Trailer #1 outline

 Hey blog! Soooo it's time to start creating the outline for my two trailers... very exciting!! 

First, I am going to explain the basic premise of the first trailer. (I have not yet decided what my exact outline of trailer #2 is so stay tuned!!!)

A high school girl struggles with severe anxiety, and she finally gets the urge to talk to a group of classmates, but her own thoughts begin to overwhelm her. The trailer will overall introduce the idea that her mind creates exaggerated fears that make simple social interactions feel impossible.

Trailer #1 Outline

1. Opening scene

• Establishing shot of school
• Wide shot of busy hallway 
• Mid shot of girl sitting alone in class.
• Close-up of pen tapping on desk

*Bell rings

 "Alright class it's lunchtime."

2. Intro of conflict

• Establishing shot of lunch area
• Girl notices group of people talking and laughing
• Close-up of foot tapping
• Girl considers approaching them
• Girl takes a few steps toward people

3. Anxiety builds

• Zoom-in to girl's face

*Muffled voices begin

*Heartbeat noise

*Heavy breathing

• Close-up of girl's face (nervous)

-Black Screen-

"I've been told that my thoughts are louder than reality."

4. Thoughts

(So for this part, I have not decided if I want to continue with the animation route, or if this will be actually filmed just with some sort of filter that makes the audience understand we are seeing what is going on inside the subject's mind.)

• Scribbles/chaotic visuals 
• People laughing
• Quick cuts between the real hallway and animated thoughts
• People judging

(Overall, this scene will exaggerate her fears, showing how sometimes anxiety exaggerates reality.)

5. "Peak" moment

• Girl finally reaches group
• Girl opens her mouth

-Fast paced shots begin to play while voiceover plays

^Worst possible scenarios 

*Voiceover: "Sometimes the loudest voice..." *pause* "...is the one inside your head."

(A sample of the voiceover: *click here*)

6. Title

(I am not completely sure if I will stick with this title, but it is just an idea)

In big letters: "Almost Spoke"
