Time to dive into the depths of NOVEMBER.
The second day of my BUStation career consisted of writing the first draft of my Hidden script; I mentioned in the last, and first, post that I was going to write a script about gambling (It also had a great picture of Tom and Dustin, you're welcome).
I had decided that my main character was going to be called "Gaz", because I picture him as the "absolute lad" we all secretly aspire to be. He's a fitness instructor at the gym and has a problem with gambling, in particular betting on the football. This led to the title of my script "Accumulator" after an ex hobby of mine.
I decided that the narrative will follow Gaz and his quest to find out the football results. I now needed a "James Corden" type character to bring in a couple of chuckles (ha ha ha) so I thought it would be good to have this character in the ofrm of Gaz's client at the gym.
With this addition it meant that I could bookend the script nicely with a role reversal by having it finish at Dylan's bar with the revelation that Gaz had lost, the house always wins, and Corden doing what he does best by consoling him with a pint.
I now had the characters,narrative and arena, all I needed to do now was actually put pen to paper (type on the computer whilst constantly checking my twitter and gmail) .
Well there we go, instead of the CARS, FOOTY and TITS that I promised in my last post you actually got a pretty little blog post about a man called Gaz and a tale of playing with fire and getting burnt.
Cheers.
