Day Four

A first stab at some scenes today. The first time you put a scene 'on its feet' is always a little awkward and stumbling, but it's good to have a preliminary sketch of the scene's physical shape.

One of our company is ex-army and he put us through our paces with a few drills of standing to attention, at ease, and a little marching and halting. Obviously to real soldiers these actions are so well-practiced as to become totally automatic, and it's important that we work towards that ourselves. So the more we're drilled by our honorary Sergeant-Major the better, as far as I'm concerned. I hope I don't regret that thought...
