The concept for this sketch from which we planned and wrote out the week before was a culmination of our ideas to portray a distopian world as appears through a moment of foresight from one of our characters, however we did run into some hiccups in filming that may have hindered the portrayal of our full idea.

Unfortunately due to budget, time  and location restraints, we couldn’t put together a setting for this vision of a distopian world. We also had few actors on hand to fill up a classroom, and only a phone to film on. However, we managed to overcome these difficulties with tight shots, tight editing and a more ambiguous approach to the vision scene. Overall, I view it as a positive outcome as I think the sketch follows a coherent storyline and gets across our idea.

The concept of this trailer was born from my group’s in-class discussion surrounding possible consequences or escalations of modern issues regarding race and immigration.

My two group mates and I discussed these issues in regards to possible extreme consequences that might occur after 10 years, and 20 years into the future. Possible consequences that were mentioned includes racial wars, extreme segregation, class divides, controlled areas of inhabitants of different ethnicity, even bans on different types of food. This concept was discussed with the intent of having serious implications towards the future, until the prospect of Pauline Hanson submitting Australia under a dictatorship by the ‘One Nation’ party did we consider the humorous and absurdist potential of our new world.
