Drafting ideas:

The Host: NARRATOR:The Earth is at peace.There is no hunger.There is no violence.The environment is healed.Honesty, courtesy and kindnessare practiced by all.Our world has never been moreperfect.Only it isno longer our world.We've been invadedby an alien race.They occupy the bodiesof almost all humanbeings on the planet.The few humanswho have survivedare on the run. CYPHER (V.O.)

Hello?

TRINITY (V.O.)I'm inside. Anything to report?

CYPHER (V.O.)Let's see. Target left work at5:01 PM.

CYPHER (V.O.)He caught the northbound Howard line. Got off at Sheridan. Stopped at 7-11. Purchased six-pack of beer and a box of Captain Crunch. Returned home.

TRINITY (V.O.)All right, you're relieved. Usethe usual exit.

CYPHER (V.O.)Do you know when we're going to

This is the beginning monologue from the host, I chose to analyse this one as the plot is in keeping with my dystopian genre and I liked the idea of having a monologue to give a back story at the beginning. It also gives small insight into the main character. I find this one effective due to the short direct sentences giving the facts. The ending leads the audience into the first action scene.

make contact?

TRINITYSoon.

CYPHER (V.O.)Just between you and me, you don't believe it, do you? You don't believe this guy is the one?

TRINITY (V.O.)I think Morpheus believes he is.

CYPHER (V.O.)I know. But what about you?

TRINITY (V.O.)I think Morpheus knows things thatI don't.

CYPHER (V.O.)Yeah, but if he's wrong --

TRINITY (V.O.)

Did you hear that?

CYPHER (V.O.)Hear what?

TRINITY (V.O.)Are you sure this line is clean?

CYPHER (V.O.)Yeah, course I'm sure.

TRINITY (V.O.)I better go.

CYPHER (V.O.) Yeah. Right. See you on the other side.

I also wanted to use a phone call/interaction over a radio in my opening scene as it is effective to give direct information whilst linking shots to what it being said, it also gives mystery about the characters. I chose to analyse the phone call from the opening of The Matrix. In this phone call it is clear to the audience who has the dominance as immediately CYPHER is answering to TRINITY’s line of questioning. The conversation is also short and to the point giving minimum information to the audience, this is also an effective way to leave the audience wanting to know more.
