Hi Candice :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think you're going to struggle to establish all the rules of your world + the boy's back-story in your 60 secs. Also, while I absolutely love the idea of the society system in which stilts = status, it's such a 'BIG' idea, that it feels like it needs more 'time' in your story - more emphasis. There's a lovely tone to your story idea, but I honestly think it's a little too nuanced for the format - put simply, I'm not sure your audience will be quite able to grasp it all in the time.
The big idea in this version is the 'stilts = status' idea - and I think you should make this a much bigger part of how your story works. I don't think you need to 'explain' the idea - I think you could just assert your world - show poor people walking on the ground, and rich/professional people on stilts. This same logic might mean that the very richest people would be 'the highest' - i.e. 'in space' - a little bit like this set-up:

So - the poorest (working in factories) walking (and living) on the ground, amongst all the crap and the pollution and litter etc:

the richer people, walking (and living) on stilts - i.e. above the pollution cloud or whatever - and the super-rich, living high above the earth;
Maybe your story is about the factory worker getting into space - getting high up - (character vs society) somehow? It's got all the aspects of your original story, but I think the goal of your character might be more easily communicated to the audience - with the challenge of your ACT 1 being the set-up of the caste system of your world.
Hi Phil,
Deleteyea, it sounds more united and thank you for the referencing :)
