From script to screen - Step Outline
I am struggling with the step outline but this is what I have so far:
Italics - Sound
Normal text - Camera movements
Characters:
Hugo Brantly - Surgeon who likes to steal pieces of his patient's brain
Lewis Drager - Doctor who thinks Drager is up to something and is trying to stop him while in surgery
Patient - Being operated on
Location:
Surgery room - Where the operation is taking place
Hospital corridor - Where Drager jogs down while opening doors, trying to find Brantly
Object:
Brain - working like a battery inside the body, Brantly needs pieces of the brain
