Dystopian Trailers (Pre-Production)

These are the directions for what we are doing in class during period 1 on Friday and periods 2 and 4 on Monday.
  1. Complete the project proposal for Ms. Fillman (Brainstorming Session)
  2. Set up your group's shared Google Doc (Invite Mr. Mayo and Ms. Fillman)
Have fun writing your scripts. Be creative and try to think outside of the box. Use an idea from one of the trailers you've watched recently. Complete your rough draft on your group's shared Google Doc using the two column format. Don't overthink the rough draft, just get it done! That's the first step. Once you complete your rough draft you can go back and edit and revise to get it just right.

A Few Tips as you plan your trailer:
  • Keep the story simple with a clear Beginning (inciting incident), Middle (Rising Action) and End (but the end is obviously not revealed!)
  • Create a story and setting that you can actually shoot
If possible, do a reconnaissance of potential locations- take digital pics if you do!
  • Keep different locations to a minimum as you create your story
  • Try to be as simple and clear as possible
Use THESE DIRECTIONS for setting up your Google Docs. Make sure you invite every member of your group and Ms. Fillman and Mr. Mayo to your Google Doc.
