Narrative Structure for Teaser Trailer

This post will include details of storyboarding, scripting, the mise-en-scene, the setting and the props. Therefore covering the whole planning phase of the teaser trailer, so that we can begin to film after this.

The images below were taken by me to show that I have done my storyboarding and scripting in great detail.

This is a picture of one of our storyboarding sheets, this particular one was our second draft.

This is additional storyboarding, this was also our second draft.

The image shows our opening scene, where the car is heading towards the child but the child remains unaware of the threat.

This is our second shot where the camera will give point-of-view shots of the perspectives of the driver and the child.

Our third shot shows the child has been killed in the car accident, and the camera will track away from the scene to show the devastation 

Our fourth shot shows the killer being pushed into a bin by an unseen force, which later turns out to be the ghost of the child, who lusts for revenge.

The fifth shot will be of the killer having a wash in the bathroom and when he looks up into the mirror the child's face will appear, the camera angle will be directly over the killers shoulder so it seems from his perspective.

The sixth shot will be of objects being moved around the killers house when he is not looking which will freak him out and make him paranoid, it will be done as when the killer leaves the room something will be moved to a different place.

The closing scene will be left on a suspenseful cliffhanger, where the killer is being dragged across the floor by the ghost , the camera angle will be a close-up of the killer to start and will remain stationary throughout the shot.

This is final planning for the four main scenes, which required extra planning as they were more challenging to do. Things  such as settings, props, costumes, dialogue and sound have been considered and planned in further detail.
