SHORT STORY SYNOPSIS

Act 1: We begin our story with a brief opening text describing our story world. The dome we have our story in is the United states one. From there we follow our main character, a mid twenties man working inside the dome. His job consists of him driving old wall panels of the dome and disposing of them outside in the cold. It's clear from the beginning he is not respected both because of his low job ranking with the company, or the fact that he's young. This characters name is Aaron and our first act will come to an end when he leaves the dome for a deposal run. This first act is the only time we are inside the Dome.

Act 2: Wile this main character is on his way back from his disposal run, the vehicle he is driving pops a tire. Wile he is out repairing the vehicle, he is kidnaped by a group of outsiders. Our character is knocked out and wakes up tied and in a dark room. He is being questioned by these outsiders and almost killed until one of the outsiders recognizes Aaron and claims to have lived in the same neighborhood as him when they were kids, post dome. They untie Aaron and this outsiders gives him a tour of what life is like outside the dome and how society has continued to prosper. With this current world they live in, the sun no longer provides enough heat for a safe and normal life style. This has caused those no weathtly enough to live inside the dome to live indoors and create a new world. The outside world still provides oxygen but inside these new buildings they've created, fans provides oxygen wile small artificial heat and light sources keep society warm. Aaron is shown all of this, he had no idea this world existed and can not help but feel grief. The second act will end when Aaron is brought to the office of the man who is in charge if these inside worlds.

Act 3: Aaron is brought the man in charge, and he tells him about the resistance he is trying to build. These outside worlds are to small for the growing population. The dome reminds these outsides of a constant reminder of how unfortunate they are. The dome mocks them in a sense and they find it unfair how the rich contuse to life normally wile they hold on for survival every day. The man in charge believes Aaron could be of great use to them with their resistance because of his knowledge prior working and live inside the dome. Aaron is persuaded and they begin their attack. The film will end with Aaron returning to the Dome hiding a group of outsiders inside his work vehicle.

GENRE: Sci fi, post apocalyptic, action, drame

His family for wealthy enough to buy their way into the new world but his heart is turned when he is kidnapped by a group of outsiders.

Antagonist: The Dome. The story begins with these outsiders as our main conflict but with a change of heart Aaron agrees with the outsiders when they find the dome as their main conflict.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS:

William, 25 years old. He lives outside the dome and saves Aaaron from death when he recognizes who he is. The two were childhood friends post dome. William is one of the many faces of the resistance forming to over throw the dome and it's society.

Greg, 49 years old. He is one of the faces in charge of the inside worlds the outsiders have created. He is leading the resistance and convinces aaron that him joining them is for the good. He finds the dome as a constant mock from the wealthy. Greg could have afforded life inside the dome but finds it cruel and wishes to expand the technology.

Additional Comprehension: The short film is just to introduce the story world created. It takes place almost twenty years after the domes were created. We show very little of life inside the dome and more about the life outside the dome.

Medium/Platform: Short Film

Why we choice this platform: We feel using the small budget for a short film we could briefly introduce our story world and could potentially grow further interested in others and create a demand for us to expand. We find this as a great platform to use for further producers to want to invest in possibly a feature length film or TV series.
