"Knock Three Times" scene ideas? Help? en>fr fr>en

have to create a scene, any scene at all. It must include
An entrance
An exit
Three Knocks
Twirling in a circle three times
Jumping in the air
Crawling on all 4s
Laying flat on the ground
Moving in slow motion
Moving very fast
And saying one and only one word. The word is Hello.

Any ideas?I can have props, costumes, music, anything i want. But there can't be anyone else in the scene, and there can't be imaginary people either. No imaginary dialogue with someone who isn't there.
Any ideas? The only thing i've come up with is like a spy type thing or something.

A very nervous girl/guy bringing flowers (or maybe proposing marriage?) to their crush's door. For example crawling, jumping - sneaking up to the door without being seen. Twirling - being indecisive, turning around and turning back. Ending the scene with knocking on the door and saying hello.

You could be sneaking into someone's house/room to look for something? Knock on the door, open it, call out hello to see if anyone's home, move slow motion to like "creep around", turn around a couple of times to check, crawl around to look under furniture, jump to look over furniture, flat on the ground to check under a closed door, etc.

Cassielovesyou -

Well, in case you didn't know it before, I'm a Drama Queen! Therefore, I can only concoct a scene filled with overwrought emotion.

I would have the person knocking at the door being Death. Maybe you could play a Victorian spinster, someone that's lived their life alone. The first knock, you call out tentatively to try to ascertain who's there - the silence tells you what it is really out there.

You begin to understand that Death has come for you and you relive your life and missed opportunities for happiness - maybe playing out the emotion of a lost love. You begin to understand the short time you have left and begin to become more lost in the past and overwhelming emotion - hence the crawling on the ground, etc.

The third knock is the final knock. It's then Death has you in its clutches and you lay flat on the ground, maybe with a picture of your lost love? Or a dried corsage? Or a wedding dress you hoped to wear?
