DESCRIPTION: In this fundamentals class, it was my first attempt at really writing in full script format. I had never had to storyboard or do character bios before. I had done some creative writing before, much like a beat sheet, but nothing to this extent. Despite this, I enjoyed the process very much. Getting the opportunity to craft my own story, fact or fiction, and run with it however I wanted was great. In this script I wrote about a couple, Carter and Ruby Knight, and their struggle living during a post-nuclear society. It starts standard, they go out to town to spend the night, however things go bad fast. Carter and Ruby are separated and Carter is taken away and dumped in some random location. His goal is to, first, find his wife and then stop whoever caused the conflict.
