Dystopian Script Process

    As the script comes along I can start to picture the trailer in my mind. Although It still needs some work to build on detail, I feel that it has good potential and we will have a dramatic sequence of clips. We have set it up to initially explain the destruction of nuclear war. It then describes the society of the surviving land and how the dictator, Coltrane, keeps his power. Then the catalyst comes in and it slows down a bit. Once the catalyst is introduced the remainder of the trailer is very fast paced with quick cuts and text slides until the final scene where it slows again.
   The trailer has six scenes including both dialogue and voice overs. Dystopian elements can be seen through Coltrane's speech, the use of propaganda posters and the use of guards and surveillance throughout the scenes. The story line is clear as the premise is set up followed by the protagonists struggles, then action scenes showing how he will disrupt the system. Overall I feel that our script could use a tad more cleaning up but it is just about ready to be shot.
