This is a group activity that lets your class or cast explore creativity and group dynamic. They should all work together to form a strong still photograph.
The name of the game:
FREEZE FRAME
Before You Start
Group forms a very large circle and sits down.
One person is chosen to stand, enter the circle and hit a still pose.
A director or teacher should call on people slowly to add into the picture to ensure everyone’s choice is seen.
How to Play
A person is chosen to enter the circle and hit a creative pose and freeze. The rest of the circle studies the pose as if it is a picture caught in time. “What might be going on?” “Where might they be?”
Students raise their hand and are called on one-at-a-time to add into the frozen picture. The first person to add in has a lot to do with the direction the photo takes. If they think the initial pose appears to be a soccer match and join in as a goalie, then everyone should adapt their ideas and go with the flow.
The exercise ends when every single member of the class or cast has added into the “Freeze Frame” and forms a frozen group picture.
For added fun, you can take an addition five pictures saying, “click, click, click, click click” and watch the picture slightly change.
Everyone resets to sitting in the circle and you ask for a new volunteer to stand and begin with a pose in the middle.
