Script Alteration 2

After looking at out first rough cut we decided to move the second line of dialogue to the middle of the trailer just before the pace increases. We did this as we felt like there was nothing linking the beginning and end of the trailer. By doing this the audience is kept engaged and the suspense of the story is kept high. It also allows the audience to make more sense of the trailer.

Script Alteration

Tuesday 10 As a group we have decided to add another line of dialogue to the end of our trailer, we feel that by having a line of dialogue at the beginning of the teaser trailer and then again at the end it act as a sort of frame to the trailer. At the beginning of our trailer Katie May is seen saying: "Have you ever loved someone so much you'd do anything to have them?" The line of dialogue we have added is: "...well I did.." Having this line appearing at the end of our trailer concludes what Katie May is saying at the beginning and leave the viewers wanting to know the story behind it.

These include: The missing poster on a tree, photos scattered on the floor, taking drugs, girls reaching for a knife, a character holding a rope/chain, a necklace in someones hand.

-We plan to film all the scenes that only include the main character played by Emily.
These include: Emily falling over, turning her head, drinking vodka, a close up of her eye, emily being interviewed, emily smoking, emily holding a necklace and then putting it on, emily spinning with the camera.
Session Three
-We plan to film the rest of the scenes that include all three characters played by Emily, Frankie and James.
These include: James running, James jumping off a platform, a birds eye view of james, Frankie and James around college, James giving Frankie a necklace, Frankie trying to escape from a locked room, Frankie tied to a chair, a close up of Frankies face, close up of James.
