The following is the screenplay and plan for the sensor size and perspective excersice that I executed over the weekend.

SCENE 7         LIVING ROOM          DAY/INT

Gerry sits at a table doing the crossword.  Julia paces the room.  She goes to the window and looks out to the street.  She gazes at the sky, and then back down to the street.  She turns and looks at Gerry who, oblivious to her gaze, fills in a lengthy word in his puzzle.

Julia goes to a chair on which sits her handbag.  She rummages in the bag for her phone.  She checks the phone’s settings and drops it back into the bag.

After a moment, Julia goes to the landline phone, which is on the table near Gerry, and picks it up.  As she listens to the dial tone, Gerry looks up and their eyes meet.  She replaces the receiver in the cradle and averts her eyes from Gerry’s.  She folds her arms.
