Outline of 'Alone' Trailer

The trailer for our film 'Alone', introduces the main character Nancy. Nancy is a teenage immigrant who had come to London for the very first time. Nancy is all alone in the big city of London and has no-one to depend on. She is living rough on the streets and has barely any money. Nancy is also struggling to feed herself and often has to beg pedestrians for donations. Nancy was looking for shelter to sleep for the night, She heard arguing and this had caught her attention. She could see two males dressed in smart clothing arguing with a young female.

Nancy then sees one of the males lashing out to the female and realises that the female has been stabbed. Nancy knowing that she had just witnessed a murder, decided to run away unseen. She then runs and steps on a can, which made a noise and had alerted the two criminals that they have been seen carrying out the murder. Nancy looks back and sees the criminals running towards her, this is when she also run trying to get away from the two male criminals.

Nancy is then on the run and feels paranoid thinking everyone is against her, she can hardly speak any English and is petrified to go to the police to report it. The two high class criminals then finally find Nancy and kidnap her. The trailer ends with a cliffhanger with Nancy seen in a darkroom with a figure of a person with a knife coming towards her. This leaves the audience wondering what has happened to her.
