Wide shots

Things are really moving along.  Michael and I met with Aaron or 1st AD this afternoon for our first discussion on schedule.  I had to give him an idea of the number of shots I am thinking about, which was hard.  My head has been in production and not in the creative side of things, so I have to switch over now.  Anyway, I came up with a number of around 80 shots, after going through the script scene-by-scene. 

What I have to remember is my intention for this film to use wide shots as much as possible, allowing the action to play in the wide.  It is influenced by Kurosawa and early Zhang Yimou.  It is very powerful when used well and when I wrote this script, that was always in the back of my mind.
