Shot Study for Keskarel, Act 2, Scene 1

keep it simple, sylvia

so now that i've imagined the whole dumbshow reflected in Diana's eye, i'm thinking 'why keep it dumb?' POV will be cutting away to long shots, flashback and back into the eyeball movie screen again, anyway. why write dialogue when there's all that great Hamlet + Ophelia material ready + public domain. and why not let Hamlet be heard as he + Ophelia improvise their fight scene while Keskarel watches, projecting her own bad experience onto the scene. K won't hear Hamlet, but we will. keep it simple and straightforward, and make the most of our shots.

lots of material to mine. don't need to reinvent the wheel.

An Experiment with a Goal in My Mind's and Diana's Eye

i want a shot of the menacing male figure of the dumbshow approaching Keskarel's window, and a cutwaway, very very close up shot of that figure reflected in Diana's fabulous green eyes, and a final shot of Diana pulling away. if, big if, there is a flashback in Keskarel, these likely are the shots that will provide the transition to the flashback. 

my experiment was with a not so menacing subject - three white lion cubs born about a year ago. i wanted something that was active.
