Story Thoughts

I've been working on a very rough (very ugly) initial animatic to work out the timing and here are some notes I've been making:

Transitions from one shot to another:
1. How to introduce characters (other than Cameron who is introduced right off)
-The big guy may walk into the courtyard from a doorway or he may already be sitting there. Is he on a chair or the ground? What is his attitude?
-The singers on the street: were they just standing around already or do they appear first when they begin to sing "Ohhhhhh"
2. The sheet music. We are totally going to run with Tyler's suggestion on this one.
But how will we introduce the sheet music before cutting to a whole frame of lined music flying by? Should it be on a stand in front of the musicians or should we have an OTS (Over the shoulder) shot and zoom it in. I don't want the audience to say, "What? Where did that come from?!", so we may have to subtly introduce it in the first establishing shot. Just how, I am not sure.
