Revised synopsis

This synopsis is slightly edited, based on the new version of the film and the changed relationship between Lily and Rose.

La’Ter is a dying world, with forests disappearing overnight and tribes dying out every day. Lily, a mother to be, lives in this world. Lily awakens from a dream of her late husband, Ash, who had given his life to defend his tribe. In the dream, he warned Lily of the approaching Dark Warrior, who intends to sap the energy from the last tree standing between the tribe and destruction. Though his actions are only taken out of a fight for survival, Lily cannot allow The Dark Warrior destroy The Great Tree. She sets out to stop him. On her way, Lily is spotted by Rose, her dear sister. Rose attempts to stop Lily, but she is too late. Lily arrives at The Great Tree, where she witnesses Ash attempting to defend the tree from The Dark Warrior. There, Lily gives up her physical body and becomes a tree spirit. Once in this state Lily is able to create another tree with the help of Ash that encases The Dark Warrior. Rose arrives at the scene. At the base of the new tree Rose finds a baby, Lily’s baby; Hope. Ash and Lily’s spirits appear before Rose, telling her that they will protect The Great Tree and requesting that Rose cares for the child. Rose vows to care for Hope, and to pass down the legend of Ash and Lily. They say their final goodbyes before Ash and Lily fade away.

Only a slight change.

I've done a bit of work on the script too and planned out shots. At the moment the shot total stands at 58, which gives me an average shot length of 3.1 seconds (you can either choose to believe I'm good at maths, or I used a calculator...). Might need to cut that down a bit!
