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"

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

-Include voice over to highlight boyfriends shocked response: "WHAT"
Medium close up of him furiously standing up at the table, when she tells him
