I chose to write a script for the trailer as I envision it as it's being created. Making a shot list and storyboard will be easier too as I will already have an idea of how it's going to look.
I have stuck with the idea of making it point of view and keeping it behind the scenes like in the BBC Radio 1 advert. Originally this was going to be a teaser but Charlie suggested the idea of following the presenter/host as they 'lead' the camera to the set. I liked this idea as coming up with a teaser would be simpler than a trailer due to the trailer having to tell the viewer what the show is about rather than teasing what it is.
One notable problem with this is that it ends with the set: which isn't coming until 2 days before the recording which is far too late and impractical to film. An alternative idea is to end the trailer with the camera walking through a door to the set and a white light filling the screen to sounds of an audience clapping and cheering. This keeps a teasing element to the trailer but still provides information on the show.
My idea is to have the presenter talk about the show as they're leading the camera to the set. There'll be references to the stories that will be covered in the show.
I want it to look as though it's one continuous take but split by several edits disguised by a shot that can be edited easily. For example the camera whip pans and then use the blurring to transition into the next shot which begins with a whip pan to make the edit seamless.
To make the journey quicker each edit will 'teleport' the camera to a different place but closer to the set.
