When we first started discussing the Script Frenzy, I was pissed, not going to lie. If anything, I just would have rather written a 100 page story, with little dialogue. But, when we could pick partners, at least I had Gannon to help me write it.

We picked a zombie survival film, and now that it’s done, the script wasn’t actually too bad. If we had more time, I think it could have been real awesome. Honestly, none of the packet helped me. I only did it because you assigned it, otherwise I would have just written the script as it was. The way I write, I never use planning or anything like that. I’m a very impulsive person, so that reflects on my writing. Being by far the longest paper I ever have had to write, it for sure taught me something about myself. It taught me that even though I didn’t get to 100 pages, that getting to 30 was a pretty difficult task.

It takes effort to complete, unlike 90% of the writing assignments I have completed throughout my high school career. Writing luckily comes easy to me, so I never really had to try on 2 page essays in English class, but I did like how this assignment challenged anything I’ve ever attempted before.

 My script got to about 32 pages, but I still think I managed my time well. Because I went to Poland for 10 days, I missed a lot of class time. Of course, there were times in class where I didn’t get my work done, but I made up for it by focusing and getting up to 5 pages a day done. The strength of my script would most likely be the realism I put into it.

The main characters are teenagers, so they do things other teens would do, like swear, drugs, etc. even in the zombie apocalypse that is destroying their world. A weakness would be the lack of detail at certain points, where I felt rushed to complete the script. Some of the scenes are visibly rushed. But other than that, I don’t really see a weakness, not to sound cocky or anything.

 If I had more time on this script, I would finish it. It would have more detail, and more importantly, this movie would become famous. I and Gannon could have made billions on this thing, it’s that good. Ha-ha I’m just kidding, but I did have a lot of fun writing this thing.
