As director of the trailer, I made the decision not to implement diegetic sound within our trailer; for this reason we did not include a script which was used within our trailer footage.
Despite new soaps using trailers which feature diegetic sound, in order to show the location through speech dialect; I felt that we didn't need to include these as we featured various locations where shops could be seen as well as phone numbers which included the area code (01480) - this can be seen within the mise-en-scene of the drug scene as the local florist is in the background.
Another reason why I chose not to feature diegetic sound wihtin our trailer was because Philip our drug dealer has a speech impediment which would have made it hard for viewers to understand; I also did not want to change the actor of Philip's role in order to solve this problem as I wanted to feature an unsterotypical drug dealer.
We featured speech wihtin the trailer in written form by using props (phone); we used this as it is modern technology which helpep signify that this is a modern soap, as well as it was a way around not involving diegetic sound.
The text message stated:
Meet @ 4 in alley..
The only use of a script within our soap trailer which we used was in order to record the voiceover; the script which we created was short in order to quickly deliver the needed information for viewers and used a tag question in order to gain their attention.
The script for the voice over stated:
