Hopefully I won't be decapitated

Semester complete. This is the last bit of work I have left for James Dolph's screenwriting class. I have to say...this was quite an experience. Four months ago I had never done a creative writing piece in my life, and now I have thirty pages of a screenplay turned in for grading. There are parts of the script that I am happy with and other parts that I would still like to work on a bit more. The addition of more self-reflexive attributes would need to play up, but I was trying to remove this notion of origination. Obviously, an unknown source of zombies ties in with the existing mythology, and by giving the viral-like attributes an origin, it really limits the scope of how grand the entire film could be.

My favorite part of the script comes within the last fifteen pages or so. This is where the zombies actually come out and begin wreaking havoc. There is very little dialogue in these pages because there is a lot of build-up with the scenery and a lot more action. The first half of the first act lacks this action.

The opening dorm room scene still needs a lot of work. I just can't get it right in my head right at this minute. I polished the dialogue a bit more in the scene, but the flow is still off especially with the addition of the cut-scenes to black screen with the narrator.

All in all, however, I can say that this class has been quite a journey, and I plan on continuing to work on the script. Who knows? Someday, I might even get it made.
