Main Idea & Script...

This is the genre, storyline and the characters of my film. I had based my storyline on films that I had watched prior to starting this post, I didn't want to do the same genre film as last year as I wanted to challenge myself and do something different. I don't know if this idea will stay the same through out, but I think it's a good basis for my trailer. 

Genre: 

Drama/Romance/Fantasy

Characters:

Female protagonist (main) called Stephanie, Male character called Connor, lover to the main character, villains/family.

Storyline: 

A group of people arrive at a small town, little do they know these people are not actually humans, but aliens who have evolved to look like humans in order to reclaim their home planet and not look too suspicious. One of the human like aliens however, does not want to take part in this, and has a human conscious, he tries to undo what they have done when he can. On the other hand, a girl who has successfully escaped from these creatures, wanders a lone, desperate for help, until she sees him. Together, they work to save as many people as they can, they eventually fall in love, but get found out, he get's taken away, and she has a choice - Sacrifice the one she loves, or save the entire world?



This is the script for my trailer. I was able to work out the dialogue for my trailer due to storyboarding, I was able to picture my trailer and imagine how I want it to look, and the dialogue came to me. I still need to work out some of the character names, I have put some, but I might change them as I storyboard. 

Script for 'The Choice'

Characters:

Stephanie - Megan Phipps
Connor - Curtis West

Shot showing people moving, setting the scene, music is quiet so main character can be heard;

Voice Over: What if not everyone was human?

Movement within the scene is slowed/sped up, music is still quiet;

Voice Over: That they are more different then we realise?

Character is shown at this point by using a close up and the camera slowly zooms in, music is quietly building up;

Voice Over: What if there were others...

The characters are running, they are constantly looking behind them, they are scared, music starts to climax at this point;

Voice Over: What if you had to choose?

The two main characters move in close, both putting each others hands on each others face, music is soft & slow, the audience can tell that there is some chemistry between these two characters;

Voice Over: Between saving the one you loved...

Fight scene, the main female character is fighting off the creatures, music starts to build up again;

Voice Over: ...or saving the entire world?

Title screen comes on -
