Collaboration • First Draft

  I have chosen to take the space portion of our script, main reason for this is making it a little easier to research as I'm already deep in space research for my Character Design project 'The Astronut', the work just needs to be adapted and made comedic.


the first draft is below, its got the basic gist of what I wanted to get.

Start

Sign saying connecting with a satellite image and ellipse, like a typical loading screen.
We come back in to see 2 astronauts in chairs and the reporter behind them.

A very simplified version of Apollo cartoony if possible

We see the reporter with visual clues from the other scenarios, he’s a little tired and visible worn out

R ‘Today is the twentieth of July 1969, I am with Neil and Edwin... Today we have been uh’ 

He looks out the window, there is nothing but stars but where the camera is fixed we cannot see that

R ‘Ummm Launched into space?’

The astronauts nod

R ‘Oh I remember we’re going to the moon, one small step for man and so on’


Neil looks around and cocks his head as if he’s never heard that before, deciding to steal it for later.

The reporter sighs

R ‘Its been a long day, at least this view is nice’

E ‘oh it sure is, I want to get a closer look’

He heads for the door

R ‘nooo’

Static ‘disconnected attempting reconnection’ on screen


It reconnects we now see a scene of chaos

Both astronauts are fighting and the reporter just in foetal position, All are floating around

The screen disconnects again and the screen fades to black.
