From Script to Screen - Changes to be implimented
After feedback from the OGR it was evident that the characteristics didn't fit the names of my characters, the names were very generic, it was suggested that I rethink they're names and certain parts of the plot.
Originally I had three characters; Zack, Lisa and Damien...Zack being the main character, Lisa being the love interest and Damien being man Lisa seems to be interested in.
Originally I had three characters; Zack, Lisa and Damien...Zack being the main character, Lisa being the love interest and Damien being man Lisa seems to be interested in.
Damien who later turns out to be gay in the short, so he had to have the most manliest name for comical effect when the audience finds out he's gay, his names now inspired by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is now called Dominik Fischer-Dieskau
Zack's Love interest (Lisa), had no personality, and some more work really should be done about her biography, as she's very generic...She's going to be a Jessica Rabbit type character, and the alpha female type, I decided on naming her Martha Mödl after the famous opera singer
Zack on the other hand seemed very young compared to what the ordinary Brain surgeon would be like, so I changed his name to James Adamson , MD; a man 47 of age, he's inspired by Peter Jacobson's role on the TV series "House", he's still very awkward and, it still stands that James has known Lisa from a very early age.
Change in Story:
In the beginning instead of James, starting off in his room, then transitioning to him handing in his show ticket, before sitting down to watch Martha sing, It starts with him doing an operation, whilst listening to music, the camera'll go to the CD case..he happens to be listening to Maitha, then it's smoothly transitions to the show.
There's also a part showing James stalking, Dominik and instead of his being lead to a random alley, he'll be taken to the operation room, James was working in, in the beginning.

From Script to Screen - Final Idea
Before I started writing and looking into what would be my final Idea, number 3 (Zombie outbreak) was what I was looking to reproduce, but as I started writing, Number 1; The tragic love story of the Brain Surgeon became my favorite, and it's the Idea I'll be going forward with hopefully
1
Brain Surgeon falls for and opera singer, he brings he a blender as a gift
Awkward
brain surgeon; name’s harry. He’s been obsessing over a girl since the since 9th
grade. She grew up to become a famous opera singer while he’s become a socially
inert brain surgeon. One day he decides to go and visit her and confess his
love to her. He’s over-thinking everything this very day and he’s a nervous
wreck, for some reason he seems to believe that a blender is a good idea for a
present (well, she a woman, and his mum liked blenders…). He confidently wraps
up the blender and walks backstage after a show to present her with a gift, as soon
he sees her he becomes a vegetable (not literally), he doesn’t move a limb and doesn’t
utter a word, she approaches him and he lifts the gift, he stares at her and
she sets the gift down, as she unboxes it, he looks down at her table and sees
a picture which appears to be ripped out, it’s an image with him and her on graduation
day at their local college, he sees this and thinks “she’s been obsessing over
me too!” he moves closer to her and she has a smile on her face, in his years
he never thought this would work, he’s the happiest man on earth….but she’s not
smiling at him, behind him is the missing part in the picture, it’s an old
friend; thing is…they used to date years ago and he’s back to get her back (they
had a bad break up), but with the look on her face, she’s happy to see him, Harry
turns around as she passes him and she walks out holding hand with the girl, a
tear drops form his eyes, he’s a broken man. He unpacks the blender/food mixer,
detaches it, inserts the battery and walks out alone, with blender in hand.
2 A Brain Surgeon who gains traits after drink
a brain from a subject
80 year old retired brain surgeon – Miles, he’s been
collecting peoples brains to gain abilities, for years now he’s been intrigued
by musicians and is drawn to a concert hall (He lives in New York), there’s a
jazz band playing and he goes to the show, he stays till the end until the
whole show is over, the lights dies out and all that seems to remain is the
jazz/soul musician, the brain surgeon emerges from the dark and he reveals his
blender as he approaches the musician. Freaked out by this the Music starts
walking backwards, and so the chase sequence begins, now the brain surgeon has
the blender in hand and is chases after the musician around the concert hall,
the chase sequence would be heavily inspired by tom and jerry; obstacles would
be in the way of the surgeon and the end result would have the musician successfully
escape and the surgeon in the hands of big Russian cleaners
3 Zombie surviving Brain surgeon
People
are being made to evacuate their homes into safe houses, Zack – a student
training to be a brain surgeon, just came back from work, and well aware of the
situation he hastily packs all the essentials he needs and heads out the door
to leave the takes a last look at the kitchen and sees a blender…he’s going to
use this as a weapon. He heads down the stairs and runs down the street to a
concert hall (he lives in New York) which he was informed was a safe house,
zombies are loitering around the streets and he makes his way through all of
them. He’s outside the concert hall, looks at it for a second, windows are
smashed and it no longer looks safe, at this point zombies are closing in on
him. He has to make a quick decision to save his life, he’s about to flee the
scene when he see a young girl trapped…zombies are closing in on her and she
has no way out, he has a plan. Zack inserts battery into this food mixer/
blender hybrid, zombies hear this noise and begin closing in on him, they can’t
see him, but they can smell him; fortunately enough for him they’re drawn to
the sound, he scales the building and lowers down a rope to the girl, he shouts
out to her and she looks up, grabs on to the rope as Zack pulls her up, they
escape to run down building, fortify the place, Zack and the young girl are
sharing a can of beans, the beginning of their adventure is the end of our
insight into this world.

From Script to Screen - More ideas
I wasn't to sure what worked and what didn't so I started rethinking things, these are just a few more ideas I had. I like the Zombie Outbreak idea, I think I'll take this forward and work more on it so I could have a creative writing piece before I begin work on a script.
