THE SCRIPT

Our teaser trailer footage is now complete and has been sequenced correctly using iMovie. We have also added in all our transitions and adjusted colour contrasting to make our trailer flow correctly. the final adjustment is to create the voice-over and input the recording over our trailer but at the same time we must match the recordings to the correct scenes. Below is the script that we have created that we think will help emphasise our trailer and help create gangster conventions. The voice-over helps to tell our story and gives describes each scene to prevent confusion for the audience. We have decided to use Johnny for the voice over because the stroyline is from his point of view. Below is the script for the voice-over:

"As far back as i can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster."
(used over the beginning lake scene)

"Mansion, beautiful wife... and the money."
(used over the mansion, wife and money scenes)

"With the money, come the problems."
(used over the first scene of Ben waking up in bed)

"When people owe me money, i expect it back... sharpish."
(used over the scene of Ben lighting a cigarette and the following scene of him checking his phone)

"Me and Mickey run a firm business, and we do not tolerate fuck-ups"
(used over the scene of Johnny and Mickey at the lake and the scenes of them getting out of the car)

"Noone has ever been stupid enough to double cross me."
(used over the beginning kidnapping scenes of Ben and Aaron creeping up on Ruby)

"and involving my family, could be life-threatening for them."
(used over the actual kidnapping scenes)

"Noone will ever double cross me and get away with it!"
(used over the final kidnapping scenes and the phonecall scenes between Ben and Johnny)

"Being a gangster is not just a job, it's a way of life..."
(used over the final movie scenes of Johnny and Mickey approaching Ben and Aaron with Ruby hostage)


Below is a quick analysis of the voice-over options provided by iMovie, I have simply identified to key aspects which allowed us to create and adjust our voice-over:
