TRAILER: Initial Idea for the Trailer Script

KEY:  Movie extract        Voiceover          Sound effect
Beginning Version 1:
When a DVD of a film/a package arrives at her door,(sound of DVD passing through the letter box) from an unknown sender, Rebecca Lucky discovers that this was no ordinary DVD.....
This film was more than just a movie......
...It was her life sentence.
“What do you think is going to happen- they’re dead!” - Bob (followed by a scary sound effect associated with the killer in the movie)
Beginning Version 2:
There was a knock on the door (knock)
Nothing but a DVD was found (wind blows)
But Rebecca Lucky discovers that this was no ordinary DVD.....
"Oh no, oh no" - Rebecca
"Bob where are you" - Rebecca (dull thud)
"Kevin comeback" - Rebecca (foot steps)
This film was more than just a movie......
“What do you think is going to happen-they're dead!” - Bob (followed by a scary sound effect associated with the killer in the movie)
“It’s not funny where are you” - Rebecca
...it was here life sentence. (eerie music)
But is running really enough when your lost and alone (scary ambient sound in the background)
"Where’s Amber she’s supposed to be here?" - Rebecca
"Rebecca are you feeling lucky?" - Amber
"Ahhhhhhh!" - Rebecca .......(silence)
So.. do YOU feel lucky... in cinemas Friday the 13th of July....[name of film said in a scary way] [Tag-line]

This is the initial script that me and my partner Anika put together. We decided to incorporate a lot of dialogue from the movie in order to allow characters in the film to tell the story and mirror what the narrator is saying. Additionally we wanted to provide the viewer with a more intense experience when listening to the trailer and allow them to create an image of what is going on using the sound extracts from the film.
