I reviewed the trailer ideas and shots that I had posted about in another blog and I've made some additions.
I've finally come up with the names for the characters. The older sister's name is Azlynn Vanderbilt and the younger sister's name is Aurora Vanderbilt. This trailer is going to be from the younger sister's perspective, Aurora. She's going to be giving background information on her older sister, Azlynn. The purpose of this trailer is to inform the audience of who Azlynn is and the criminal activity that she's involved in.
I'm not a fan of drawing storyboards. I'm a visual learner but drawing doesn't really help me, descriptive words do. Instead of using a traditional storyboard, I used words to describe exactly what shots I want to be paired with the words of the voiceover. I used the same method for last year's project. I color-coded the words from the script with its shot descriptions. This method is a lot more effective for me because I can visually see and read exactly what actions I imagined happening during the trailer are. This method also helps me during the production and filming aspect because I have laid out every shot that needs to be filmed.
Here is the official storyboard for the first trailer of my film:
TRAILER 1: Voiceover Script
SCRIPT
Meet Azlynn. She was varsity cheer captain, prom and homecoming queen,
valedictorian of her high school graduating class, and she’s my sister.

But she didn’t start scheming men out of their monetary possessions after the death of
our parents, It started off in elementary school. Taking little boy’s toys, taking
their lunches, then taking their lunch money. Then as she got older, it escalated to expensive pieces of jewelry, cars, money, and businesses. She has more bank accounts
than I can keep up with.
