The document provides a summary of the trailer for the film "Hansel & Gretel". It describes several scenes from the trailer, including Hansel and Gretel saying goodbye to their father and running away into the woods after being startled. It then shows them discovering the witch's house in the distance and stopping to catch their breath before the door to the house creaks open, revealing half of the witch's face.
2. Our trailer begins with a wide shot of the witches house; in the background we hear a voiceover briefly narrating this shot and
hear soft Celic music. It then cuts to 3 pairs of feet walking, including the sound of footsteps and crunching leaves/twigs. Another
straight cut then fade into a medium shot of Hansel and Gretel (main characters). The music fades out and we see them looking
up at an unknown figure and we hear a deep voice (Hansel and Gretel suggested father) saying his goodbyes to the children. We
hear leaves crunching as the person walks away and we get a close-up of their reactions – Gretel then calls out for her father. In
the next scene we see Hansel and Gretel give each other a knowing look followed by a close-up of them holding hands. Whilst
this is happening, we hear a twig snap and a close-up of Hansel and Gretel swivelling their heads rapidly to the side – they both
gasp, and run off deeper into the woods, and we see a medium close up of their feet scrabbling away.
3. We then have a close-up of ‘Mars Studios presents’ written with twigs on the forest floor, and only then does the fast pace music
begin foretelling adventure. We then have 3 shots of Hansel and Gretel running for their lives each with text in between. (Text to
be decided on a later date). One running shot would be a tracking shot from behind both children, the next from the side and the
last a medium-close-up of their faces.
4. From a distance we spot the witches house, surrounded by tall trees, then a medium shot of Hanse; and Gretel who stop to catch
their breath. We hear Hansel and Gretel breathing heavily. Then a wide shot of Hansel, Gretel and the house altogether, with a
strong heartbeat in the background (along with the breathing). We see Gretel try and go forward towards the house but Hansel
puts his arm out to stop her. The next shot is a close-up of the houses door, which slowly opens with a creaking sound in the
background. We see half of the witches face, the other half covered by the door. A wicked smile slowly appears on her face.
5. Then blackout and the words ‘’Hansel and Gretel’’ fade onto the screen, with a straight cut to the words ‘’
Coming Soon’’
