Will
He wants to go back to the Wall and back to safety because he was terrified of what he saw, he is conflicted by Ser Waymar.
Gared
Understands Will's concern and sees that the job is done and they can return to the Wall, he too, is conflicted by Ser Waymar.
Ser Waymar
He wants the job to actually be done and keep his underlings in line as he is the leader of the group, he is conflicted by Will and Gared who want to return to the Wall, in the end he gets want he wants as he is in command.
Conclusion
Both Will and Gared want to go back to the wall for different reasons but both are conflicted by Ser Waymar who is their leader so both Will and Gared don't get and they want but they all die in the end. Ser Waymar won the small victory and got the others to stay and investigate, but for the long run he didn't so not even Ser Waymar gets want he wanted as he suffers the same fate as Gared, or at least it was strongly implied.
Quote Analysis
Game of Thrones Analysis
Style
The script is very descriptive. They is a huge chunk at the start that is devoted to describing the 3 characters and setting. The script is also very dark as it describes the gore much more effectively than The Walking Dead does. "Ser Waymar is gray-eyed and graceful, with an aristocrat’s air of command despite his youth. He wears a supple coat of gleaming black ringmail and a lush sable cloak."
Content
The opening of this script is more about the dangers of the forest than the 3 characters present since they all eventually die, Gared and Waymar much sooner than Will. After Gared and Waymar's demise than it moves onto the main cast of characters. "Snow drifts across the bodies of the fallen dead. Eight corpses lie frozen on the ground-- men, women and children, wearing heavy furs. The wind whips through their long hair"
Narrative Structure
Game of Thrones is a TV drama and the overarching problems and aspirations the characters face can take possibly an entire season to resolve or even not even be apparent until mid season.
Genre
Game of Thrones is classed as a Fantasy Adventure Drama series is this because the world of Game of Thrones is based off a series of books called "A Song of Ice and Fire" which is a fantasy adventure drama. Elements that indicate this series genre is the inclusion of things such as the setting doesn't exist and is set in the past that make it fantasy and it is a drama because of the the interaction between characters. "In the name of Robert of the House Baratheon, the First of his Name--"
Target Audience
Game of Thrones ideal target would be very much similar to The Walking Dead's target audience as in Late teenagers to Middle aged males (18-40 year olds), is this proven through the amount of adult language, gore, nudity, sexual adult themes.
The Walking Dead Analysis
Style
The script is quite similar to the Game of thrones script in that it's very descriptive. The entire first segment of the opening is dedicated for description, this builds up an atmosphere.
Content
The sequence is setup slowly in that you get introduced to the characters with their personal problems this shows their relationship. The sequence starts off very light, the conversation escalates into real problems, this conversation in some ways foresees the danger. It sets the mood.
Narrative Structure
Due to the fact it's TV show the overarching problems or aspirations of the characters aren't immediately apparent, instead they are spread across seasons or episodes and creates constant cliffhanger elements.
Genre
The Walking Dead's elements are indicative of the horror/drama genre. For example the atmosphere that is created with the music, carefully designed sets to simulate post apocalyptic setting.
Target Audience
The target audience is teenagers and young adults. The show is rated 18 and gets shown post watershed. The content in the show is very gory, graphic and has adult themes.
Differences
There is a lot more dialogue in The Walking Dead as compared to The Game of Thrones. The genre of both of these are similar but The Walking Dead is more focused on apocalyptic themes and Game of Thrones on Fantasy themes but both typically share the same idea of drama and adventure.
Crime Drama Mood Board
Crime Drama Brainstorm
The setting of the series shall be in city that is just about almost has a blanket of snow over it. The main character is female called Isabella Kensington (Izzy, Ivy, ecetera, ecetera) and is 19 years old is an student to one of the greatest Detectives of the 21st century, who unfortunately died when he found he was the victim.

