= SCENE: The Nomadic Yeren
||= **SHOT** ||= **VIDEO** ||= **AUDIO** ||
||= 1 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Shots of the wasteland, many of them wide-shots showing the empty expanses.[[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** Of course, not everybody lives in Settlements. What are their lives like? And how do they survive in the wasteland? ||
||= 2 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** A low shot, close to the ground, like the ones that precede it. Then, yeren legs step into the frame, and the yeren caravan walks away from the camera. [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** There are many nomads that wander the wastelands. Some do it for survival, some do it for adventure, and some do it because it's part of a rich cultural tradition. ||
||= 3 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** A distant shot of Nitro and Sebastian walking alone, tiny specks in the distance of the wasteland. [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** Some travel alone, doing what they must to survive, independent of the help of others. ||
||= 4 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Contrasting close shots of yeren at a meal, talking and enjoying each other's company. [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** But it turns out forgoing township doesn't always mean forsaking community. Certainly not for the yeren population. ||
||= 5 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Various shots of the yeren traveling and interacting with us.  [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** The yeren, while they have a tendency towards self-isolation, are a peaceful nomadic culture with vibrant traditions and a welcoming and empathetic attitude. ||
||= 6 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Footage of the skeleton we found  [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** And truly, who can blame their isolation when the sins of humanity's past still mark the present existence?  ||
||= 7 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Footage of the elder tending to yeren at dinner.[[/span]] || **__Elder:__** The yeren spent many years as the dominant species on this planet, and then spent many more living in the shadows of another, more domineering species, hoping for a chance to return. Now we live in a world where the very concept of a dominent species makes littles sense. ||
||= 8 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__Talking Head:__** The elder answers the questions. [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** The history of the yeren is the history of this planet. And our traditions plan to make it so that we will continue to carry on sharing this history with others. ||
||= 9 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Footage of the elder interacting with Nitro and Sebastian [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** Perhaps in sharing this difficult past, we can create a brighter future. ||
||= 10 || [[span class="gabi"]]**__B-Roll:__** Footage of yeren singing a song together. Gradually, they invite us into the group and teach us to sing.  [[/span]] || **__V.O.:__** Maybe one day, yeren and the descendants of man will live in harmony alongside each other. ||

= **Conversation between Gabi and Mio**
@@@@
[[span class="gabi"]]For the record, I remain unconvinced this needs to be transcribed at all. What are the odds it makes it into the doc?[[/span]]
@@@@
[[span class="gabi"]]//Two young women, __MIO__ and __GABI__ (for once on camera) sit in front of a small fire and talk to each other.//[[/span]]
@@@@
__Gabi:__ So. I've been thinking about the documentary.
@@@@
__Mio:__ Me too.
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Something about it seems...
@@@@
__Both:__ Off?
@@@@
//They laugh.//
__Gabi:__ It feels... strange.
@@@@
__Mio:__ I know what you mean. I tried to transcribe Nitro's whole translator ritual earlier and it was just real... weird. Like I couldn't quite get a fix on what was happening in the video.
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Not even that, just... the vibe of how this is coming together?
@@@@
__Mio:__ Yeah. I think our premise was off. As a result a lot of what we planned and what we have feels--
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Exploitative?
@@@@
__Mio:__ Exactly. Like we had this grand idea of venturing into the dangerous wasteland but... I don't know, it hasn't been like that.
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Yes! Which sucks because I think we've gotten some great shots.
@@@@
__Mio:__ Right? Ugh. I don't know what to do. Do we stop? Do we see it through? I just... ugh.
@@@@
__Gabi:__ ...Maybe we change direction. Find a new story.
@@@@
__Mio:__ How?
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Well, this was supposed to be a footage for us and Nightflower, right? About the big scary outside world and what it's like. What if instead of making it for us we make it __about__ us?
@@@@
__Mio:__ About us?
@@@@
__Gabi:__ I mean, yeah. A story of two young women exploring the world outside their home and coming back changed is more compelling than an encyclopedia of that world, don't you think?
@@@@
__Mio:__ Does that fix the problem though?
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Framing is going to be everything. We're going to have to save the previous parts in the edit. Make it so it's not just us gawking at the strange world, but learning from it. While also not implying that it exists solely so we may learn from it. If that makes any sort of sense.
@@@@
__Mio:__ And... you're comfortable appearing on camera?
@@@@
__Gabi:__ I mean... I don't __love__ it. But I think we have something special here. We just need to, you know, pivot. And from there... who knows?
@@@@
__Mio:__ You think it will work?
@@@@
__Gabi:__ I think we have to try at least. I think we have to keep going. Otherwise why did we leave? What are we doing here? What can we learn out here that we couldn't learn in Nightflower?
@@@@
__Mio:__ I feel like I've learned so much I couldn't have learned there. About the world. About me.
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Me too.
@@@@
__Mio:__ I'm glad you're here with me.
@@@@
__Gabi:__ Me too.
