Some of you already know, but for those of you who don't, I've been working on my creative writing recently. I'm currently in the middle of writting two wannabe movie scripts (one comedy/horror and the other a drama). I'm still kind of new to writing something other than an essay (I was an awesome essay writer in high school) so I'm grateful for any and all input I can get. My two scripts are, as of now, unfinished. Hopefully I will finish with at least one of them sometime this month, but for now I figured I would share with everybody the first piece of creative writing I actually finished.
A few months ago the band Senses Fail announced a contest they were holding, in which fans would write a treatment for a music video, and they would pick one of the entries to shoot. Seeing as though Senses Fail is one of my favorite bands, and I knew a music video treatment would be fairly quick and easy to write, I decided to give it a shot. I knew I wouldn't win, but I wasn't really doing it to win. So I set forth to write a video treatment for the song "The Priest and the Matador" off the band's latest release
Still Searching. I was rather pleased with the result and, so far, those that have read it enjoyed it also.
Now I was going to post my treatment for "The Priest and the Matador" in this blog because I would like to get any input/creative criticism I can get, but I didn't want to take the time to reformat the whole thing. So instead,
Here's a link to the PDF file. Do keep in mind though, that this was meant to be a music video, so it definitely helps to know the song. So I posted it below as well. Oh, and I named a few characters just for easy reference, they don't symbolize any specific person, except Buddy, who is the lead singer of Senses Fail. Enjoy...I hope.
