Applying Syd Field's Three Act Structure.

First Act: We established the main protagonist Kylie, her best friend Daniel and his new girlfriend Sabrina. The first incident is Kylie not being happy that Daniel got a girlfriend, because he stopped spending time with her.

Second Act: Kylie's mental disorder affects her so much that she decided to solve the situation with Daniel by killing him. We show shots of Kylie spitting out pills and attacking Daniel.

Third Act: As one of the main convention of a trailer is to not reveal the ending and resolution, our trailer follows this convention and therefore does not have a third act. Field's narrative is ment for feature films, so you can analyse and relate the narrative structure in depth, but I have attempted to apply his theory as much as possible.
