My Horror Trailer Script


Using Todorov's theory of narrative. 

Scene 1: Equilibrium
Candice and Sarah in bedroom- painting nails. Couple of words said and laughter. To ease/comfort audience. Medium shot.

Scene 2: Moment of disequilibrium
Long shot to establish the scene. 'Stalker/Killer' possibly behind a tree watching the girls walk.
Then the girls are walking through the quiet part of town.
‘Did you hear about George?’     (jump cuts throughout)

‘Did you just hear that?’ Sarah (Dannii) turns around with camera- Point of View shot. As she turns around someone quickly walks past at the end of the street.
The girls speed up. (music speeds up, intensifies)

Killer’s room filled with photos of girls- Candice and Sarah circled in red marker
Camera shows all photos, zooms in particular photo of the 2 girls.

Sarah’s phone rings (music stops as phone rings)
Candice is grabbed (killer’s point of view- canted angle when he grabs her)
Then the shot of the killer’s hand around Candice’s mouth (muffles- music stops, canted angle shows unstableness/terror)

Scene 3:
Scene 4: Sarah is chased; hides behind bush and car (heavy panting/breathing)
Loud scream at the end (blackness) 

Period of disequilibrium: release date & coming soon.
