Script of teaser trailer

We wrote our script (dialogue and voice over) for our trailer before we went out filming; this therefore allowed us to change it if it was necessary. We then translated our script into Spanish, and our actors had to learn it. By using the Spanish language and including English subititles, it made our trailer unique.

In the opening of our trailer, we had our production company (Productio Gonzo) animation, with a soundtrack coming into identify our company.The sound of a jawharp was slected from Soundtrack to match our quiky film. Then the green screen of approval (used in in all trailers), which made our trailer be portrayed by the audience as if a real film coming soon. Followed by the opening shot split screen of a close up of the two main characters feets, contrasting their worlds. Adam as a bussiness man and Iva walking bare foot on grass. Fade into a close up of Iva (main character), this particular shot had a lot of head room, so we could add the subtitles into this particular shot. 'I believe in superstition, but I disagree with the one against black cats. Because whats the diffherence between a black cat and a white cat?'

Followed by the jumping shots from a long shot to a close up to identify the other main character Adam; the contrast between the two characters worked well as we paid close attention to little details for example props,make up and costume. We then faded into a wide handheld shot of a woods to set the scene. Faded into black and faded in an extreme close up of Iva's hand holding her medication, followed by a luminance map into her taking her pills. The lighting was low key, and this helped create a 'dark side' to her character. Another luminance map into an extreme close up of her eye whilst her pupil changed size. This shot was then reversed to give proper illusion of pupil change when mediacation is taken. Fade out to black and fade into a wide shot of the two characters sitting on the beach, the shot seems very peaceful and shows the connection between them. Over this shot, there was a voice over of Iva 'feels like I've known you forever!', which gives a window into the story and again reflects their connection. This is followed by an effect called box slide which continues into a mid shot of Iva on a bench blowing bubbles, we reversed this shot too which makes it quirky and effective shot as it helps to portray her personality. A hard cut then brings in the framed shot of the two characters holding hands and swinging them, this helps shows their happiness. Another luminance map cuts into the birdseye view shot of the couple lying on the beach; we filmed this in Brighton and I hung over the pier with the camera, it was very hard to keep it steady. Originally, we panned off into the sky, but the shot was too unsteady,so we used a freeze frame. We got the idea of this shot from the film Reqieum of a Dream, and they used a crane to do the shot, unfortunately we didn't have a crane, we had a pier and me, but the freeze frame works well. Its a shame that the panning off didn't work as well.

Followed by a canted mid shot of Adam,'I remember this' holding a childhood memorabilia of a teddy bear, and this gives an insight to the story line of a possible relation between the two. Another luminance map into the over the shoulder shot of the couple laughing together, which reflects their happiness. We found some graffiti in Brighton and filmed two shots there, a mid shot of Iva blowing bubbles and a long/wide shot of the two kissing. The colours in the mise en scene works really well and would work well for a poster or magazine cover. A hard cut into the over the shoulder reflects the jult in their relationship realising that something is wrong. 'Don't you understand that you're my sister?!' followed by the reaction over the should shot 'No I'm not!' We placed the subtitles in different places on the screen to help adapt to our genre of quirky Arthouse. Another hard cut to a long shot of Adam smashing a mirror to show his anger at the truth; he found a true connection with Iva, could it all be destroyed? We faded into the close up shot of the ground with the smashed pieces on the floor 'seven years bad luck' was also a voice over to show Iva's belief in superstition. Followed by a hard cut into a canted long shot of Iva being upset; and the final shot a close up of tears rolling down her cheek leaves a cliffhanger on the story. The titles 'Desire' and 'Coming soon' at the end writen using the font we chose before and downloaded.
