“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”
- JRR Tolkien

Research Into Target Audience: Their comments on my 'GENIUS IDEA'

Last post I described a new set of ideas for my trailer, and since I love the opinions and the ideas that could come from others, I asked a couple of my friends for any feedback on my new ideas. 

For a start, Paige expressed her enthusiasm with;
I am in no way disregarding the efforts the lads put into with the footage in this post but I just don't see it working anymore, so I'll put it on the cutting room floor (for now at least)...

We also discussed...





And I asked for Megan's ideas too, in which she said;


So I'm slowly gaining more and more momentum for the trailer now, yet with these ideas, I'm starting to simplify previous ideas etc. This is always the process when it comes to the production of story-telling of any kind. First you go wild with ideas, then it gets all weird and 'bitty', then you forget that you even had any ideas since things start messing up and the path ahead looks foggy, and then you add in or change one element and everything just starts fitting together! And I think I've reached that part - finally!

And I'm settling on the decision that it'll be a teaser trailer! So I'll have to analyse a bunch of them now!
