Last week we prepared for the first showing last wednesday, so we wanted to make sure we had a complete scene for you guys. This led to us focusing on the broad beats of the scene. One of the notes we received from R-bex was that we had manifested these broad beats, but the smaller ones weren't there. So this week we tried to focus on the little beats and how to not get stuck. Switching the blocking from behind the bar to the front of the bar was weird. It still feels less natural but were figuring it out and it's definitely a better choice for the scene. We ended up just focusing on the first third of the scene and didn't get to the other stuff because we would just lose track of time and spend it all on the first two-three pages. Another thing we discussed was adding to our set. We're going to make a sign for the "Sandbar" and probably add some furniture to contextualize the room. 

Another thing we talked about was inspiration/things we've seen in movies and stuff that remind us of the vibe of the scene. We watched and talked about the first scene in the Social Network, where Jesse Eisenberg is a total smart-ass piece of crap boyfriend, and Rooney Mara is his well-intentioned, open-hearted girlfriend.
