Structure

TV Show:

  • Series/ show type:
    • 1-hour streaming drama
    • NEW - fictional docu-series
    • NEW - genre: real fiction
  • Scene types:
    • Present time scenes utilize a traditional docu-drama style filming format
    • Past time scenes utilize a mild vintage filter to indicate past
    • Future scenes utilize a bright vibrant filter with virtual world effects to indicate future
    • Mind/ thought scenes transition from camera shots zooming in on the thoughtful characters head
    • Internet connection scenes are filmed as if the two are imagined communicating together in person; always transitioned to and back from - computer/ device screens
  • Alien world:
    • Distant view:
      • Quite similar to Earth
      • Just continents of different shapes and relative placement
    • Local wilderness views:
      • Much
      • Many birds/ animals/ insects/ etc
    • Local community view:
      • Everything is very clean and pristine.
      • No litter or waste
      • Everything manicured neatly
      • Electric / rail transportation vehicles
    • Alien beings:
      • TBD by production team
      • Do they look exactly like humans or do they look like what humans traditionally think they look like?
        • We're leaning toward exact or close to exact, but with some clear distinctions:
          • All are mostly viewed as happy.
          • All are mostly viewed as healthy.
          • All are mostly viewed as helpful to others.
          • Picking up accidental litter.
          • Painting fences.
          • Weeding gardens.
  • Human world:
    • TBD - How do we handle the Spanish vs. English reality of the Nina vs. 'the alien' communications?
      • We do not want to use subtitles. Too hard on audience.
      • Do we just do in English, but the Nina actress has a Spanish accent?
    • We want to contrast the two present worlds - all the time using the reality of today’s human world.
      • So much bad in our present human world.
    • Do we ever show the future human world or do we just show the present alien world to indicate what the future human world might be like?
