Thumbs up

Me and Grigs sorted out story today. We spent a good few hours down in the old BA room with just some post-it notes, a whiteboard, and a pen. I came out sweating - thats how hard we worked! We basically choreographed the whole dance, cut some unessasary gags, planned each characters actions throughout the film, and marked them out on a layout of the room.



Jed:

- Bobbing/kick a leg/head banging/going with flow
- Spinning/afro swing
- John Travolta pose - bum shake
- Dance with polisher, mic/rose pose
- Turn Off
- Moonwalk back to plug

Ed:

- Sleep
- Awaken
- Pats himself
- Grabs throat
- Waving
- Takes off mask
- Screams
- Wheels bed
- Reahes out to touch
- Slumps
- Hand twitch

Decisions:

- Cut high five
- Always holds polisher
- 70's, 80's, MJ, Saturday night - era of dancing
- Slumps right side of bed
- Fast cuts between both characters mouths - scream/sing
- Almost touches Jed while in microphone pose, slumps, Jed stands up, turns off, steam
- Head down moonwalk
- Pan up polisher to Jed

- Thumbnails, explain shots, reasons for.
