Brief Storyline

Here is brief outline of how we will try and make our trailer pan out to be. Naturally due to different circumstances it will not come out exact as it is on paper as new ideas shall arise as we continue to shoot the scenes for the teaser trailer.

·         Opening shot shows how they first meet in a cafe. She works in there and he goes in to buy a coffee and they look into each other’s eyes and immediately fall in love.

·         Cuts showing them two together, walking through woods. Seen in a shopping area, having a coffee in the winter.

·         He tells her how he feels and finds out she feels the same way.

·         Cut to him getting his grades AAB and then to his parents saying he has to go to university. They have an argument begin to shout and throw stuff around. He is disappointed that he is going university but parents are overwhelmed.

·         Cuts to the couple going for a walk and he tells her along the way, they agree to stay together and say not to worry about it yet. It rains so they both run to the park and hide under the slide. They look at each other and kiss.

·         He says he will come and visit but never does, 3-4 months later and he’s back for Christmas.

·         He goes to see her but she is with someone else. The couple meet and he explains that he           couldn’t get away as he had so much work to do and that he wanted too and she says she weren’t waiting around forever. He explains how he tried to contact her every day.

·         He leaves angry and punches the walls and objects on his departure.

·         She begins to cry, after sitting and crying runs out of the house.

·         Then loads of cuts showing them crying together and not together, showing various different emotions leaving the audience in suspense.

Timeline

Voice Over

As part of our film trailer we decided that we wanted to use a voice over to act as an additional voice so that it wasn’t the actors talking the whole time. To do this we used a recording device. We then had to find the right sort of voice for our trailer. The first step was deciding whether it should be male or female and after much discussion a female voice was chosen. We needed the voice to be sad as this is what we thought would best suit our trailer. We then put into imovie and had to edit bits which did not sound professional enough to be used in the trailer. The script read:

It's like you're screaming but no one can hear.

You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important, that without them,

You feel like nothing can save you.

No one will ever understand how much it hurts.

You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you.

And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good.

However we did not want the whole script to be read at one point of the trailer as it is too long so we broke it up as above and separated it throughout the trailer where we thought it work well with what the scene is showing.

One of our main actors in our film was under the age of 18 so we felt it only appropriate that we asked her parents permission that they know what the recording is for coursework purposes. We did this in a letter to her parents and in this letter we included a contract which is proof that they allowed their child to be recorded and if they did not wash for their daughter to be in the film then they simply did not have to reply. Here is a version of the letter we sent them.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear ……..

I am writing to ask for your permission to use your daughter as one of the main actors in our trailer for our media coursework. Below is a contract which is proof that you willingly accepted your daughter to be recorded for a school coursework purpose.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I                           give permission for the recording of my daughter to be allowed for school coursework only. I know that this is proof I have been asked permission and understand it is for a school coursework purpose/.
