stories through narration.
They're more likely to use visuals like artwork or graphics, or performing artists who act out various scenes.
Something like that, anyway.
And there's a huge variety of movies done in many different ways, so they don't always fit comfortably in my earlier descriptions.
Also, I guess you can think of movies as video that's already been recorded.
For example, you could technically have made a movie by using the communication device to video record an entire play.
So you could gather together a whole group or audience to watch the movie instead of having people perform the play over again.
Definitely has its pros and cons, you know.

[verylittlesugar]

You should have said it was like a play in the first place.

Can we perform a play here, and show it to other folk with our devices?

[mostsuitable]

I guess I should've, but they aren't all like that.
As long as I came up with a coherent description for you, which is more than Jake could come up with, I'm sure.
He's been a little off lately, so he might say or do things that he normally wouldn't.
Anyway. Yeah, I don't see why we shouldn't just have our own play here and stream it over the network for everyone else.
And maybe keep a video or movie recording of it for posterity or whatever.
It's a good idea, I think.

[verylittlesugar]

I think it a fine idea, and it will give us a way to keep the children who are not so good with ordinary lessons interested and attentive.

[ Lessons are just an excuse, Mattie thinks the entire idea of staging a play to be brilliant. Better than the usual entertainment of drinking and fighting that the adults seem to prefer. ]

[mostsuitable]

Yeah, I guess that sounds pretty cool.
Maybe you could spearhead something like that in the future since you just got these services up and going like every week from now on, I think?
So the whole thing with the plays and recording them into movies could be an up and coming project.
