Chapter 9: Trailer Outline Pt.1

What's up! In this posting I'll share the outline I made for the appealing trailer.

Appealing Trailer: Showing the reliance and the euphoric escape the group gets when they get together.


First 20-30 seconds: The group having a chill conversation about what they should do. “We should bla bla bla” “Nah I think we should bla bla bla” “How about…” The character pulls out car keys from behind their back.

After stating the last idea, include a variety of shots that show them coming to a shared consensus. With an overlapping VO.

[VO: We’re always looking for an escape]


Cut to the group running out of a house stealing one of their parents cars.

[VO: Anything to just forget about reality]


About 20 seconds: Montage of them after stealing the car driving, blasting music, etc.

[VO: Sometimes we don’t have very bright ideas]


A couple seconds of faded parents yelling at one of the characters. The character however is zoned out, seemingly used to and not phased by this. 

A couple seconds of another character blacked out and someone scared trying to shake them awake. 

A couple seconds of the third character, in the bathroom, obviously distressed, staring at the mirror and writing can be seen “Days Clean: *insert tally marks*”


[VO: But anything works right?]

Last few seconds: Show the car parking, them hopping a fence. And then a small montage of them night swimming. During the montage you hear the VO.

[VO: Even if it’s just for a few moments]


Fin?


As I film I'll probably change some things but for now this is what I came up with, but that's all for this post so bye for now!
