Who is present: Callum Molyneux, Georgie Horne, Katie Turner and Maia Creed
Agenda: Script assessment, script choice and ideas for redrafting

Callum's script:

• Narrative: Zombie apocalypse
• Reece main character
• Chester the talking dog
• Postman who delivers letters
• Descriptive dialogue
• Detailed/simple storyline to avoid confusion
• Flowing dialogue
• Casting: Georgina - Postman, Callum - Reece, Maia - Chester
• Time set - all throughout day - Present time
• Two - three weeks to film
• Location: Cambridge, Long Road
• VFX: zombie apocalypse, morphing, blood
• Impressiveness
• Achievability - wide variety of skills, regular people morphing into zombies
• Computer effects
• Maia - textiles costume design and make-up

Maia's script:

• Narrative: Zombie apocalypse 
• Group of 3 girls and 1 boy with powers of the Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water
• Have to defeat the zombie apocalypse
• Descriptive similar to Callum - attention to detail
• A lot going on - series of events
• "I'm so excited to start college" -Lauren descriptive describing actions
• "Why do I look like a normal person, but inside I am really some insane person"
• Casting: each four members of the group is a character
• Sam = Callum
• Lauren = Georgie
• Milly = Maia
• Kate = Katie
• Location: Long Road, Cambridge because it's easy to get to, cheap and avoids travelling
• VFX: morphing, earthquakes, blood, fire, water, death, zombies
• Impressive because there are a lot of VFX to engage the audience
• Achievability = hard because of the amount of VFX

Katie's script:

• Narrative: zombie apocalypse 
• Boy gets bullied and moves to specialist school and has to fight a zombie apocolypse
• Characters: Kieran (main), Sam, Joe and Daniel (bullies), 
• Kieran's new friends- Danny, Richard and Matt
• Descriptive, powerful dialogue to involve the readers and make them have sympathy for Kieran
• Casting = people of group chose their characters
• Time: Present daytime
• VFX: teleportation, super-punches, fire
• Location: Cambridge, Long Road
• Wild range of VFX: impressiveness
• Achievable is VFX works well

We are combining the different ideas in each script to make one complete redraft. We plan to use a character from each of our scripts and to make them come together and fight a zombie apocolypse, where they can combine their unique and different powers.
