A Preliminary Script

Over the weekend we have been working on getting things ready for the shoot next Saturday. As I promised earlier, I said that we would be working on a script to finish next week. This is only, of course, a preliminary script since things like this can not be rushed overnight. As they say, like fine wine, it betters with age. For the most part, Taylor came up with this script, using the storyboard as a reference to begin the script. Once we begin finalizing the script, we will be able to complete storyboard, basing it off of the script.

Script:

Setting:  Alex has been alone for a few months, not having any human contact in months.  Alex is currently living in a Post Apocalyptic world where he is continuing to travel throughout South Florida to find any form of human contact.

Alex has a serious face, walking around, continually watching for anything that could be following him.

Alex’s eyes continue to travel to his walkie talkie, making sure it doesn’t say anything as it flickers on/off.

As Alex continues to walk, he sits down at a table, going through his backpack to know his provisions.  

Alex

1, 2, 3.  1, 2, 3, 4.  I’ll need to stop at the next town over for more food.

Alex writes down this information, keeping track of what he had just counted.

Alex also takes out his constellation map, tracking the date, and how far he has travelled since the last time he had checked, also writing that down in his journal.

Alex

Only a few more miles and hopefully only a few more miles until another person.  Haha.

Alex laughs to himself, a small smile on his face, trying to make light of the situation.

*Flashback*

Alex is on the road, driving his car with the windows downs as he drives during sunset.

Alex

*singing a song that will be need to pick* (maybe a country station or something)

*Flashback*

Alex wakes up, packing up his stuff to continue to walk to his destination,

As Alex walks, he looks around while humming, trying to get his mind off of the heat.

Alex takes his backpack off his shoulder, looking for his water bottle, drinking the last of the water that is in there.

Alex

Well, that’s depressing.

Alex veers off his path, heading for a stream to fill up his water bottle.

Alex stays there for a little, admiring the scenery before he gets back on his path, making sure to get a certain distance before setting up camp for the night.
