so far in my screenplay, LEON (the main character) has awakened to find himself captured by a group of National Guardsmen who have become highwaymen. After escaping them, he finds a group of people that were sent out to find supplies for a military base (appropriately named Fort Romero). The leader of the group does not seem interested in inviting Leon to join their little scouting party. So Leon warns him not to head west, which is where the Raiders are camped. The leader ignores his advice.
Now, this is where I need some help. I want to keep the story fast and entertaining in order to not bore the viewer (this is going on youtube after all).
I have two ideas of what can happen next. One, Leon finds a safehouse, and soon afterwards lets in what is left of the scouting team (after the leader did not heed Leon's warning and was attacked by the raiders). This leads to an arguement and a changing of leaders. TWO. The scouting team is captured by the raiders, and Leon is contacted by Fort Romero and asked to rescue them (Leon was an agent for the President before the zombie apocalypse).
I don't know which one would be better in terms of keeping the story moving fast, gripping, and entertaining, and need your advice!
