Put an old cassette tape into an operative boom box. Press play at the start of a song and sit at your desk until the song plays to the end. It is permissible to drink a beer. But the film should end when the song is finished, even if the beer is not.

Place the camera in the door of the bathroom. Film your morning ritual: shower, brushing teeth, putting on your face. The film ends when you are finished and ready to go to another part of the house.

Film the retrieval of an Italian periodical located in Pusey 3 at Widener Library, Harvard University. Your cameraman should follow you very closely from behind as you: ascend the steps to the main entrance, pass through security and circulation, take the elevator to the level that gives you access to the underground passage to Pusey library, walk through the tunnel, enter Pusey and go past the stacks to the second elevator, take it down to the lowest level, walk to the corner furthest from the entrance, expand the collapsable stacks, and find the correct volume. Walk very quickly, almost run. You may wish to turn and look back at the camera to signal that it should keep up.
