Scriptwriting.

After reading through the 'How to make films' handbook from the Guardian I have discovered some key aspects to scriptwriting. the first is:

Exposition: this is the opening premise and setting of the scene. This would be where we see the drug dealer and the two drug addicts in the car park. The words that the actors say will be key to getting the correct atmosphere in this shot.

Development: The situation is built on and moves forward. This is where the storyline develops and other sub stories may appear into the trailer. This may not apply to much to a trailer but some scenes will need to be developed on and this will be useful for these scenes.

Complication: An event that changes the situation. We will be seeing a jail cell in my trailer, this will represent that there has been a complication in the drug dealers plans. This scene could be the turning point in my trailer and may change the feeling and the locations.

Climax: A decisive point where everything comes together. This is something that should not be done in a trailer. My trailer is showing the audience various aspects of what would become the finished film. Giving away the climax would ruin the film. Although this could be done cleverly to give the audience a false idea of what the climax actually it. What the climax appears to be in the trailer could be the opposite in the final movie.

Resolution: The outcome has been reached. Some aspects of this can be put into my trailer for example the drug dealer could break out of jail, or the drug addicts could overcome their addiction. There are a lot of possibilities to this resolution but i have not decided on mine yet.

This booklet seems to have a large amount of guidance and theory. Reading this may give me some new ideas for my trailer...
