I'm at the stage in the writing of A65 where I'm wondering if I should just do a novelization of it so I can get a better hold of the story? And put in everything I want so I won't feel the need to slam it into the script. I want to tell this story as if the person reading it was actually seeing it, and my writing style is still too literary for that sort of scriptwriting.
Maybe I should do some quick, rough storyboards. I could get those done in the space of a month...maybe six weeks. Something quick and simple, like these...
These boards are from a horror script I wrote about a preacher who calls up a demon, hoping to prove to humanity the devil exists...
It works, and he agrees to have a demon walk the earth, wreaking death and destruction. But first he has to kill 5 innocent people...
...starting with the two girls here. The boy is the preacher's son, who's brought the girls to see how weird his father is.
In a perverse twist, the preacher soon realizes he is being made over into the demon. And that the Archangel Michael has been sent to stop him...in the person of a gay college student.
Anyway, doing boards for the first few pages helped me work out the images...but I still wrote them in too literary a style. I've been reading scripts and the shorthand in them irritates me, but is understandable. So...I changes my ways.
Let's see how long it lasts.

What about in first person? It has the feel of someone with a camera filming what's taking place. I think.
Well...first person is my usual style of writing...so I'm definitely contemplating that. The script is damn close to being a first-person type, because Adam's in every single solitary scene. Greedy.
