Just started drafting out a prose version of Screenplay #3, or a 'treatment' as it's called.
It's funny how it doesn't matter how long you spend looking at the plans and thinking about the design, it's not until you start digging the foundations that you really start to get a feel for how the house is going to look or what it's going to be like to live there. I've been mulling over this story for a few months now, but haven't really made much progress in terms of thinking about structure and character arcs and the like. Now that I've started writing the treatment, all that is becoming much clearer. Already scenes have been dropped, new ones added, and motivations explored. And I'm not even a whole page in yet.
In case you're curious, this one's a romcom. No zom. Absolutely no zom. But I do have Simon Pegg in mind for the lead.
