Dystopia Trailer Update

Hello again.

Our most recent project has been to create a trailer for our own "original" dystopia story.  I say original like that because every dystopia story ever written has the same plot.  Fact.

But back to the topic at hand.  So far, my group's script has been going swimmingly.  Since I have been awarded he prestigious title of scriptwriter in chief, it is my job and duty to inform the masses of what the script looks like so far.

We use the first few shots to depict the society in which the story takes place.  These are mainly long to medium shots of factory employees hard at work.  After that, we slowly take the time to introduce the rest of the dystopian elements present in the story.  We we also use a commercial for the miracle drug "Bonum" that the story is based around as a means of establishing the setting.

The story is told using as little narration as possible.  There is no text used, and the characters are barely heard talking at all.  The only time dialogue is used is in  a brief exchange between the two main characters, which serves as a means of increasing the tension.

We have about 8 to 10 scenes in our script.

Straight bawrse signing out.
