Script For Teaser Trailer

First Draft
The trailer opens with titles flickering in like there is interference, along with a fuzzing sound as each one appears. Between each title a short clip appears of Joan and Jason, Cathy filming.

Title 1: Approximatley 275,000 people go missing in the UK every year

Cut to Cathy filming Jason and Joan. They all run together around a corner to inside a building to a flight of stairs. They are out of breath and extremely panicked.

Jason: Up here!

Title 2: One person goes missing every two minutes

Cut to them back inside the building. Jason and Joan run up the stairs, Cathy follows them with the camera.

Joan: Run! Go faster!

Title 3: Over 35,400 of these people are found dead

They all stop at the top of the stairs, unsure where to turn next. They all stand out of breath. Cathy speaks still holding the camera on Joan and Jason.

Cathy (desperatley): Where now?!

Jason: Wait, wait. Be Quiet

Title 4: At least 16,000 dissapear forever

"forever" continues to flicker in and out and then suddenly dissapears making it stand out from the rest of the title.

Cut to Cathy still filming Jason and Joan standing very close to her against a wall. Joan stands there covering her mouth with both hands, as if she is attempting to be completly silent and hold in a scream. Jason stands there very still also looking straight ahead, terrified. Cathy moves the camera around so it faces down the hall way. At the end there is a silhouette that moves in a strange way. She zooms in and the camera goes out of focus, then in focus again. The audience still can not see what the silhouette is, but they can tell it is not human.

Suddenly the shot cuts to black and the audience hear a girl's piercing scream. She continues to scream when a male and another female start screaming and crying. The audience know it is the three characters they have just seen. While the screams continue, the name of the film flickers in followed by the release date and institutional references.

Title 5: RUN

Title 6: October 2011

Cut to black.
