Five Dates Part 3 (Production):
You and Carrie were waiting at the restaurant that would serve as the backdrop for all five dates. It was perfect for both of you. While it was not the restaurant that you would enjoy having, as there was no stage for shows, and it was a more traditional American restaurant…
Yet you were happy that it was the case. Maybe more people would be happy to see themselves with this kind of place, rather than it being niche and specific.
"Well, I can't say that this was what I wanted, but it will have to do?" The crew was preparing for the first day of the shoot, and you took a deep breath, looking through the camera lens, and were happy with what you were seeing.
"Aren't you going to make me sit here and try to prevent me from doing anything funny?" Carrie asked.
"Why would I make my Starlet angry with uncomfortable and uncertain demands?" Oh, she was going to love this.
"Oh, I would have thought an Emmy Award-winning director would have an ego the size of the moon, and work hard to keep his reputation?"
She was goading you and you loved it. "Perhaps I can choose unflattering light for scenes, or get angry with you about not doing something right?"
There was something spontaneous about that before Robin came bursting in, with the makeup bib still in his shirt. "Oh my darling, there seems to be an escape from the studio, they are looking for their script!"
He was trying to get you to laugh, but you did. "Alright Robin, thank you. But we're going to do good."
There was a smile. "Thanks, Bruce," He had relaxed his tone. "I'm just… trying to get my head around me being in a picture, rather than on a stage with the liners."
"Well, we have plenty of time to come up with some of them." you said.
But the final person you were waiting for was your father, who was clearly grumpy at his arrival on set. "You should have chosen someone else, Bruce." He said quietly. "I put this life behind me a long time ago."
"Even when you set me off on this path by booting Me with Clint?"
"I trusted Clint, he was a good friend, and he made some great choices, but I don't want this Hollywood dream anymore. I'm only doing this because you offered me a hundred thousand dollars and because Sarah wouldn't let me here the end of this if I didn't come."
You just gave him a hug. "Think of it as a swan song, a final goodbye for good."
"That's the thing Bruce, even if it were, there will be people that will always ask me if I would come back. And I'm not willing to give them that satisfaction." He stated.
Then you just said. "And what if you are wrong? What if you find enjoyment in it again?"
Your father sighed. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
--------------------------------------
As the director, you have the ability to try and shoot the film in whatever style you want it to be:
How do you want to shoot it?
[]One Camera: You want to use one camera to work through the film, taking multiple takes, to get it once. You always found it easier to control, but time-consuming.
[]Multi Camera: You are going to use multiple cameras to get the best shot in any given scene, to give you the best shots. But there is a much easier way to make a mistake.
[]The Oners!: you are going to get as much of the film done in one take as possible. It is considered a highly difficult shooting process. But the results are breathtaking once done.
[]Write in
-------------------------------------
You are the director and have
4 Actions!
[]Falling in Love Again: You and Carrie have a Camera, and you decide to let all the feelings out.
[]Marks Masterful… Mischief: You and Mark just couldn't find a way to do things together… so instead, you found a good way to get the scenes apart. Because you knew what would happen.
[]Michaels's First Job: Mike is not entirely sure of himself before… and you instead took it upon yourself to coach him a little, and make things just a little bit better for him. Get him more comfortable with being in front of the camera.
[]The Legendary Quips of Robin Williams: Robin, hit me with your best shot, and don't worry, the Cameras are rolling.
[]Dad's Destiny: You and Dad are going to talk about his issues. Rather… his issues with being on film again.
[]Debbies Details: You honestly don't know what else to try with Debbie, but you want her opinion on what she would like to do.
[]A Few Problems Less: Gary needs you to help him with some issues with the City of LA… turns out you need to appear for another thing.
[]Five nights and five Dates on Set: George came in with Marcia, and there was something that just made you feel fuzzy. And Carrie knew it.
AN: enjoy and vote in plan format please.
