The first part of our trailer will be of a close up of the latest newspapers all writing about the Jack the Ripper being caught. This will introduce the the audience to the concept of the film, this will also intrigue viewers as everyone knows that Ripper was never actually caught (this links into the idea of alternative history).
The next part of the trailer cuts to a flashback of Ripper with a victim but is then caught by the police; its quite unusual for the audience to see the villain before the hero so may lead to an affinity with him instead of the detectives. This scene links again to the idea of alternative endings and events as Ripper was never see.
The next scene in the trailer cuts to a bloody and brutal murder of a woman, the last of Rippers known victims; this is probably the most historically accurate parts of our trailer though instead of being her home like it was truly, we were thinking of having her murdered in a London street.
This next shot is of a detective trying to piece together the murders and realising there is not much logic in who they have caught being the only murderer (this begins the theme of there being other people involved in the killings). Also the detective in the shot may be Detective Moore who is the assistant to Abberline.
The audience then see Detectives Abberline and Moore witnessing a murder by two people in the East End of London in the exact same way that Ripper murders his victims. This is when the tales of Ripper completely deviate from what actually happened and we find out there were more then five killings.
Abberline and Moore tell the force what they have found out about the East End murders, no one believes them and they must capture the Rippers themselves.
The next scene the audience can hear a voice over of Ripper, then Abberline reading one of Jack the Rippers most well known letter, we though that it would be Saucy Jack as it is firstly one of the most legible and eloquent letters "Jack" wrote. plus the length of the letter is good for our trailer.
The final part of our trailer will be of the title and the date when the film is released. The colours that we may use for the titles will probably be dark to go with the cinematography of the rest of the trailer; the text may be a red which is likened to blood and it will be on a black background, the font of the text is still in though, but nothing to stereotypical of a murder film as it will be a cliché.
