[Script] Sentinel Chronicles - Project November - Outline

So I have been helping my friend Jay Welin write his baby "The Sentinel Chronicles" for almost 6-7 years.  He controls the story, but I help him flesh it out.  Film is a collaborative art and with the exception of my own works where I have written AND produced, a lot of times what I write isn't...the same...as my first draft, but I thought this time around I'd offer some transparency into the process.

Here is the outline we're starting with for what he's filming in November.

Act 1 - Set Up

Scene 1 - As credits roll, two officers discuss how he was supposed to receive a cushy assignment from the front lines, and he owed him, and their vital supplies were cut, and the other officer caves and agrees to send 'vitally important supplies'

Scene 2 - Our hero the pilot has that endearing scene with his father.

Scene 3 - One of the two officers informs Pilot that he has a vital mission to deliver supplies.

Scene 4 - Plane is soaring over the plains.  Witty banter between pilot and co pilot.

Scene 5 - Bandits crackerjack back and forth like Jawas about to get R2 and launch a missile at our Plane.  Crash.

Act 2 - Man Down!

Scene 1 - Our man drags himself out of the wreckage.

Scene 2 - Tank Crew of 3 women and the single man.  Witty banter. Characters established.

Scene 3 - Bad Ass receives an unvocalized call.  Changes direction.

Scene 4 - Man drags himself across the plains, gets radio confirmation from Tank.  He is saved!

Scene 5 - Firefight with bandits.  Tank Commander killed.  Pilot gets in tank.  Goin home!

Scene 6 - Bad ass hears gun fight.  Picks up pace.

Scene 7 - Tank busts a tread. Witty and panicked banter.

Scene 8 - Bandits attack! Tanks crew fires back.

Scene 9 - Bad ass begins killing bandits.   Crew misintripts actions; thinks he's a roid and gets in the tank.

Scene 10 - Bad ass starts to vocalize that he is here to help.  Tank crew can't here.  Turns tank gun and obliterates a shocked bad ass.

Act 3 - On their own!

Scene 1 - Crew welds the treads in fire fight.

Scene 2 - Tank is on the role! Runs over a few bandits. Crush.

Scene 3 - Mine! Tank is blown to hell.  Blackness.

Scene 4 - Bad ass isn't dead! Picks them up and saves them, grumbling.

Scene 5 - Hospital.  One tank and pilot alive.  Mourning.

Scene 6 - Supplies was luxury goods for commanders buddy.  Pilot goes fruitloops.  Bad ass punches Commander.

"You'll pay for this!"

"No I won't.  I quit."
