Phew! Been busy, mostly with side projects (including this).
The first 10-15 pages were due in my class about two weeks ago. On the day they're due, students apply for roles and we have a giant table read - with the writer listening only on that day. I was, in all honesty, surprised by the positive reaction I received from everyone in the class; there were a few changes they suggested, which I've already made. I'll be posting that revised part of the script here for you guys, with a few notes:
-The formatting is odd. If you've never read a movie script, it's designed this way so that one page of script comes out to be one minute of time on the screen. The premise is basically a short-sell of the script to get people interested. Usually with a script, a list of parts is attached, but I didn't have to do that.
-The movie starts off running. I struggled with how to open it, starting with both Vanguard and Vandal; then with Fire crashing into Manhattan; then with Fire receiving his mission; and finally with our current incarnation. A lot of my fellow students and professor mentioned that it made the movie much stronger than the original opening I had.
-If there are parts that just seem to never be touched again, it's because this is the first 14 minutes of the movie - there's 106 minutes left for me to reveal things.
-...It's also the first story in a series of events; so don't be surprised if, when I'm finished, you never find out what Ginger looks like underneath her mask, or why Christina and Fire are drawn to each other, or even what Wrath has in store for our heroes.
So, without further ado, I present HAVEN!
...After I find out how to add attachments!
Well... Here's a media fire link for a zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?do1s0p760ajdy6n
I put both an .odt and .doc into it... and in a zip so you guys don't have to worry if I'm loading a .exe to you. Feel free to read!
