I have completed the script/outline for my two trailers. For my first trailer i wanted to break all normal conventions of a trailer. This trailer opens with a narrator telling the story of ancient pizza. The visuals are ancient pictures ( cave drawings or other ancient pictures). Half way through his story we see that the main character of the film is not finished drawing the rest of the pictures, the rest of the trailer is the narrator arguing with the main character for wasting his time. Then the title card.
The second trailer is more traditional showing the plot of the movie and introducing characters. It will show the main character sucking at everything and then coming up with the idea with his friends and starting the trip.



Script
Billy Canton.      John Ford
Title: -------
Sub:It's Pizza Time!

(NOTE: every line can be changed while filming if the ad lined line is funnier.)


Trailer 1 ~

Cave drawings of the story with narrator being very serious, gets to the 5th image and sees that artist is still working on it.

Narrator: The round, circular disc of dough, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese has been around since the dawn of the ancient Italians. They named it Pizza, after the late Pete Za, inventor of the….

Narrator: Excuse me ...what are you doing?

Billy: I'm finishing the drawings for (looks at script) the Pizza time movie trailer number 2.

Narrator: It's not done yet? (Billy shakes his head) well then why am I doing the VO for this trailer ( narrator gets angry) I just spent hours doing my vocal warm ups and preparing this amazing script about the history of pizza and its impact in today's society, I haven't even gotten to the story yet !!!; and you haven't finished yet! This is an outrage.

Billy: look mister i'll be done in a few hours if you just wanna wait.

Narrator:  A few hours!!! No I'm going to call my agent ( phone starts to ring)
