The idea of this is to help gain an understanding of the story in its basic form before going on to the script. It helps introduce each character, each environment and just makes the story easy to understand. A pre-script in a way. I thought it'd be cool to give each scene a name, even if it doesn't have any relevance in the film. It basically breaks the film down in to key segments.
SCENE 1: LORE
-The Scene opens with ASH’s narration:
-This describes the world briefly; that it is dying and few trees remain.
-The opening also introduces THE DARK WARRIOR.
-THE DARK WARRIOR begins by cutting in to a tree in a desolate land.
-From the tree’s “wound” THE DARK WARRIOR saps a form of energy (shown as an otherworldly glow).
-ASH’s narration provides a brief introduction to THE DARK WARRIOR, who he is and why he does what he does. The intention her is to help the audience understand that THE DARK WARRIOR is not necessarily evil, but just trying to survive.
-ASH’s spirit appears in response to this threat. He sees this and quickly flees towards THE SETTLEMENT.
-ASH’s narration makes it clear that THE DARK WARRIOR is set on destroying THE GREAT TREE, so ASH must warn LILY.
