This is my version:

Then we both read eachother's scripts and exhcnaged ideas about what we wanted in the final trailer to make it the best it could be.

Final Trailer Script:

Opening Titles
VOICE OVER:
The city has been warned, there is a murderer on the loose. Police are cautioning all citizens to stay in their houses.
SAM:
Matthew! Screaming
(Whilst voice over of Radio and Sam are being played the production titles are on the screen)
(Screen goes to black. Music thuds. Scene cuts to Sam on the phone)
DETECTIVE FLETCHMAN:
(Over the phone) this is detective Fletchman. I am so sorry for your loss. We’re gonna catch the man who did this.
SAM:
Long pause Not if I find him first. Slams the phone down next to picture of the couple.
(Music thuds. Screen fades to black. Titles appear)
 (Cuts to night time, heavy knocking at the door.)
Sam walks to the door (shots fading in and out)
NORRIS:
Sam, is everything ok? Frantic and out of breath
SAM:
 Yes Norris why? Annoyed and impatient tone
NORRIS:
Don’t want to alarm you but I think I just saw something in your back yard...
SAM:
The kids
Runs to the kitchen to find the window wide open (Creaking floorboards)
Sam scrambles around the kitchen (screen fades to black) picks up knife. Runs up the stairs
Opens door (music stops)
SAM: sighs relief
Backs out of the room closing the door behind her (Creaking bedroom door, music begins)
Sam slowly walks to the door (Screen goes black. Film titles appear)
