My group's script for the trailer "The Condemned" is progressing well, as we've gotten rid of many extraneous scenes. We started out with almost 4 scenes involving dialogue between the same characters. Through editing, we've gotten rid of many of them and shortened our movie-esque trailer into a trailer-esque trailer. 
Some of the elements of a dystopia our script incorporates are: 
  • Propaganda is used to control the citizens of the society - Leia is confused by Cade's talk that the world is far from perfect, and says that she doesn't know what to think.  
  • Fear of the outside world/Natural world banished/mistrusted -In the narration, Leia talks about how they're told there's not a world out there, and we see archival footage of a mushroom cloud explosion.  
  • Citizens live in a dehumanized state - In the narration, Leia talks about how some people are taken away and killed if they don't score high enough on the test. We have several shots of people being taken away, and a mother hugging her son goodbye.   
  • Citizens conform to uniform expectations - This is shown by having all the citizens wearing the same uniform: gray shirts and black bottoms. 
We're using voiceover and sound from the actual scene. There are 6 total scenes on our script. We first learn about Leia's world and her relationship with Cade. Then, we see her nightmare about losing her brother. We then learn that Cade's not satisfied with their world and that some teachers rig the scores. Then Cade and Leia search through the files on the top floor, and are chased by guards. Leia finally escapes into the field.