During the last of season 1 is Ivy trying to reorganise the city of the huge crime spike after the mentors death, that even the police couldn't handle. To keep Ivy from suffering the same fate as her mentor, the police create an alias for Ivy, to the city as a detective, she doesn't exist, she is the police's secret weapon, their trump card, their ace in the hole. By the end of season 1 Ivy has become very experienced, she had the skills, just lacked the experience to back it up. By season 2 we have been full introduced to our main antagonist who is a mob boss is beginning to live in fear of this invisible force which is getting close to him, so he grows suspicious for a new detective that is out to get him, so focuses on finding out who this person is and putting an end to them like he did with the mentor. At the end of season 2 it ends at a cliffhanger when the mob boss finds out who the person is when he sees her at an abandoned warehouse so it's the two of them in an empty warehouse, after a lengthy conversation the mob boss draws a gun on Ivy says "About time you rejoined your mentor. I wonder if you die as easily as he did," and the episode ends and that is the season 2 finale.

Feedback on Script 1 "The Recruit"
Length: The length is good, but could be shortened, pace is good and keeps audience hooked.
Format: Stuck to the correct layout, but must number the scenes.
Structure: Good quick opening, the fade in and out aren't necessary. Include transitions. Good attention to detail.
Dialogue: it's good, interesting and sets the characters really well.
Grammar: Use of commas is not great, a few typos and use more full stops.
Task 3 D
A. What is the general series arc?
The general series arc for my series the main character Isabelle is an underling of one of the greatest Detective of the 21st century who is killed halfway through the first season and by the end of season 1 Isabella has become quite the successor to the mentor, since she has managed to put an end to a major crime wave that occurred after the mentor's death. The development of Isabella is becoming the Detective that surpasses her mentor and avenge the death of the mentor.
B. What is the episode arc?
The episodic arc for my series will have episodes that will teach the characters a major lesson from her mentor at the start of season 1. Even when Isabella becomes very experienced there is still much for her to learn.
C. What is the opening?
The opening to the season 1 pilot is a heated getaway chase with an exchange of gunfire, The mentor is hot on the tail of a fleeing vehicle that contains several criminals that have just attempted a heist on a bank, when it seems that the bank robbers are about to get away, a truck pulls out into the middle of the road and getaway driver slams hard on the brakes but the car still slams hard into the truck, but the truck stays still, immediately a swarm of police cars surrounds the getaway car and the robbers have no choice but to give up. After the criminals have been rounded up and arrested, The mentor approaches the truck's cab opens the door and reveals a young girl to be at the driver's seat and then the titles roll.

Script Feedback Review
From the two people who read my script, they were either being nice, or my script is actually quite good.
From their feedback I need to improve on the spelling punctuation and grammar, so I'll read it as closer as possible and change it.
The tone of the dialogue could be specified as well.
Personally I think that the hook could be improved a bit, made longer more detailed more action going on in it. Perhaps a shootout after the crash a bit of a fight between mentor and student vs the bank robbers just something more interesting before the titles roll and to make that the opening a bit longer.
Script Analysis 4
Marvel's Avengers Assemble (2012 film)
Style
The script isn't as descriptive as the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones scripts but quite a bit of detail. Detail is added to the scene as it goes on pretty much the script is light hearted and a few jokes are thrown in unlike the Walking Dead Script and the Game of Thrones script.
Content
The opening introduces to the main antagonist of this film and the main villain of the Avengers series though he is not actually introduced, he is just there, fanatics of Marvel Comics would instantly recognise who it is, newbies to the franchise may not. We aren't introduced to the protagonists until quite late on in the script it gives a sense of dread as we are introduced to the villains first.
Narrative Structure
Avengers Assemble is the first film of the Avengers series and thus mostly is used to introduce the Avengers themselves, some reoccurring characters, antagonists and the universe itself. The film is over 2 hours long and should have enough time to achieve this goal. But any problems that the characters face needs to be resolved before the end of the film.
Genre
Avengers Assemble is a Action, Adventure, Science Fiction film about a group of super heroes from the Marvel Comics Universe (some we have seen appear in their own films like Captain America, Thor and Iron Man). Elements that conclude to these genres include futuristic technology, space travel and aliens for the Science Fiction. Fight scenes and explosions for Action.
Target Audience
The target audience is early teenagers to middle aged men (12-35) is this because of the high octane action scenes that stereotypically would appeal to males a lot more than females. It is rated 12 because of the strong language and violence.
