Blocking Challenge

So for this assignment, we are to recreate a long take scene from Woody Allen's Annie Hall. The scene is essentially the lead, Alvy having a conversation with his friend Rob as they walk down a sidewalk. The shot is a static long take, Alvy and Rob start the shot from an extreme long shot in the background and gradually make their way into the foreground to a medium shot.

Except it's a sci-fi zombie musical.

We were assigned into groups and as follows:

Director/Screenplay - Ian Kelley
Producer/1st AD - Viet Nguyen
Director of Photography/ Editor - Paul Cirigliano
Lighting/Sound - Knox Gray
Set Design/Makeup/Costume/PA - Maura Johnson

Our idea is our two main leads are zombies walking down the street while "normal" people are passing by and reacting awkwardly to their undead appearance. They will be difficult to understand and will be speaking in an unintelligible zombie dialect only they can understand. We'll insert subtitles as they communicate. My idea is that after their lines have spoken, they'll break into song and dance away happily in apocalyptic bliss.

We are currently scouting locations and the weather will be clear. We have equipment; a primary camera and backup, and between the group, various microphones and cellphones to record audio. Hopefully we will only have to costume our 2 leads and not much more. I am currently in talks with the other group to see who is available for actors/extras. Some of our group members are also asking around. I'm feeling confident that the shoot will work out, but as a producer I am in constant frenetic state. It's hard to suppress the director in me and let someone else take charge of what will end up on-screen, but I welcome this experience and I definitely need to get used to working with a group and not being in charge.
