Voice Over

Many trailers use voice overs for the trailers to tell the audience more about the plot of the film so the clips seen make sense to the viewer.

I've decided to script two voice overs for my trailer;

1. From the P.O.V of the main character Mollie, like in the trailer for Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan narrates from the P.O.V of Cady.

2. From a narrator voicing the film, like in the trailer for Wild Child.

In this High School Mollie Fletcher had it all
