Planning; creating our screenplay

Today in class me & my group began writing the screen play for our horror trailer, this is one of the most important parts of our planning!  Dialogue is extremely important in our trailer as it engages the audience and helps tell the story.  To write our screen play we used a software called Celtx. Celtx is a brilliant pre-production software designed for creating and organising media products like scritps, screenplays and  films etc.  While writing our screen play we found ourselves having to make decisions on several things such as locations, text, pace and sound effects, this is something that took a lot of thought and time as we had to ensure we made the best decisions. By looking at our character profiles we were able to identify how each of the characters spoke which helped us write their individual dialogues. After writing out each of the scenes we then arranged them into order, trailers are almost always in non-chronological order , this influenced our decisions here. Arranging the scenes enabled us to picture the trailer in our minds, this helped us judge the trailer and identify areas which needed editing.
