Reverse Chronology Narrative

Reverse chronology is a method of story-telling whereby the plot is revealed in reverse order. 

In a story employing this technique, the first scene shown is actually the conclusion to the plot. Once that scene ends, the penultimate scene is shown, and so on, so that the final scene the viewer sees is the first chronologically.

In 2002, Coldplay released the song 'The Scientist'. This song's music video appeared to feature Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, singing the lyrics in the reversed footage, he had to learn to sing the song backwards, which took him a month.

This helpful to look at but I will not be using the technique of learning to say words in reverse order as this is quite complex and most of my actors are also doing A-Levels to to expect them to take time to learn a script in reverse order would be quite an ask. Instead, when it comes to speech in my trailer I will either have a scene where they're not doing anything obviously-reversed, or they can be still so the audience cannot tell.
