A screen test is a method of determining the suitability of an actor or actress for performing on film or in a particular role. The performer is generally given a scene, or selected lines and actions, and instructed to perform in front of a camera to see if they are suitable. The developed film is later evaluated by the relevant production personnel such as the casting director and the director. The actor may be asked to bring a prepared monologue or alternatively, the actor may be given a script to read at sight ("cold reading"). In some cases, the actor may be asked to read a scene, in which another performer reads the lines of another character.
Screen tests can also be used to judge the suitability of costume, make-up and other details, but these are generally called costume or make-up tests. Different types of actors can have different tasks for each individual test. For example, a lead for a musical theater-type movie could be requested to sing a popular song or learn a dance routine. Screen tests are routinely used in films and commercials. They are also used for short films.
Screen Test is a United Kingdom children's quiz show about films, broadcast from 18 November 1970 to 20 December 1984 on BBC1. It was first hosted by Michael Rodd, who was succeeded by Brian Trueman and Mark Curry.
When it was launched on 18 November 1970, Screen Test was one of the earliest children's TV quiz shows in the UK; it was originally intended to be transmitted during Blue Peter's annual break. In 2001, Michael Rodd commented on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows: "We made five programmes originally in black and white, which were going to go into the summer slot that Blue Peter left when they all went on holiday. Then, we made the next five in colour — so we knew we'd really arrived then!"
Viewing figures began to fall in the early 1980s, and the BBC decided that the series had run its course. In 1984 Screen Test was dropped.
Contestants aged around 11 were shown a series of film clips, with each one being followed by a series of questions specifically about the content of the clip. Most episodes included a clip from a film made by the Children's Film Foundation as one of the rounds.
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence (born August 15, 1990) is an American actress. Lawrence began her career in television, playing her first major role as a lead cast member on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show (2007–09). After transitioning into film, she gave her breakout performance in the independent drama Winter's Bone (2010). Her first major commercial success was playing Mystique in the fourth installment of the superhero franchise X-Men (2011–16).
Lawrence gained international fame for playing Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games film series (2012–15), which established her as the highest-grossing action heroine at that point. As a dramatic actress, she has collaborated with director David O. Russell on multiple films. Her starring role in Russell's romantic comedy Silver Linings Playbook (2012) earned her the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, making her the second-youngest Best Actress Oscar winner ever. Lawrence also received Golden Globe Awards for her performances in Russell's comedy-dramas American Hustle (2013) and Joy (2015).

Rushes were approached to provide a proof of concept for a new science show that wanted to use heavily treated on screen graphics as info panels to relay information to the viewer.

"I want - to be - a big - big star"
"I want - to be - a big - big star"
The girl by the back-cloth is smoking her head off
While waiting for her turn to shine
While under the heat of the lights come and meet
The big men who could make her big time.
Oh there's such a lot of distance between
Her first audition and making the screen
Well she might do well
Or even excel
But somehow more likely they'll shatter her dream.
She has a lot to learn
And I hope she learns
For there's such a strong attraction
There's a fundamental reason
Which explains her action.
"I want - to be - a big - big star"
"I want - to be - a big - big star"
Well you must admire her conviction and fire
Let's hope it's sufficiently well lit
With all her devices avoiding the vices
Would seem an impossible skit.
Oh there's such a lot of distance between
Her first audition and making the screen
Well she might do well
Or even excel
But somehow more likely they'll shatter her dream.
She has a lot to learn
And I hope she learns
For there's such a strong attraction
There's a fundamental reason
Which explains her action.
"Alright Charlie, who've we got next?"
"Why not try the chick with the long hair?"
"Yeah! She, er she could be right
Why don't you have her up on the stage
And get her to do a few things?"
{PORTIA}
The quality of mercy is not strain'd;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath.
It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
