Research and Planning - Script Ideas


I am analysing 'Prisoners' trailer (2013) for the dialogue/script they use. We found many similarities when watching this trailer, so by using this as an example we will be able to easily produce the script for our trailer.

At the very start of the trailer (and what seems to run throughout) the dialogue plays over multiple scenes shown on screen before returning back to the scene the dialogue originally belongs. I really like this idea, as it means we can show more scenes, showing off our cinematography as well as the ability to edit and adjust the sound so it is heard in other places. An example of this is when one of the main characters (Hugh Jackman) is shouting for his children, but the footage shown is him searching in multiple areas. This creates more of a panicked atmosphere compared to if it showed him shouting for his children in just one location. Another feature of the script I like is how the characters only say ket things that are important to the narrative that the audience would need to understand (the basic content/context of the film). This would be very effective as that way it comes off as being more mysterious.
