To break our trailer up, we will edit a character's voiceover as another layer over shots of Alcott Manor (Polesden Lacey). By doing this, it shows our knowledge of using Adobe Premiere Elements and adds another filming style to our trailer.
We have tried several different ways of filming this, such as in a conversational tone, but we feel that it would be better simply as a descriptive voiceover, informing both the characters and the viewers.
The main things we need to include in this voiceover are the rumour, the location and what supposedly happened. We have taken inspiration from the thriller film The Woman in Black (2012), in which a young, female voice recites a poem throughout the entire trailer. We aim to do a similar thing, except the voiceover will be said over the shots of the fictional Alcott Manor and will not last the entire duration of our teaser trailer. The script will be in an informative style instead of in a poetic form.
Before the image swtiches to Polesden Lacey, the actor (Ana) asks the thee friends (Hannah, Charlotte and Hannah) "have you heard the rumour about Alcott Manor?" To which they reply they haven't.
The voiceover: Rumour has it, the young girl died in a bathtub, her wrists sliced until she bled out. No one was around for miles and she was found three days later, her skin stained red, neck deep in blood. Now, her soul is vengeful and she haunts the grounds. Every few years, a young girl dies in the exact bathtub left outside.
Following the clip and voiceover, it will cut back to the character played by Ana and she will simply say "I dare you to stay there".
