So nice to hear from you Olivia. I am sure that you and ALL of the less frequent posters are working elsewhere, ready to spring the whole thing on those of us who fret and fumble more publicly. I look forward to seeing what percolates.
I see Jen has altered our name. Sooner or later, we will have to think about a title fpor the script. Maybe we will be lucky and it will survive to filming.
JP is a public figure, meaning we can refer to him without his permission. The Eye itself is his property and we will need his permission to use its name and something that looks like it on film. I certainly hope the publicity will be sufficiently good to make him grant us that permission. That is someone else's worry later on.
So, how about what makes us come down right? What is right as we see it?
Mike, John, what say you? Pam? So much of what I have posted is like someone else said- spaghetti thrown up to see if it will stick. Are we producing an attractive arrangement of noodles, or is there a puddle on the floor?
Here is a revised outline, still pretty vague:
Sc 1: Introduce female character I
Sc II Introduce the Eye
Sc III, introduce male character I
Sc IV introduce Katz
Sc V more Eye
Sc VI, more characters, introduced via Eye and otherwise ( 2d male, 2d female?)
Sc VII Katz and Lisa visit.
Sc VIII any last characters introduced. (3rd female)
Sc IX Death of Katz
Sc X, Lisa visits Katz family
Sc XI Katz Death announced
Sc XII Eyesters begin plotting funeral visit
Sc XIII Two women begin trek
Sc XIV One man joins them
Sc XV Funeral visitation? Who all is here from the Eye
Sc XVI Hotel?
SC XVII Funeral- first connection of all five together
SC XVIII Drinking and talking
Sc XIX Some stay on
Sc XX Some slip away to sleep and blog
Sc XXI Hooking up or not
Sc XXII Well, hooking up anyway
Sc XXIII The next day
SC XXIV farewell
Sc XXV Blogging again
Roll Credits
PLEASE tell me what is wrong- offer better ideas when they come up. Help flesh out the gaps, make some sense where it is missing.
We will need to write our own posts, to figure out how long the time runs ( I think Thanksgiving to Easter, more or less ) Where the characters live, what they drive, how to keep them sorted, how to make them mesh quickly, etc. There is work to be done, but time and space to do it.
I wish you all a pleasant and productive weekend
And goodnight to all of you in Over The Shoulder land, too..

I'm sorta new to the whole movie biz . . . is that too many cutscenes?
ReplyDeleteWanna know what? I read your comment, Mike and thought, well, there's usually about 25. Let's count. Guess what? 25 on the nose.
ReplyDeleteTrask nailed it. And I love it.
I feel momentum.
That was from Jen.
