'The Fear and Desire for the Strange' Script outline










Audience Feedback comments:

'' I like the overall script however I wouldn't like to see the line- ''it all began when...'' as that's quite cheesy and it would put me off seeing a film if it sounded too unoriginal''.

''I really like the idea of a mix of music in order to suit the build up, I think that may come across really effectively''.

''The part about using video blogs sounds really good because it would be an element of modern technology that teenagers especially will be able to relate to and is a really interesting idea to include it in a film trailer''.



This is a basic outline to what we will film in the process of making our film trailer. The foundation of the storyline, characters and locations are stated and we found this extremely useful as a guideline when we began filming.

Script Outline:

Jay Dee: Hi... Its Jay Dee... 
I can't explain what's happening to me... 
It happens at school... I don't know where it's coming from... 
I feel as though I'm going crazy...''
''I was in Nina's body... I was in her... I was her...''

We have chosen to keep the script/ voice over minimal to compliment our simple theme ( alike those found in UK indie film trailers). We structured the ending statement from Jay Dee to read- ''I was in Nina's body... I was in her... I was her''.
Significantly Jay is the main character and we therefore chose for him to say all the diagetic sounds in the trailer so the audience can associate his role in the trailer to the main role in the actual film. Also from feedback from class members, a student said that our original idea of Jay's dialogue was too childish and predictable and would put off many people (''It all began...). Therefore we changed his lines completely to suit the edgy drama that we wanted to portray and comments of the new script have been a lot more positive.
