Table Read Daft One

After the first table read of my first draft for my screenplay, I was adviced to add screen direction in the scene to allow the reader to understand the main charcter is speaking out loud.
Also a few words are missing spaces in between which need to be fixed.

The pro's are that is was well decribed and a good narrative.

Screenplay that exist and relate

28 Days Later


Uses the same idea of a mutation turning human into flesh eating zombies, unlike my idea it portrays the mutation as being linked to an infection in blood, while mine is a genetic mutation that happens over generations.

Dawn of the Dead


Uses again mutate like humans (zombie) but does not devop the idea of how they are infected.

Devoped idea.

after testing atoms bombs in the desserts of usa the scientist and workers closes to the blast radius have mutated genes which the us govement covered up, generation later, the mutated genes change the newborn the new mutated people are locked up as the genes cause the brain to take full control of the body but decreases brain functions so they can only die by removal of the head.  Characters include investigators trying to get to the bottom of why someone’s new born was taken by a shady govement organisation. And investigator investigates an underground bunker which houses (zombie like) mutants that are being trying to be cover up by a shady organisations one of the investigators let out the mutants and is ripped apart the mutants go on a rampage, and the investigators try to escape with some members of the organisations, they then realise after some deaths that they must stop the mutants out of the bunker and the main characters sacrifice themselves.

Three Ideas for Screen Plays

3 ideas:

Idea 1: A boy wakes ups on a beach with no memeory and doesn't know were he is, has to find lost family.

Idea 2: after testing atoms bombs in the desserts of usa the scientist and workers closes to the blast radius have mutated genes which the us govement covered up, generation later, the mutated genes change the newborn the new mutated people are locked up as the genes cause the brain to take full control of the body but decreases brain functions so they can only die by removal of the head.  Characters include investigators trying to get to the bottom of why someone’s new born was taken by a shady govement organisation.

Ideas 3: A man freezes himself in cryogenigcs he  thinks he wakes up in the future and turns out his body and pumping linving heart is being used to pump blood out to be sold on the black market nd his mind is being kept in staties and the world he is in is not real, he has to find out by meeting people in the statis world from his memory and subconius people he has invented with his mind.

Analyse ‘Back To the Future’: last scene

(From 3.06 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15FlJENWu54 )

Marty opens the garage to reveal his facial expression, a mix of shock and joy. Cuts to the truck Marty has always wanted, he leans on the truck as Marty’s girlfriend Jennifer enters into the backdrop outside the garage.

Jennifer: How about a ride mister?

Marty looks at her in disbelief that she is there.

Marty: Jennifer.

He walks towards her.

Marty: Oh are you a sight for sore eye. Let me look at you.

Marty stands to the left of Jennifer, places his hands upon her shoulders and looks deep in her eye still with a look of disbelief. Jennifer stares back at him and says.

Jennifer: Marty, you’ll acting like you haven’t seen me in a week

Marty takes her left hand and replies.

Marty: I haven’t.

Jennifer looking now confused, stokes his forehead as if to check for a temperature or a bump and asks him.

Jennifer: You ok? Is everything alright?

Jennifer moves her hand to the back of Marty’s head and then to his shoulder, as Marty keeps hold of Jennifer’s hand and turns his head and upper body to look behind him, Jennifer keeps her eyes fixed on Marty’s trying to keep eye contact.

Cuts to shot looking though the see-trough door were Marty’s parents, Lorraine and George McFly, smiling at Marty and Jennifer. Lorraine’s head resting on George’s shoulder they turn around and start to walk away back into the house as Marty says off camera.

Marty: O’yeah.

Marty turns back around to face Jennifer still holding her hands

Cuts back to Marty and Jennifer in the same position, Jennifer moves her arm around to the back of Marty’s neck and they kiss. Just as they kiss a large a large flash and bang happens off shot, Jennifer and Marty’s hair is blown and they turn around to face the direction of were the flash and bang came from with shocked expressions.

Cuts to a shot of the delorean time machine driving through metal garbage cans. And parks up right in front of the camera on Marty’s drive way. Marty and Jennifer walk towards the camera, camera pans round to show Marty Jennifer and the delorean time machine in the same shot. The delorean car door opens and Doc Brown jumps out and stares at Marty wearing unusual clothes. He says.

Doc: Marty,

He walks quickly up to Jennifer and Marty grabs Marty’s arms and says

Doc: You’ve got to come with me

Marty: Where?

Doc takes off his glasses and says

Doc: Back to the future

Cuts to Doc going through garbage cans and picking up waste, Marty runs over and asks

Marty: wait a minute, what are you doing Doc?

Doc: I need fuel

Doc empties the waste into the top of the delorean.

Doc: go ahead, quick get in the car.

Marty: no no no no, Doc I just got here okay.

He points at Jennifer

Marty: Jennifer’s here, we’ll gonna take the new truck for a spin.

Doc: well bring her along, this conseres her too

Marty: wait a minute Doc, what are you talking about, what happens to us in the future. Do we become arseholes or something?

Doc: no no no no Marty, both you and Jennifer turn out fine, it’s your kids Marty something has got to be done about your kids!

Cuts to delorean backing out of Marty’s drive and onto the road. Then cuts to inside the delorean, Jennifer sitting on Marty’s lap.

Marty: hey Doc we better back up we don’t have enough road to get up to 88.

Doc looks at Marty puts his sunglases down and says

Doc: roads? Where we’ll going, we don’t need roads.

The delorean takes off and flies into the screen ending the scene and movie.
