Scene 6/7

The refined backgrounds show a zooming shot. No sound is present so the scene remains grey.

A portrait mid shot for panning down to the sewers.

Scene 16

Wide shot of buildings. Windows marked out for a composite of sound/colour.

Scene 26

Another sound rich shot. Character to be composited in

Scene 2

More establishing shots for compositing.

Propoganda for opening scenes

This use of vandalism and word play is one of the concepts I have considered in showing the change of societal narrative in the film. The first image represents state control. The second, a radical changing of the message which is communicated.

Another word play is:

24 Hour Surveillance  -  24 Hour Subservience

Since there is no spoken word in the film, items like propaganda will aid the message of the film, establishing the dystopia in the film and the changed attitudes at the end. I was inspired by Adam Curtis v Massive Attack as it too uses big text with haunting undertones.

The second video has text that reads:

 ‘NOW IT’S YOUR WORLD [...] YOU ARE AT THE CENTRE OF EVERYTHING [...] IN THE PAST POLITICIANS WANTED TO CHANGE THINGS [...] INCLUDING YOU [...] THE NEW SYSTEM LISTENS TO YOU, OBSERVES YOU, UNDERSTANDS YOU, AND GIVES YOU WHAT IT KNOWS YOU WANT’

This is a good example of some dangerous concepts of state control and societal compliance that are valuable to feed into the narrative. Text is a good way to explore this.
