Scripting

Scene 1

Azlyn appears by herself, the sounds of digging filling the silence surrounding her in the forest. This will be edited in itself to appear louder than the natural sounds which may be done by either enhancing the audio or recording digging by itself and adding it over.

Scene 2

Mother

No words are leaving her mouth throughout the scene as only her breathing and panting is heard. Additionally, the scene will also have sounds of footsteps and static from technology within Azlyn’s room.

Scene 3

This scene will be silent as only suspenseful music alongside the diegetic sound of breathing will be heard in order to emphasise the danger of the villain.

Scene 4

Friend 1

“Hey, you’re the girl that writes those scary stories online! They’re really good.”

Friend 2

“Why don’t you come have lunch with us?”

Azlyn

“Sure! Thank you.”

Scene 5

The scene will be filled with silence as the only audible noise will be the sound bridge of diegetic school chatter slowly fading out from the previous scene. Azlyn will be shown silent, typing on her laptop and her phone shows message she is unable to see but the audience can.

Scene 6

Azlyn again appears silent while she watches the screen of her computer, there is a lack of noise save the diegetic sound of her using the laptop and the non-diegetic track playing which will add suspense and create an atmosphere for audiences to understand something is wrong.

 Scene 7

Azlyn

 “[Under her breath, to herself] What the hell...There’s so many...”

Scene 8

With the slow start of suspenseful music playing once Azlyn reads her email, the audience will be able to hear her breath quickening in fear of what the email means. The lack of script will further emphasise a troubled atmosphere for the audience as they see the email.

Scene 9

There will be no background audio playing as the scene will be dead silent to focus on the contents of the shot. As Azlyn wakes up, the audience will hear the diegetic noise of her moving about and scratching her arms before she sees the cuts and scratches.

Scene 10

Specialist/Friend

“Just go to sleep as normal, I’ll be here looking over you all night. Don’t worry about it! Goodnight!”

Scene 11

Due to the villain appearing once again and as the trailer is progressing further to show the chaos happening around the main character, the music will be fast and of a high-pitch to further frighten yet excite the viewers. The music will also imply something is going to happen as Azlyn’s twin walks closer.

Scene 12

The diegetic sounds of the protagonist screaming to herself in a mental breakdown paired with the devices being slammed or closed down will add to the destruction of the equilibrium. Furthermore, to connect the significance of technology, we will also use a dial tone in the back to emphasise the power of her phone.

Scene 13

Azlyn

“[Staring down at her phone in alarm, panicked speaking although of a low pitch] You...You can’t get rid of me?”

Scene 14

Azlyn

“[Powerful voice to emphasise willingness to combat conflict, typing on her phone] You don’t scare me anymore, I will get rid of you.”

Scene 15

With the trailer coming close to its climax, the music will be fast and will mirror the sound of heartbeats as the protagonist will be breathing heavily; appearing to close her eyes and trying to calm down. Although the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are different, it will be done to present the danger Azlyn is in.

Scene 16

As Azlyn is holding her phone, the chosen weapon of this trailer, glitching sounds will be used to show the danger the main character is in. With the villain close behind her, although upbeat fearful music will be used, the scene will be focused on her breathing and with a short fade to black, a flicker of her arms with blood on them and a scream will appear to scare the audience.
