Layout/script for teaser trailer

Below I have included my layout/script for my teaser trailer. I have included any text I want to appear, voiceovers/dialogue, credits, name of stars, logos and web addresses. 

-Start of trailer: Time Warner and Ghost House pictures production logos





-Establishing shots of park, set the scene and position the audience with the overall tone. 
-Introduce the couple:
Demi Crook playing the girlfriend
Cali Nice playing the current boyfriend

-Include a voice over for the boyfriends proposal: 

'We've been together for two years now'
Pause
'There's something i've wanted to ask you for a while'
Pause
'But I didn't have the confidence until now'
Pause
'Will you marry me?'

-Cut to a shot introducing the antagonist: Tyler Kingston playing the psycho ex stalker 

-Use sound effects from BBC's sound effects library of a camera taking photographs 

-Include first tagline: 'from the writers of Gone Girl'
Add in an impact sound 

-Create a more sinister tone to the trailer via including darker music

-Include a voiceover to notify the audience that the boyfriend is aware something bad is going to happen: "Are you alright?" "You haven't been yourself lately"

-Include a voice over to enhance the sensation of how terrified the girlfriend is of her ex boyfriend:

"Something's not quite right here"
"It's almost like someones haunting me"
"I feel as though my past is catching up with me somehow"

"Im scared" 

"Hello" - include this voice over in the shot where she nervously picks up her phone to an unknown number of her ex calling

-Voice over of physco ex on the phone to her: "Remember me?" "The man you left"

-Change of music to song for montage: Finishing the job - John Ottman
This song has a much faster, upbeat tempo to match the fast paced editing

-"It's my ex boyfriend, I think he's stalking me"
-Include voice over to highlight boyfriends shocked response: "WHAT"
Medium close up of him furiously standing up at the table, when she tells him

-Tagline: ALL IS FAIR 

-Include shots to evidence the danger the couple is in 
e.g. medium long shot of ex boyfriend watching them through their window
Close up of him looking through the letter box 

-Tagline: IN LOVE

-Close up of exboyfriend while he says: "she's mine."

-Tagline: AND DEATH

-Medium shot of boyfriend lying on the floor dead

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own.  Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land  2) Spider Man  3) Insidious 2  4) Hangover 2  5) The Notebook 

Magazine cover analysis introduction

After looking at the conventions of movie posters, I will now do the exact same, but for film magazine covers. Both film magazines I will be looking at are aimed at different audience and will both be for different front covers from a different film magazine. In terms of design and layout, I will be able to see if both film magazines share the same conventions.  Below are the two film magazine covers I will be analysing:

list of tools I used in software
