Our plot-line revolves around a website that has been set up by an extremist party which seeks to overthrow the UK government. The website seeks to control and gain power over UK citizens in order to create a civilian force against the government.
Our plot aims to explore the powers of the internet over society and question the possibilities of manipulation of the consumer online. We would like to include aspects of social networking, for example Twitter and YouTube, as well as looking in depth at the idea of free speech on the internet.
We have looked at films such as Blade Runner and iRobot to gain a fuller understanding of the portrayal of technology in thrillers, as well as Nineteen-Eighty Four to develop our ideas surrounding psychological control.
We aim to explore the dystopian genre, as well as that of the thriller and have decided to produce a trailer for a film that follows the conventions of these genres.

We have decided to use one of a group of friends as a protagonist, and a leader of an extremist party to fulfil the role of antagonist. The protagonist, a teenage girl, does not succumb to the control of the party, and throughout the film she would attempt to save her friends and society from the party.
