The Script

The Teaser trailer was originally supposed to include a short conversation in the symmetrical front garden of the Painter. The conversation would have gone a little like this:

A Conversation between Painter and visitor.

Location: Front Garden

Time: Late Evening

Visitor: You’ve got a very nice house… did you … did you decorate it yourself?

Painter: [A blank stare into the visitors eyes]

Visitor: [nervous laugh] Sorry… I’m a bit nervous… I don’t usually do this. Can I have another drink? *Vigorously finishes his drink all at once*

Painter: *Gets out of seat and walks off screen*

We chose to take it out of the film because it will slow down the fast paced narrative and tempo of the trailer. However we did keep the awkward stares between the painter and the visitor. This is because it helps the viewer to understand that there is an extremely uncomfortable mood in the scene.
