“Quiet on the set, quiet on the set,” Kim Saucier shouted, trying to hush the 10 pizza-devouring teenagers gathered in her living room to watch last week’s episode of the Fox reality series “On the Lot.”

Saucier, a video production teacher at Hermon High School, alerted her student audience every time the show returned from commercial, and demanded their attention, as only an educator could.

During the one-hour show, host Adrianna Costa announced Saucier as the winner of a nationwide search to find the best subject on which contestants would base their next short film. Saucier’s entry was chosen from 25,000 suggested “log lines,” or 25-word-or-less scenarios that the aspiring filmmakers would use as a starting point for their films that will air tonight.

Saucier’s winning log line – “A man wakes up, rolls out of bed and finds himself in a dress … but he can’t remember what happened the night before.”

Saucier’s video production students met at her Levant home last Tuesday night to witness the announcement, support their teacher and tease her just enough so she will not forget Hermon High while she’s out in Los Angeles for the taping of the show.

“It would be hilarious if they said, ‘And the winner is … we’ll reveal it next week,'” said Ryan Potter, 16. “Or, or, if Ashton Kutcher walks in and goes, ‘You’ve been punk’d!'”

Saucier, a harsh critic of the contestants’ films, watched the show with her students, whom she has trained to analyze film content, camera angles, lighting and plots.

Video production was introduced to Hermon High when Saucier began teaching at the school two years ago. When she started the program, Saucier had to encourage students to take her class; now she has a waiting list. Even her son has signed up for the course. At the end of the last school year she was awarded the school’s golden apple, which is given to the teacher who contributed the most to Hermon High.

In the new school year, Saucier intends to use “On the Lot” as a template for her course, but before she went to work developing lesson plans, she and her family made the trip to Los Angeles for the live airing of tonight’s show.

At the very end of last week’s hour-long broadcast, Costa announced the winner of the “log line challenge,” and to jokester Potter’s dismay, she read “And the winner is … Kim Saucier of Levant, Maine.”

The crowd burst into laughter after Costa’s announcement because the attractive, young brunette had pronounced the Saucier hometown using a French accent, rather than making it sound like the small insects.

“Boy, they are going to think we are a lot more sophisticated than we really are,” said Brian Saucier, 38, Kim’s husband.
