Script

• After looking at various trailers of films within the social realism genre, I have realised that most of them use dialogue to help further entice their target audience. However, for my trailer I decided that it would be most effective if I don't embed any dialogue because I will therefore, be able to direct my viewers' main focus to the content of my trailer it self rather than what my featured characters will be saying. 

• As I have decided not to include dialogue, I will be able to use music and other forms of sound to my advantage as this will further help me build up suspense. An example of diegetic sound I would like to use is crying or a heart beat as these sounds could suggest that these sounds are coming from either the child or the protagonists themselves, which will also help build tension and help the trailer flow smoothly as these sounds complement and link with my narrative. I would also like to include the sound of laughter to include both sad and happy times that could be portrayed throughout my trailer. I think this will be effective as I will be able to control the sounds and record them as many times as needed in order to capture them the precise way I want to. As well as diegetic sound, I would like to include non-diegetic sound in the form of music (which will be non copyrighted pieces) to further help my trailer come together.

• Other than the sounds previously mentioned, which I will be able to control, I would also like to add some which are out of my control. These could include the natural sounds made by people in a shopping centre, I'm planning on doing this when I film in Birmingham. 

• Other than the points mentioned above, the main reason as to why I do not want to include any dialogue in my trailer is because I feel that it isn't really needed as I don't want to give anything away to my viewers. I especially think that through the body language and facial expressions of my characters/actors, my targeted audience will be able to get an idea of my narrative and will also be able to go through my characters' journey with them. I think that along with body language and facial expression, music and sounds in general will have a huge role in this as this will also enable my targeted audience to feel a variety of emotions as the music could either make them feel tense or sad. Lastly, I think that the intertitles that I am planning on including will also help the audience get an idea of what is going on or what will happen if the intentions of the footage it self may appear unclear for some of my viewers.
