I’m going to be researching for 2 science fiction scripts; one for a murder/mystery and the other for my futuristic law enforcement.
The murder/mystery one will be a five paged script. I have a rough idea how it will play out. It will set in the present day.
The futuristic law enforcement will be a lot longer. Of course, being an newbie to Small Press Comics makes it a lot less likely that they will consider my script. Still, I will write it up and put into my portfolio.
My research will include watching a lot of sci-fi films and reading sci-fi books. Top of my research list is watching Blade Runner and reading the Forever War trilogy by Joe Haldeman. I never read it before but I saw some good reviews.
I will re-read some of Philip K. Dick books. Last time I read Philip’s book , it was “A Scanner Darkly” and that was a good few years ago.
