Dystopian Trailer: The Script

So far, my group has a finalized draft of our script. The premise of our trailer is the story of a society in which the government distributes food aid to the poor, disabled, sick, and unemployed. These people are placed under constant surveillance, and if their conditions do not improve, the government puts poison in the food aid in order to eventually eradicate all those who are keeping society from being perfect. In our trailer, we will have a nurse who disributes food aid, but does not realize that the food she is giving out is poisonous. She then meets a girl whose parents perished after consuming the government's food aid. Together, they work to expose the system.

Within our trailer, we will emphasize dystopian elements primarily through dialogue from our actual scenes and possibly voiceovers. We have a total of fourteen scenes in our trailer. Although it sounds like a lot of scenes, some of them are only a couple of seconds long. The structure of our trailer is chronological. Events will be placed in the order they would be placed in if our trailer was made into an actual film, except the ending, of course. Overall, my group is happy with our finalized script. We will begin filming this weekend.
