Narrative: Story beats and Scripting

Brief

Reminder: For this Project I have to create an outline, script and a analyse Essay of the work i have done. It is a brilliant project and I will be using it to help me make one of the comics i have had in mind for a little while.

I had created two premises before; the Cafe one with a young inexperienced but diligent lady that owns her own Cafe and her struggles with troublesome customers. This was going to be in an animation format.

My second one was a a very brief idea about a comedy Zombie apocalypse survival comic book, which in the end I opted for because, it has been an idea I have had for a while and wanted to develop but mostly because I am more interested in the subject matter, if I am completely honest.

My last blog post on this was 08/10/2015.

My To-do List

Currently I am still working on the outline of the story and the brief, I have done a very rough version of the comic itself to help with the process.
I have now finalised my character outlines and my world setting, as well as what format my story will be told through.
I need to make the premise better, but that is now one of my last jobs to think about; I have the story all down, it is just a case of typing it up properly.
This blog in itself is going to help me log my toughts and account to some of my research.

I have done quite a bit of research on the topic, there is still more i need to do such as actually reading some more of hte comics in hate action/comedy/zombie genre. And grasping hte demographic of what my comic book will be targeted at. as well as cleaning up on most of my work; elaborating and condensing parts of my character profiles and the format of the comic.

My Script/Premise

It is all quiet on Randal Farm Texas, the sun is setting, and the golden light gleams on the fields of wheat, illuminating the dust and insect fuzz in the air.
The ground scuffled harshly by rugged boots, the pop of a Winchester shotgun...
Three wanderers arrive at the farm, their feet dragging, mouths drooling; they’re hungry. They rip planks off the barn groaning with anger and torment.
“Yeah, there’s chickens” one cries; Alana the leader of the group.
They tear at the barn more viciously; ripping the whole side of the barn off, straw and dust whirling up in to thick clouds. The farmer of the plot emerges out of the dust, mouth dribbling with blood, pitchfork in hand.
“F***”


 I know this premise needs some more work on it, to make it flow a bit more, it also downs meet the word count yet either, but it is a work in progress.
