Jane is a jilted bride who possesses evil powers whenever she wears her dead husband's wedding ring. Since her first husband Joe died of cancer, Jane has been unable to love another man and uses the ring's power to kill any subsequent husbands who get too close to her. The document outlines the camera shots and angles that will be used to tell Jane's story in a teaser trailer, including close-ups of her face and the ring, as well as medium shots of her husbands begging for mercy while trapped in a ring of candles where her first husband died. The intended effect is to scare the audience while also eliciting sympathy for Jane's victims.
