Script

We decided that in order to make our trailer seem more mysterious and suspenseful we would include almost no diegetic speech and use non-diegetic sound such as music and sound effects to create the tension. This would make the trailer catch the attention of our demographic by intriguing the audience and connote the feeling of the unknown, and make the visuals the main focus. However, we felt that it was necessary to have some speech because we didn't want it to seem boring, therefore short voiceovers of the characters are included. Before filming, we planned a rough script to work around:

(film production logo fading to black)

(cut to Holly)

Holly: *crying & looking scared*
          "Weird things have been happening to me"

(montage of scenes of Holly looking happy, with friends)

(cut to black screen)

Amy (voiceover): "What do you mean?"

(fast-pace montage of 'bad things' happening to Holly & friends)

(cut to black screen)

(film title)

(institutional information)

Holly: *same footage of Holly as previously*
           *whispering* "Help me"
