As I am producing a horror teaser trailer it will not feature a vast amount of speech particuarly towards the end of the trailer, however I have made a script for the speech which will be featured in the trailer. This is the original script in which I would have given to the original characters.
The group of friends named Rebecca, Jasmine, Abbey, Sophie and Ellie have all received their A-Level results at college.
Lizzie: (Whilst jumping up and down with excitement) I'm so happy, I never thought i'd do that well!
Ellie: (Smiling) I can't believe it!
All: (Cheering and laughing)
Lizzie: Lets celebrate tonight!
The group of friends are heading into the woods.
Lizzie: (After taking a swig from a bottle) Lets make tonight a night to remember!
Lizzie has received an unusual text
Jodie: What's the matter with you?
Lizzie: (Wary voice) Umm...er nothing...just some idiot who thinks they're funny
The girls are fairly drunk and getting into the party spirit
All: (Laughing and shouting)
Lizzie and Holly seperate from the group
Lizzie: Urgh, how annoying! (Waving her phone in the air, attempting to find a signal)
Ellie: Come on, we'll try and find a signal elsewhere
Lizzie is alone and frightened in the heart of the woods
Lizzie: (heavy breathing and crying)
Lizzie is alone in her bathroom
Lizzie: (confused and shaken) W...what is happening to me!
Screams are heard throughout the fast pace editing shots at the end of the trailer.
Lizzie is being chased through the wood
Lizzie: (Shouting) Please no!

Original Prop list

- Envelopes and paper (To represent the exam results)
Location list
We are going to use Cropton Park to replicate the woodland area in which Ellie will be walking to when travelling to college and home. Cropton Park has a well hidden forest like area which i think is ideal to use for the location of our trailer.
Elisha Sparkes' house will be used to replicate the bedroom scene in which Ellie is followed up by her stalker, our reasons for this is that Elisha's bedroom is located in the attic therefore the lighting and look is ideal for the character.
Both of these locations were going to be used in the original plot also.

Cast list
I have decided to add what each individual character would bring to the trailer, the original cast list would have featured:
Jodie Braithwaite - Jodie would have played the outgoing character in the group, from research I have come to realise that there is always a strong, confident individual who often makes the decisions!
Elizabeth Morgan - Elizabeth would have played the 'geeky' friend, who is fairly quiet however makes valid points when needed.
Kaylee Murphy - The loyal friend, I have noticed that in many horror films there is a character who is the friend who always plays safely.
Holly Robinson - As i am blonde haired, I would have played the stereotypical 'dumb blonde' member in the friendship group. This would have featured myself being killed off first, as this would have been viewed as stereotypically correct.
Both Elisha Stewart and Hannah Mason I would have used to make up numbers in the group, as they would have made the group look strong and all good friends.
The stalker will not be revealed! As this is a teaser trailer I think this adds extra tension and suspense to the trailer, the stalker will be created by the use of point of view shots.
However as I have adjusted the plot of my trailer to just one main character better known as Ellie who will be played by myself Holly Robinson, this will be the only character featured in the trailer.
Ellie will be featured having blonde hair so that it projects to the audience her stereotypical image of being naive, my reasons for choosing my main character to have these characteristics is that by analysing other horror genre trailers and also by watching several horror films many of the leading characters are blonde and they are perceived in this way, therefore I have put these ideas into use for my final production.
