Script for soap opera trailer

Here is a copy of the script my group and I devised for our short soap opera trailer. This is just a rough draft, and may change slightly if we decide something else works better when it comes to the actual production. We decided not to have any dialogue as we thought that because it is a new soap opera, the audience would not know of any storylines and so we thought the focus should be on the footage and the music. However, we have included a small amount of dialogue if we should change our minds.
