The Script
The script for 'The Sanctuary' is short and simple, but our choice of words is really effective. We used the voices of; Joseph Broady (Alpha), Amber Chisholme (tagline), and the voice of a presenter recording the Jonestown Massacre. We limited the script to three voices because we felt this would be the most effective. The majority of the speech in the trailer is by Joseph Broady, the main antagonist in the film. Our group chose Joseph because it isn't typical of a horror trailer to reveal the antagonist/killer, or give them a leading role.
