Above is the outline script of our teaser trailer, we decided to write up a script to help us focus on the task we had, along with the script and our storyboard we believe we can get all the shots necessary for our trailer to be complete. You can clearly see from looking at our script there is very little speech in our teaser trailer, however what we do have is a voice over, along with the voice over we are using inserts to help portray our idea.

The majority of the shots we are going to be using are long shots, we decided on long shots because it would allow us to see our protagonist along with the surroundings and in a horror movie surrounding are vital, we want our audience to see the settings so it can set the scene. However in the bedroom we have decided to use a lot of close ups, focusing on the face. By focusing on the face the audience will see the make-up used but also our characters facial expressions.

Although we have written a script as well as drawing our storyboard we are almost certain a few changes will be made before everything is complete.
