Screenplay No. 6 (For Your Consideration)
"See?"
Featureless white space, with a man sitting on a wooden stool in the lower left quadrant. He has an electric guitar (Fender or Gibson, true school not new school). He is dressed in stylish semi-casual. He is meant to suggest a distinguished improvisor, but should have no background whatsoever in music. Have him improvise frenetically for two minutes with his head bent down in concentration. At the two-minute mark the director will audibly shout “Mark!”—at this, the improvisor will angrily lift his head, look directly at the camera, and shout “See?” Glossy cinematography.
