The radio trailer draft one: we used less overlap and we added more dialogue then before. We were going to add a scream but felt that it was too cheesy and out of place. We will get audience feedback on the radio trailer and see what the audience think in order for us to improve it and make it better. We have started off with a lullaby because we wanted the mood to be set for the audience so straightaway they would be engaged. Also from the beginning of the radio trailer the audience finds out what kind of genre the film is. We wanted the lullaby to prepare the audience for something scary keeping them anticipated throughout. We then introduce the character, the dialogue of the character gives the impression that the character is hesitated and that something may have happened. When everything starts playing together such as the dialogue the music and the SFXs it builds tension and gets the audience reeling in for a surprise. 

Contracts

This is the contract I have made and changed it according to what I needed signing for example asking permission from one of the actresses parent for her to star in our film. I had to make a contract for the two actresses, the location man, permission to enter the premises and so forth.
