Dystopian Trailers
For my group I'm a scriptwriter. And I've got to say, I'm really enjoying the freedom that I'm permitted. They story is pretty interesting. I'm awesome. Get at me. But seriously, I guess I'll start following the prompt now. The script? It's progressing nicely. The story is pretty much set and we've got a lot of cool shots to boot. I mean it's got a lot of dystopian elements. I don't know why whenever I spell dystopian I get that squiggly red line. Not like I'm spelling it wrong. Alright, I'll try to be frank with describing the plot. Basically, it's about a society that's completely separated by class. The rich control the poor by implanting chips into their brains so they cannot see or hear anyone outside of their society. SO, the main plot line follows a boy who is born without a chip. Don't you dare say it's cliche. I think it's hip. Anyway, this boy travels to where the rich are located and wipes out the generator controlling the power of the chips and there's a huge fight against the poor and the rich. It includes the dystopian elements of civilians believing there to be a utopian society, some sort of tyrannical figure who looms over everyone else, a protagonist who tries to rebel against the power, that sort of thing. Seems kind of obvious. Is that it? But wait! There's more. Um, we've got voiceovers from the main characters, actual dialogue, and those title things! My, we're some overachievers aren't we. The story is pretty linear. With the type of characters we have I don't think it'll be too hard to follow. We've actually got a lot of scenes though. I think it's going to be under 2 minutes 30 seconds. Not as if they're long scenes. Just to give a broader picture of the story. Our script is still in progress. We've got stuff to do. But I think we're in a good position to execute and really get on track for filming and editing.
