Script
Having a script is very important to our trailer to create contant shots when we start editing and putting together all the shots. We decided we just want to have the killer saying a short monologue of him talking about his fitness and why he does the killing. It also helps the audience the sinister voice that we re trying to portray in our trailer. These short comments will be spread out throughout the trailer so that its breaks up the audio and not only feels more sinister, but it also ensures that the audience doesn't get bored listening to the same sound effects all the way through.
Commentary/voice over:
- Voice over:
- 20 Reps ...... 5 more minutes
- Then its your turn...
- Crushing the competition, purging the weak, that is my gift for perfection...
- Why do i do this...
Without using a script the trailer would not have been consistent and would not have helped to break up the shots and tension music throughout the trailer. Overall We feel without the voiceovers it would have felt a very long trailer and would begin to become boring. We wanted to use short voice overs so the trailer would be interesting and make sense with each shot shown.
We decided to take inspiration from different horror trailers and look at the way they use voice overs. One that we looked an detail was Sinister 2, which was released in 2015.

Here is the voice overs we found from this trailer. We found that there was a lot of conversations between two characters mainly adults and children to show you the overall discovery of the victim and killer throughout the trailer.
- Come on, lets go to bed.
- I don't want you boys watching that before bed.
- Ok, let's go, come on.
- It's not real mom.
- Do you believe in evil?
- Something Unworldly ?
- Yes !
- You don't stop evil you can only protect yourself from it.
- I'm worried about Dylan.
- Why?
- He's different.
- I have something to show you !
- There are references to ghouls across all cultures.
- Some believe that it fed over the corruption of innocence.
- There are always three things in common.
- Murdered Family.
- A House.
- Some form of offering.
- What did she say?
- Co-ordinates
- To Where?
- A Farm.
- Where an entire family way murdered!
- Nobody ever comes here
- That was terrible what happened.
- It's the kids, he gets the kids
- This one is mine.
- You're family is in danger.
- I won't let anything happen.
We decided for our trailer that we wanted to use a lot less voiceovers from this trailer because we felt that using too much dialogue would over crowd the trailer and make it seem like there was too much going at the same time. We wanted to create a message in our trailer for body image and if we used too much dialogue it would have blended with music and possibly make the trailer less interesting.
Our Voice Over Analysis
Voice over:
- 20 Reps ...... 5 more minutes
- Then its your turn...
- Crushing the competition, purging the weak, that is my gift for perfection...
- Why do i do this...
20 Reps ...... 5 more minutes, represented our message for body image and the obsession to be perfect in society and connotates the horror aspect of the killer being strong and powerful. But due to the trailer being from hetrodigetic point of view we could only under stand the trailer from the killers point of view.
Then its your turn, it represented our idea of the killer going after the victim and reflects that unbalance in a horror trailer of the killer and the victim being powerful than the other. It also showed a big of a future of what the killer will do next.
Crushing the competition, purging the weak, that is my gift for perfection, represented our message for body image and the obsession to be perfect in society and connotates the horror aspect of the killer being strong and powerful. It also represents that perception of a normal person becoming physiologically crazy and being obsessed with societies illusion of life.
Why do i do this, it represented our idea of the killer going after the victim but also directs the audience to the question and the audience can take it two different representations. One can be that hes pleading for help or he finds the chase of killing the victims fun and enjoyable.
