What I learned doing this assignment is the more planning you do before writing the script the better your script will be.
My concept: A group of social misfits who are tired of being bullied conjure a vengeance demon.
The dying pattern: As the demon starts picking off the bullies, the group starts to have doubts about what they are doing.
My characters: An introvert- Part of the social group who seeks revenge for unknown reasons
The moral one: who is the first of the group to doubt what they are doing?
A love interest that becomes a sacrificial lamb.
