Script.

We decided as a group that our trailer would be better if it didn't have much speech in it like most horror trailers. However, because we are having a voice over in the first half of the trailer, we needed to write a script for it.


Below is out first script we wrote. I think that considering it is our first one, it's pretty good. We will most likely be using this one for the first half of our trailer.

Script  - Voice Over

Interviewer:   So, tell us what happened… (Opening scene - in interviewing room)

Survivor:   We were just planning a camping trip, it was a nice weekend. It was just a bit of fun (Scene 1 – in classroom)

We were so excited, we went there all the time, it was like a routine (scene 2 – in car, on the way to ‘forest’)

Just us four getting drunk and sitting by the fire, and Matt with his stupid ghost stories (saddened laugh) (scene 3 – BBQ, setting up tents, laughing, torch under Matt’s face)

(Pause)

But this time wasn’t like every other time…This time was different… ( Black screen whilst this is being said).

I've put what you will see on the screen whilst these lines are being said in brackets so it's easier to imagine what's going on if you were to read it without seeing the trailer.

We've estimated that our script should be roughly 45 - 60 seconds. Our whole trailer once put together should be roughly 2 minutes and 20 seconds. After doing our research, we thought that this would be a reasonable time because it's not too short that it risks being a teaser trailer but it's not over 3 minutes long so it's not too tedious because we wouldn't want people getting bored but we want people to be able to see enough of the trailer to make them go and watch it if it were a real film.
