While my graphic novel is in development, I've decided to revisit The Major and the Beetle, to try and complete the first draft. My main problem with the script was the beginning, which needed to establish the historical setting, without feeling too contrived or melodramatic. Unfortunately, I couldn't avoid the glossy Hollywood style opening, which was inappropriate for the material.
My attempted solution is a short prologue, similar to the opening scene of Argo, using stock footage and narration to establish the setting. I would love some feedback on this scene, so that I can decide whether it works, or whether I should experiment with alternative methods to set up the story.
