Script - Final Piece

Draft of the Script

First Scene

Neil is chasing after a survivor, the two eventually start to fight as Neil catches up; an unknown survivor appears with a gun and takes a shot. It is revealed that the gunman is Dan, Neil's human friend. Neil begins to eat the survivor who was shot.

Dan: When the world went to shit, some stayed with their loved ones. When things went to hell, some followed.

But me? I'm a bit more sentimental, and so is my best friend Neil... or at least he was.

Second Scene

A news reporter is sat at a desk in a plain room and is trying to remain calm but comes off as emotionless or perhaps even scared. He appears to be holding sheets of paper with information on.

Reporter: This is an emergency public service announcement. In regards to the recent quarantine in local areas, the government has declared a state of emergency.

*Swallows hard*

Citizens are advised against going outside unless it is absolutely necessary, government extraction will occur as soon as possible.

In the mean time, avoid anyone who is believed to be infected. Remember...

*Puts down paper and looks at the camera*

These individuals are dangerous and certainly not human.

Key Notes:

This seems to be the overall plan for dialogue and general actions that occur on screen, although I feel that I need to clarify that the Dan part is to be done as a voice over. I might also change the order of the script, especially since I need to include some stock footage of the collapse of society.

Also for the title of the overall film, I was thinking about honing in on the friend aspect of the two characters by calling it 'Dan and Neil: Roommates' but then including an effect that somehow turned it into 'Dan and Neil: Doommates' because it's wordplay to better associate it with the post apocalyptic nature of the zombie genre.
