We thought that by constructing a script it would make it easier for the people appearing in our trailer too learn their words and their stage directions. Although, we do not have many spoken lines in our trailer, there are many things which need to be noted. I have put in 'editing notes' so that they can gather a feel for the trailer and know how to act at these points and also to remind us where we need to add certain features during the editing process. There are also directions for the person who is in charge of filming and holding the camera at that point, so that they know which angle/camera movement will be used and also so that the people playing the characters know what kind of position they need to be in at that point.

Normally there wouldn't be a script specifically for a film trailer, as a film trailer usually consists of parts of the film which has previously been filmed. But, as we are not creating the whole film and only the trailer, we would need a script.
