My Film Trailer Script.

I  have now composed my Film Trailer script and was able to do so by succesfully annotating my script style models. This helped me understand the correct layout and how to efficiently script for a production. Having done this I could include camera movements, angles, shots and various other script technqiues to provide me with a clear final script which would satisfy my audiences needs.
