*Ideas for Dog Eared Death Discussed Sat (Claire to add Notes to)

*Lighting Grainy/stylised '70's

Walk in to place as if going into work
Nod curtly to someone leaving as if taking over for shift
Keep the poem as a complete voiceover
Film the scenes separately
Hitchcock-like tension build/suspense
Preparation for a visitor
Innocence/naievety as opposed to sexual
Capture anticipation
Someone coming to visit

Background:
Viv loves this place, it is her comfort zone
She is very relaxed here.
Shots of Viv running hands along luxurious fabrics e.g velvet
and also objects relating to Funeral parlour found in GAYP
Option to wear e.g. surgical rubber glove for some/all shots?
Also place as cameos other eulogy props e.g. Cathy Wig/JCVD Hat
for her to 'covet'. These could look very incongruous with surroundings

Building 'visitor' scene:
Viv arranges black flowers in vase
Sets table for tea for two
Candle Stick {Light candle if allowed and does not affect lighting}
She bustles around, perhaps saying some lines to self
She is very proud of her imminent 'visitor'
Make up - Cut to funeral/body make up if avail from GAYP
Look like Viv is putting it on ( tho I assure you I won't be!!)
Shot of Viv with added make up on/lipstick
Shot with gold scarf/yet to be decided if wear as 'turban' like live show? {What do you all think?}
Viv looking reflective/waiting for visitor
Blow out candle/or candle to sputter as 'visitor' arrives
Capture smoke blowing in draft or noise of door opening
Never actually see visitor

As we ran out of time on Sat this is obviously up for discussion/input and also what feels right on the day given the location.
