Planning - Narration over my trailer

The Woman in Black

Over the trailer for 'The Woman in Black' a small poem is narrated, revealing a short version of what the film is going to be like:

During afternoon tea there's a shift in the air,
A bone trembling chill that tells you she's there

There are those who believe that the whole town in cursed
But the house in the marsh, is by far the worst

What she wants is unknown, but she always comes back
The specter of darkness, the woman in black.

Again I really like the idea of this, as it reveals a little bit of what the film is going to be about but not giving away any of the story line. Once I have finished putting my trailer together I may try and write a poem to go over the top of the trailer and make the little girl who dies in film say it to make the whole trailer seem a lot scarier.


The Lovely Bones

The trailer starts showing the girl happy with her family and friends before she died, with her narrating:

"My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Suzie. I was 14 years old, when I was murdered. On December 6th, 1973"

It then goes on showing what her family do once they find out that she has been murdered but there is no evidence on anyone who the murderer could be. Her family get 'messages' from Suzie, from a different 'world' trying to tell her family who killed her and get justice for her death. She then narrates:

"I wasn't gone, I was alive in my own perfect world. But in my heart, I knew it wasn't perfect. My murderer still haunts me.
My father had the pieces, but he couldn't make them fit. I waited for justice. Justice did not come.
Don't be afraid"

Again I like this idea a lot, as it makes the whole trailer seem a lot scarier. I would use the little girl who gets killer to narrate over the top. I will try and think of something similar that could go over the trailer once I have finished.
