20% Blog - Week 2

 Today my group managed to finish up the outline of our film (Day of the Zombie) then proceeded to start work on the next step in our process. We looked into Mr. Trione's Producing and Directing a Short Film textbook for help in what our next step would actually be (Reason being...we're amateurs). Writing the script turns out not to be as easy we had originally thought. 

Character Backstory:

Brittany is a young and preppy teenager. Brittany is oblivious to the troubles and negative aspects of the world. She likes to only see the positive in all people and all situations. Brittany was raised with her little sister Paige and her two loving parents. Her childhood was more than a little sheltered, her biggest problems were Paige borrowing her clothes or using her laptop. Her parents did all they could to protect her gentle spirit from seeing the cruelty of the world. As Brittany grew up she realized not everything was rainbows and butterflies but part of her never stopped seeing the positive in people. She always puts way too much faith and love into the people around her. Brittany adopted a strange little group of misfits as her entourage. Paige, her little sister, awkward and hyper, didn’t have many friends of her own so Brittany lets her tag along. Amber is a country tomboy. Almost the exact opposite of Brittany but they became best friends after an all out girl war in the 6th grade. They’ve been there for each other every since, sharing secrets and giving support. Last but not least is Brittany’s boyfriend Cole. Cole came to the school about 2 years ago and was a total outcast. Anti-social and a little bit troubled Cole never really made friends. Brittany, as always, is quick to see the possibility of good in Cole. She befriends him and it slowly grows into more. Cole is protective and doesn’t let anything harm Brittany and her naturally trusting personality. Brittany isn’t oblivious to Cole’s protective aspects. She’s grown almost dependent on them in the past year or so that they’ve been together.
