Revised Script

From the storyboard and notes we have made, Steph has created the revised script for the actors and actresses featuring in our trailer. 

I have changed the script slightly by adding in shot plans and lighting ideas that we will need to include when filming. For example, Low key lighting will need to be used to show the audience that there is a negative feel to what is going on (for example when Susanna is tied up in the chair). Shot Plans are different to this, as they focus more on how to portray the characters. For example, when the camera is at a high angle shot, looking down on Susanna, it emphasizes how little power she has due to the situation.
