Three major events today:
The Line For Lyons scene – we decided to move completely away from question and answer and just deal with responses, with both actors playing Baker and improvising off of each others’ answers. This worked so much better and gives a lot more to play with.
Secondly, in the Love & Loneliness scene – we merged all the dialogue into a montaged, condensed monologue by Chet’s alter ego. Again, much more powerful – and we decided with The Thrill Is Gone, less is more and we should work more with light and shadows rather than naturlistic drug taking.
We also started trying out the shaving sequence with Let’s Get Lost – something we adapted from a photograph of Chet shaving. Lots of potential here.
