brainstorming potential shots list trailer 1

Hello,

I haven't fully decided what scenes I am including in the trailer(s) but I decided to start putting together the trailer 1 shots list for now and see where it takes me.

For trailer 1, I was thinking I could focus more on character development. Or maybe both the trailers are about character development but they're told from a different point of view and narrated by different characters. The first one can have a voiceover by Mckenzie and the second one by Nick. As I am typing, I am realizing it would be somewhat similar to the movie Flipped. A little over half of the movie is told through Julie's perspective while the end is told through the perspective of Bryce. It's actually a similar storyline (I just realized) in the sense that Julie has been in love with Bryce since they met as kids but he doesn't feel the same way. Eventually, Julie gives up and is not interested in Bryce anymore. Ironically, at the same time, Bryce begins to realize he is falling for Julie Baker. 




  • The trailer could open up on the typical scene of a girl finishing up her hair/makeup as her parents call her telling her she's gonna be late for school. This can be filmed through the point of view from the mirror in which Mckenzie talks to as an interview in a way. 

  • Eventually, Mckenzie goes downstairs and a knock is heard at the door from her friend to walk to school together. 

  • This can be a Point of view shot and then a tracking shot and Mckenzie goes to get the door.

  • A mid shot can then take place of the girls hugging and saying good morning to each other.

  • Another mid shot except a little zoomed out this time can take place with a combination of a pov shot in which Mckenzie gets a piece of toast or bagel on her way out for school and saying bye to her parents. 

  • A longshot can then take place between Mckenzie and her friend as they walk far away from the house. 

  • The next scene switches between mid shots and point of view shots of the girls having a conversation.

  • A longshot could also take place showing Nick and his friend walking on the other side of the street and waving as soon as he realizes who's there. 

  • A longshot of Mckenzie and her friend could show them waving back and switches to a close-up of Mckenzie's face of disgust. 

  • A point of view of Mckenzie looking at her friend switches to a close up of her friend asking what's wrong and why she is so fast to shut out Nick. Her friend tries to urge her to pursue Nick but Mckenzie refuses. 


The rest of the scenes I will work on later but I think this is a good starting spot.
