Traveling

Today I am leaving for Mexico, I am actually writing this quite early so I can get this posting in before my early morning flight. Last night I was able to get close to finishing the summary for In The Back of Beyond but I am having trouble figuring out a resolution for it. What Taylor and I agreed on is that we would take the weekend to come up with ideas/inspirations for the resolution. This is better because it shouldn't be something that is forced and rushed. Here is what I came up with so far for the summary:

The main character, Alex, is living his normal life in rural America. He is living his normal life and is doing his typical daily activities. Alex is in a different dimension where the government can only watch its people, but when it wants to listen it tunes in, making an unbearable sound. As Alex is doing his normal activities the government all of a sudden, for the first time, tunes in to listen and everyone clutches at their ear for a short period. Minutes later it happens again, for a short period. As Alex returns to his car, the government is able to successfully connect to the alternate dimension and listen in. As this happens, Alex’s radio starts to play. When Alex gets home he sees a hidden camera which is used by the government to watch in on Alex.

We will be adding some more stuff to this summary and then work on the detailed outline, script, and storyboard. This summary is the base work for the entire short film, so we'll definitely get it done by the next week so we leave enough time for the rest of pre-planning. It's also important we get this done ASAP because we also need time to find props, talent, and finish location scouting for our March 2nd filming day.
