Today i completed my script for the trailer.
In the trailer i wanted to introduce to the audience briefly what characters are involved in the film, and create an initial impression for them. However, i dont want to reveal too much of the plot, and only give brief glimsps, finally, i want to end the trailer at a climax where the audience is left to find out what is going to happen.
My trailer starts by building up the cahracters background, here i suggest that she is a nice girl and also very likable, however i end with the narrator saying " but she wanted more", to set a more serious tone to the film.
AFter that, the trailer gives hints that the character is changing, and in order to create a suspense, i chose to end the trailer with a cliff hanger. Where the phone is unanswered, instead a voice machine is heard. to add the tense mood of the shot, i have chosen to black out the shot right before the line, tehrefore alienating the audience, and creating a sense of mysteriousness. Also, the ending will be ambigious we dont know what the last line " sorry the number you have dialled is temporarily unavailable" applies. Whether to his friends or to the modelling agent.

Final Film Script 20th September
After meeting up with the Cinematography, we nearly completed the film script, except for a few scenes which we need to discuss with the editor.
We had some difficulties with completing the script, even though the plot of the storyline had been figured out, there were many important details that needed to be filled in. After considering the difficulties of constructing some shots.
I.e In the first scene, creating a dreamlike sequences of the character on a catwalk. We realised that this would be very difficult as it would be difficult to find a suitable location, and also the dark atmosphere would be hard to film using the current cameras. Furthermore, the scene would need to be heavily edited to create the dreamlike sequence. instead we altered the storyline, after some discussion, as the director, i decided that we would try and emulate a different feel in the scene, and that we will be trying to reveal a nicer, and kinder side of the character instead of suggesting that she is spoilt and hungry for success.
