Initial Teaser Trailer Ideas.

One of our initial ideas for our teaser trailer was to base it on terrorism which is theme still relevant today, to make it unique we looked at internet terrorism and therefore hacking groups. We researched different hacking groups Hacking Groups. It was interesting to see they started blogs and created logos and posters.


Hacking Groups

The CCC describes itself as "a galactic community of life forms, independent of age, sex, race or societal orientation, which strives across borders for freedom of information...."
