tone and look
i want this shot as a typical comedy. A good example is
These characters and the town are stagnating, and i
want the camera to reflect that, so not much movement.
Each scene will have:
•Establishing shot of each scene.
•master shot of each scene
•MCU's of each character.
•Occasional scenes will have CU's of each character.

Bob's hometown house where his mother, edith, still lives
has not been re-decorated since 1984.
Bob's former teammate marty, owns this sports themed local bar. It can be any local bar where you would go to get wings,
watch a game and is easy to film at.
the local high school football field, empty at night where bob drinks. I understand this could be a fortune to film like this. If necessary, it could be shot at sunset although I'd prefer him sitting alone on the bleachers at night.
the local vfw or depressing event space where
the high school reunion is held.
the cafe where chippah steals the coffee from. can be any local coffee bar nearby to where we shoot, or the cheapest one.
