Plot Synopsis
A depressed student finds a mysterious book hidden for centuries. Through his grief, he devotes himself to the study of the book, containing the secrets of Alchemy, Wizardry and the dark arts. His mind becomes controlled by the book and his dreams are intercepted by a mysterious symbol. Fixated, he summons upon ‘the angels’ to help him in his search for freedom and himself. However, they are not under his control. As the holder of the book it is now his mission to save the human race before The Angels destroy his family and the world!
But unfortunately, when filming and editing our trailer, we found that the idea's we had for our movie and what we wanted to shoot, were becoming more and more difficult for us to get the desired result. So after sitting down and evaluating our story, we had to modify the plot to become a thriller, instead of a fantasy thriller. thus making it easier for us to achieve a final result.
Modified Plot:
Daniel Jones, starts to loose sense of his reality after having bad dreams, of symbols and men in suits for months. Soon after he receives information from an anonymous source, telling him that the men he's been dreaming about are after him. But as time takes overs and his dreams become worse. Daniel soon starts to question, what is real and what is a dream. He soon has to decide what is right. And what will save his life.
Music Track
These two websites are from where we've sound some music we would like to use in our Trailer. However, these are only ideas of the kind of thing we would like. we have been unable to find the perfect songs just yet. We are going to continue looking for our music, we are struggling though because all the music we would love to have is copyrighted and we are unable to use it.
Script for Dialogue/ Voice over
Original Script:
Kyle : I was normal once That was before. Before, I discovered the truth. Before i discovered my destiny. Before the book
Dave: It must never be found, not even by the chosen one. Human kind is not ready for this kind of power.
Kyle: I keep having these dreams. I think this symbol means something
Dave: You don’t know what you’re dealing with boy, this dark dark magic
Toby: You can’t do this!
Kyle: I resealed them, I have to destroy them
Toby: But no one can stop them!
Kyle: I don’t have a choice
James: (Voice over) Daniel, Listen to me. You have to escape
James: (Voice over) These symbol's will capture your mind. Do not let them take you Daniel
As you can see there is a lot less dialogue, this is because we decided to use the dialogue as a voiceover and have titiles throughout the trailer explaining more about the film. The voiceover we decided to use more for ambiguity than story telling.

Above is the shot list for our new trailer. Unfortunately we couldn't create a anamiatic for this because most of the ideas for shots were created in filming. This was after we had to change our first idea to a different genre. Although we did use some of the same shots that we used in the first idea.
Risk Assessment
Letters Of Permission
Seeing as we will be filming in areas we know well, such as our houses and around school. We didn't really need any written permission. We informed the teachers where and when we would be filming and let them know with a weeks notice. This is so the teachers would know where we'd be. Our houses were simpler to get permission for all we'd need is a simple yes or no from our parents.
Location Details and Photos
My House - This is where best part of the filming would take place
Kennerdy Ave, - Where most of the running and outdoor shots will be taken
Forest - Where the running and falling shot will be taken
Unfortunately i was unable to upload pictures because of technical difficulties with the laptop.
