Screenplay No. 4 (For Your Consideration)

"Mass. Ave"

This should be shot at dusk, just light enough to discern all of the detail here described. The view is anywhere on the first actual block after the bridge of the Boston side of Massachusetts Avenue (east side of the street). There should be a college-age couple, male and female—the male has a film camera on a tripod, pointed toward and above the film’s camera (which is approximately two lanes of traffic away on the street, perpendicular to the line of the road), the female a light meter around her neck. It should be made to seem that: a) they are in it for the long haul, b) it is the female’s film, and the male is helping her out. Preferably, he should have curly hair. Please, no acting, just waiting. Only soundtrack should be of passing traffic (sync not necessary). They should not be observed to speak; her view should be aligned at all times with the camera’s, while his may wander. One minute exactly; standard fade in and out.
