As my trailer is for a horror film, I did not want to take away from the mysteriousness of the situation by using an excessive amount of dialogue and so I decided to not have any dialogue or a script involved in the film. In other trailers for horror films, there is little dialogue and this adds to the ominous and spooky effect. I wanted my trailer to be as effective and eerie as other professional trailers.
Although there won't be any specific dialogue sequences, I will include various lines of dialogue throughout the trailer to heighten tensions. For example, phrases such as "who are you?" and "why are you doing this?", as well as some possible screaming sounds.
Highlighting the scarier moments in the trailer using music and sound motifs, as well as clever editing, will be, in my opinion, far more effective than overusing any dialogue. The music will add to the dark and ominous environment of the trailer, and heighten tensions in the audience. Having little dialogue in a trailer may be unconventional, however, I think this will improve my trailer and increase the appeal for the audience.
