Story Board;


We have constructed a story board so that we could gain a rough outline of what we wanted for our trailer. We used paint to create the story board which was quick and efficient, so that we could get on with our work but still have a sufficient over view of the story line for our trailer. It is the bare minimum of our trailer, so we have a basis to work around.

The trailer will begin with he funeral of the woman's husband, with her crying over the grave. This will immediately open questions when the audience see the trailer, as they wonder who's the funeral is and what significance this has to the story.

We then see in the trailer, that he woman has had a baby, and the audience realise that her husband had most likely passed away, as a soldier hat was at the grave, while she was pregnant. However, still unsure about what is happening precisely, to keep the audience on edge and want to find out what will happen.

We then see a clip of the baby dead, in a cot, this is to make the audience suspicious about the death, and feel for the woman who has just had her baby. 

Next in the trailer we see who the film distributor is, this is to advertise the production company and the film, which is commonly seen in film trailers, making our trailer fit in with the customs of trailers.

Then, it goes into a clip of the woman's dream, it shows a blurred figure killing the baby/about to with a pillow, the image is not too clear, keeping the audience suspicious.

It changes to the police, which the audience will assume is because someone murdered her baby, making it dramatic and exciting for the viewers.

We then see the names of the main actors which is also common in film trailers. This advertises the film, if there are actors in a film which the audience like, they will be more persuaded to watch the film. Another feature which makes our trailer more realistic.

We then flash back to the dream of the woman, and this time the figure is more clear, and we can tell it is a woman, this adds to the confusion and makes the viewers intrigued to know who the figure is and why they are killing the baby.

It then goes on to say 'from the makers of Distorted' this represents us as being the makers of this trailer, as we created 'Distorted' for our AS project. This is yet another popular tool which is used within film trailers, if the public enjoyed other films which was produced by the same people they will probably want to see more of them.

We next see a close up of the woman's eyes, as she looks stressed and the audience wonder why, then the door slams behind her locking her in a psychiatric ward.
