FADE IN:

1 EXT. PATH IN FOREST (CHICAGO) - DAY 1


A man is seen running down a narrow forest path and can be heard breathing heavily. He seems agitated as he begins to slow to catch his breath. Suddenly from the shadows a figure leaps out, the scene cuts prior to contact between the two being made.

LT. KENNETH (V.O)
Keep him alive! He’s the only one in this god damn country this can work on.

4 INT. A IN A HOSPITAL LIKE BED/ ROOM (CHICAGO) - DAY 4

We see A waking up in hospital, as he brings his arm up to rub his eyes we see the nanotech arm. A opens his eyes to see the new arm and freezes, staring at the arm in horror and bewilderment.

A (V.O)
But one day that all changed.

5 INT. MAFIA HIDEOUT (CHICAGO) – NIGHT 5

Over the shoulder shot of A looking at the mafia boss and crime lord Don DeVici. A is talking to Don DeVici about making a deal to get out of the city.

DON DEVICI
So you want outta here,eh? Ill make you a deal.
Your FREEDOM for your arm.

A
Deal

A leaves the room and heads out of the building.

DON DEVICI
Boys, you know what to do. I want him dead!

6 EXT. MAFIA HIDEOUT (CHICAGO) – NIGHT 6

As A leaves he finds himself surrounded by Don DeVici’s men. We hear them load their guns. The scene keeps fading in and out to the sound of a heart beat before all sound stops and we see a black screen. We hear A scream in pain then as the footage fades back in the gun fire begins, a quickly stands up from his crouching position and we see that A now has a shield in place of his arm with bullets reflecting off.



7 EXT. IN A FOREST (CHICAGO) – DAY 7

A, LT Kenneth and Don DeVici can be seen fighting with swords. We hear the noise of the swords hitting each other as the fight progresses and also the sound of the participants of the fight grunting aggressively.



8 EXT. IN AN ALLEY WAY (CHICAGO) - DAY 8

A, can be seen shooting a laser beam down an alley way. We hear the noise of the laser beam rushing down the alley, as it nears towards the camera.


9 INT. BAR (CHICAGO) - NIGHT 9

Hector can be heard talking to A about how A can escape and get back to his family
in Portland, Oregon.

HECTOR
If you want to escape, you have to trust me.


A
I guess I have no choice.

10 EXT. FIELD (CHICAGO) - DAY 10

A can be seen conversing with Lt Kenneth, they are discussing A’s purpose and his past. Both are out of breath from fighting and Lt. Kenneth’s blade is covered in blood. The scene is done subtly to hide the fact that Don DeVici is dead.

LT KENNETH
You can’t escape your fate, you’re military property, we created you!

A
My path is for me to choose and no body else, I won’t let you get in my way.

The scene fades out and the freedom title comes in.

SUPER: Freedom title screen.


END.

Due to the evolving nature of filming our trailer some parts of the script were changed as we filmed. Although the script did help massively while we were shooting the trailer as we knew what was supposed to be happening and what was going to be said during each scene.

Camera Maps

These are our camera maps that we produced prior to filming our trailer. It helped us as we knew what angles to use before we went out there to minimize the time we would have to spend sorting out camera positions enabling us to have more time to spend on getting the shots we need.
