Changes to my trailer

When it came to recording my trailer there was caught a few changes I had to make. To start with I first of all had to change my actors due to there being issues when it came to recording, the person who originally offered to help out had to prioritise there own work which led to me having to find someone else that was free to record when I needed it. So, this had led to me then using a different actor, Hannah Melia but also myself as I know I can rely on myself. Another thing I had to change was first of all a few scenes when I started recording and part of the story line. This is simply because when it came to reading my plot and script again it seemed a little bit confusing having one friend getting possessed by a box which leads to her wanting to kill the friend with a secret. So, instead I had decided that I was going to change the story line so that Sandi still has this secret she is hiding from Jamie but then Jamie gets involved with the devil as they both believe Sandi should die for what she has done. This has then led to me changing a few scenes or even adding a few extra so that it is made clear that Jamie has know joined forces with the devil.

A little bit about the scenes I have changed or added:
At the start I have added a scene where Sandi is on the phone speaking to an unknown character saying how Jamie knows what she has done. I have decided I am going to start my trailer with a disequilibrium as it will grab the audiences attention straight away and they'll want to know what Sandi means by all of this. I have then decided I am going to add a montage of events but it is all going to go back in time where it then cuts to a scene of the girls when they're all happy and everything is perfectly fine. I have changed the scene of Jamie and Sandi finding the box as I said before this seemed to make the story line too complex, I just decided to get rid of this scene all together and record bits in the woods of Sandi being chased. Instead of Sandi looking out the window and noticing a strange figure I have done it where Sandi actually goes outside herself and recognises that its Jamie. I have cut the scene out where Sandi goes looking for the box to a phone conversation and then her running back into the woods to see if she can find out whats happened. Also looking at my script I have cut out scene 8 all together, I am going to simply use a voice over instead on top of a few scenes I have filmed. Due to me not using some scenes I have taken bits from my script and not changed the scene completely just improved a bit, If you look at my script for example you will see that I may have just changed the location the actors are in or improved on the scene a bit. Also when it comes to looking at my actually trailer you will be able to see in my filming and then comparing it back to my script which bits I have added. This is purely because  when looking back over my script a few times I thought the story line was a bit confusing so I thought I may need to remove but also add a few scenes for the audience to understand whats going on a bit more. I also some scenes that were added would personally look better than the old ones I had originally wanted to do.
